Tasca d'Ana — Restaurant in Sintra

My fiancé and I stumbled upon this restaurant and ended up leaving early because the service was so poor. First, we are from Uruguay and approached the server in Spanish, and he would not stop speaking to us in English. We heard him speak to other tables in Spanish, so clearly he knows the language. We ordered bread with cheese, water, and a burger with fries and rice. It took about 15 minutes after being handed menus to get our order taken, and then we waiting almost an hour after receiving bread, and did not even end up getting our burger.

Really disappointing, the octopus rice was really bland and required quite a bit of salt and pepper to make edible. The cow ribs as well were very tough making them almost impossible to eat, and were served with plain rice and salad which were also underwhelming.

Given how poor the food was the prices were incredibly expensive, €22 for the rice and €18 for the ribs - paying for it felt painful.

It also felt a bit suspicious that multiple cab drivers were encouraging us to go there as we could pay for the taxis there if we didn't have cash - making it seem...
