The weird thing about the Crow Bar is that it's in Cascais, not Bairro Alto. The weird thing about…read moreBairro Alto is that there are no rock bars. The other weird thing about the Crow Bar, a rock bar in Cascais and not in Bairro Alto, is that it's customer base doesn't appear to be long-haired metalheads. We first went in the summer of 2016 and we were very happy to go back (quite a few times) in September, 2018. Bruno is a good bartender and very friendly (in his own way). His colleague, a very pretty, tattooed lady, was a bit shy but nice. Where else can you get a caneca and a bottle of Heineken for a total of only €4.50? I'll tell you where - the bar across from the train station in Tunes (Silves) down in the south of Portugal! But you won't hear any rock and roll there! I don't know who owns this bar but my God, I hope they make enough money here to keep it open. We're rockers and even if it isn't a rock crowd (when we've been there), at least it's rock! And beer! Cheap beer!

However, what blew me away here was the egg white dessert with the cream sauce -- It was very light and flavorful. The server seemed that he had worked here forever and reminded me of this sweet uncle who was joining us to chat when he came over. The restaurant was full of Sintra's extended families out for a Sunday lunch -- though the server spoke English! It felt like a comfortable place I'd like to come back to.

Unfortunately we never made it past the starters. Oysters were amazing - plump, fresh and delicious. Then the fried shrimp were excellent but what really was remarkable were the artichoke, beef tartare and truffle mayo apps. One of the reasons we never got to mains were 2 orders of those. Definitely a place to return to!!

The bread was sooooo good. The vegetable soup was warm and tasty, but pretty boring. Some leaves inside a creamy broth. Could've used more flavor and perhaps more ingredients. I got the two steaks which was a lot of food. I told him I was hungry and boy I got plenty. The potatoes were really well cooked. I liked the side dressings of carrot and cucumber and maybe banana peppers. The pork was a really unique steak. Overall tho, kinda bland. A lot of meat. Not the biggest fan of just a meat dish but I guess that's what I ordered huh? The dessert was really good. Hints of cinnamon that I loved to eat slowly. Total came out to about €21. Service was excellent. He spoke English upstairs and he was kind and talked me through options. Great guy.

After that, a Port wine was presented to us as a special product, different from the regular commercial version, with explanations suggesting exclusivity and added value. Based on this presentation and the tourist context, a bottle was sold for 85 €. After the trip, I discovered that this Port corresponds to a clearly identifiable commercial product that is widely available elsewhere at a much lower price. I contacted the merchant to request clarification or a possible solution. Despite several polite exchanges, no objective or verifiable explanation was provided, and no reasonable solution was offered. The final response was dismissive. This review is not about taste or wine quality, but about pricing transparency and how the product was presented, especially to tourists. Travelers should ask very clear questions before purchasing.

Walls were lined with bottles of Port wine in recent and ancient vintages. They advertised flights of Port and were set up to deliver at an eclectic variety of tables, high tops & in cozy corners. (Other varieties of Portugal's best, were available of course- Mediera, Ginha etc- but we were focused) Carlos was the very definition of a great sommelier, as he presented a selection of basic Ports for our edification! We learned the history of Port, the differences between varieties, vintages, Tawnys, Rubys, .... never knew of white Port!? It was all very delightful and informative (not to mention delicious) Carlos obviously loves his work & sharing his vast knowledge with like minded folks. Please don't miss this chance to get down and dirty with the family of Ports & take advantage of the fair prices and terrific selection to be found here in Cintra.

It feels…read morelike dining in someone's Portuguese family home, with mismatched plates and charm in every detail. The sangria (by the glass or in a clay jug) is a must.  We went all in as a group of four diners, ordering the sardine sandwich (incredibly fresh and layered with flavor), fried fish, octopus, scrumptious pig cheeks, and the most delicious chicken wings. Honestly, I could've skipped the steak sandwich, but everything else was outstanding. Didn't make it to dessert, but the plates we saw heading to other tables looked good. Even the bathroom adds to the experience, decorated like a home, complete with fake hanging "laundry". We walked in during a busy lunch time on a weekend day. Indoor and outdoor seating is available depending on the weather.
