6/10I was so disappointed with dinner at Dona Maria. This was our second meal with the restaurant and we enjoyed the first so much that we returned. Dinner was so terrible. Appetizers: We sent the mushy garlic shrimp in olive oil back after we each ate one bite. Mush like mashed potatoes. We enjoyed the goat cheese croquettes, we also ate this at lunch. Main Course: Our main courses were the duck magret (cooked to the proper temperature but the fat wasn’t rendered). My bacalou was utterly soft and slimy. I tried to find firmer pieces to eat and gave up. The skin of the fish was “flubbery” I’m not sure this is an actual word but it best describes what it looked like. The fish was also full of bones (some small, some large) so if I’d wanted to eat it, I’d be pulling bones out constantly. What happened to the wonderful food we ate the day before$2 The service was great. They really want their diners to be happy. The restaurant is beautiful. If the weather was better they have a lovely outdoor dining area. Because of the wildly inconsistent food I can’t recommend this restaurant.

6/10Great views but you eat those a bit like one course. Cod was overcooked and not the freshest and spinach inedible. There are better restaurants in Sintra. Service was good so hope they get their act together.

10/10Great little spot , with fine food , friendly team and a fabulous view out over Sintra. Parking a bit of a challenge so best to park bellow and walk up through the charming winding stone stairs to build up an appetite

7.5/10Food was good and service was courteous even if there was only 1 waiter for the entire restaurant. Ambience is quite pleasant both in the terrace -- great view -- and indoors -- nice rooms with old painted walls; there was an annoying draft of cold air at our table. The major setback is transportation in Sintra: it is extremely difficult to park a car and I had to drive for 10 miles just to get to a parking that was 500 yards away in straight line..

10/10One would never imagine what lies behind the iron gate and then the door of inconspicuous building in Sintra. A one-of-a-kind restaurant, with walls painted with bucolic scenes it has a nostalgic, yet modern, atmosphere. The three rooms offer comfortable seats and generous tables set with tablecloths. The view towards the Palácio da Vila and Sintra's rooftops is an added bonus, making this a wonderful place to have a serene lunch ou dinner. Food was faultless. The Game Sausage Croquettes with a Mustard and Honey Dip starter were very good, although I consider the dip could have a stronger, more pungent, taste. The Shrimp, Clam and Mussel Rice, was delicious, as was the Dona Maria Cod, which had an interesting aroma that I couldn't quite pinpoint. We paired the food with Terras de Uva red wine. Service was irreproachable.

8/10The inside room was very beautifully decorated, and they waited for us even when we were 40 minutes late. It is in the centre of the city, just some steps away from the central square. The food was average, but their spinach is really good, and also the risotto with spinach

9/10Excellent meal with a lovely view. Good service, nice table and chairs. A great experience and rather close to a 10/10. Just a bit short because of minor things like the surface layer of the house could have used a face-lift and nothing really giving me the "wow"-feeling.

8.5/10The very good view of Sintra makes it a pleasure to have a meal here. Food is OK (although not great), but it's worth trying this place if you're in Sintra.

7.5/10The rice was not really good, basmati rice with a broth but probably not boiled in the same pot... not much tasty.
