10/10A little restaurant about a 25 minute walk from the main tourist area of Sintra. Absolutely worth the trip. The food was wonderful with the mushroom risotto being the highlight. The thoughtful wine pairing and friendly service enhanced the experience. A must visit restaurant

10/10An extraordinary meal and dining experience. We left wondering why this restaurant did not have a Michelin Star considering it was significantly better than some of the Michelin restaurants we have dined at in the Lisbon/Sintra area. Philipe our server was extremely knowledgable made great meal and pairing suggestions, explained in detail each course and overall provided a level of service deserving of special recognition. Was simply put a perfect evening!

10/10It was the best meal that we had in Portugal and we have eaten at some amazing restaurants during the week we were here.. The service was amazing. Recommend letting them choose the wine, as their knowledge of the local wine is great

9.5/10We attended Sabores de Mercado for a late lunch after walking through parks and palaces in Sintra, and it was the perfect cap to our day out. I would recommend making a reservation on the Fork as it’s a touch smaller. However, its size allows for an intimate experience and excellent service. The interiors feel cozy. We split the tomato bruschetta, and amazingly all of the ingredients used were local. The flavor did not disappoint, and it was served warm which I welcomed. It had the right balance of acidity from the tomatoes, and savory spice from the micro basil used. Next came a spider octopus confit, and the cod. The cod was delicious. The spider octopus was so soft, due to the expert cooking and that it is a local variety that is caught near Sintra. The flavor was unbelievably savory, and it was not overly salty either. If you are debating on whether or not to get it, I would suggest getting it. For dessert, we had the brownie with a yogurt cream — which again had a great balance of rich chocolate, and something sharp to cut through. For the entire menu, our host provided and suggested wine pairings by the glass, and the pairings did not disappoint. Overall, I would highly recommend making a stop at Sabores de Mercado.

10/10The food was delicious. We hat the goat cheese bruschetta, the lasagna, and the mushroom risotto. Each serving was paired with a wine suggested by Phillip, our very attentive waiter. We couldn’t finish, we were so full and I was sad to leave food on my plate. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Sintra. It is fairly small, so be sure to make a reservation.

5.5/10The food was good and the decor was cosy and stylish . However the service was very pressured . We did not like being told that they would be choosing the wine for us and then going through quite a difficult and overly long process to arrive at one that was ok and that the waiter thought was acceptable for us to order . Also did not like having to use our phones to access the menu and that the wine list gave no description whatsoever of the wine on it leaving us totally in the hands of the waiter . The waiter probably meant well but we found the experience rather ridiculous and uncomfortable
Sabores do Mercado • Owner
Dear Denise, thanks for your comments and review. However, we would like to clarify that our intention is to personalize customer service and be able to offer the best possible experience. Without intending to be evasive, the choice of wines for the food pairing is very important to us, since there is a variety of labels and Portuguese grapes, most of the time, unknown by customers. Also, our wine selection changes every month, that’s why it’s a digital wine list. On this day we opened 3 bottles of wine for your table to choose what you like, and always looking for pleases your taste. We apologize for any inconvenience. Sincerely, SDM Team.

10/10The service was attentive. Good informative welcome and knowledgeable advice concerning the pairings. The quality of the food and wines was very good; my wife and I shared a mushroom Burrata. For mains I had the surf & turf and my wife the cod, and to finish we enjoyed the pastries. All local produce, well presented and very tasteful.

8.5/10The wine list is too expensive, no reason for that,
Sabores do Mercado • Owner
Dear Mr. João, it was a pleasure having you at the restaurant and thanks for taking the time to rate us. However, we have checked your comment about our wine list and would like to clarify that our cellar labels are generally more exclusive and from small producers, with the exception of the house wine, we prefer to work with more boutique products; bringing differentiated wines with medium price ranges. We hope to welcome you again soon to indicate you wines within a reasonable price with special characteristics and flavors.
