D'el Rei - Sintra

A comida estava boa, carne tenra, bem confeccionada e pratos bons. O serviço não foi muito bom. Não gostei da atitude com que nos atenderam, e pedimos pelo menos uma salada e uma cesta de pão que chegou no final da refeição e tivemos que mandar para trás. Demorámos excessivo tempo para tudo. Para pedir, para vir a comida, para pagar. O espaço não é mau, mas a estrutura do próprio restaurante é um pouco estranha.

Uma bela visita ao Palácio da Luz e depois almoçar em um restaurante ao lado. Boa experiência.

Lovely little restaurant. Great food, staff were friendly but did not speak a lot of English, my Portuguese is limited but we managed to make ourselves understood. The best meal I had in my stay in Portugal.

With a eating room in need of a deep remodeling , a menu full of banalities, one can hardly expect a gourmet experience. Nevertheless, having tried the cod patties, they came with twice the amount of potato to be true to their heritage. As for the legumes rice, it came drowned in water. But the worst was the créme brûlée which was heated in the microwave. The caramelized top was completely chewy and the cream was much too hot. Wrong turn, I guess. Fast and friendly service though.

There’s a small porch outside and a larger space indoors. While yes, there were other tourists besides me having lunch there, the place has the feeling of a local hangout, and my Portuguese was put to the test. (There is an English menu, too.
