They were short handed and I think they didn't really want to take us in but did. We were extremely grateful. They said it may take some time for our food to come out. We chanced it as reviews raved about this place. Also, we don't have reservations. The ambiance was great, staff was great, owner was amazing, and the food was really good. I highly recommend this place BUT I would make reservations. We learned this the hard way but got extremely lucky. We made sure to tip really well. I highly recommend this place and big thank you to the owner for taking us in.

A week in Portugal, this was my favorite place. If there were a Michelin system for casual little…read moreplaces this would be a Three Star. The food (wife) was absolutely phenomenal and the service (husband) was casual but attentive like a fine dining restaurant. The dishes were from all over Portugal like such as Cape Verdian beef; sheep cheese on toast; smoked duck with orange slices; grilled shrimp. It's about a 20 minute walk from the center of Sintra, which for the record completely empties out after the day trippers are gone.

I visited Bar do Binho during a trip to Lisbon as part of a tourist stop, initially for a ginjinha…read moretasting, which was fine. 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.

My wife and I were passing the shop while in Cintra for the day, on our trip to Portugal. One look…read moreinside, and we knew we had found our special place for this trip. 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.

"All I want is to eat that arm." (Sci-Fi Film "District 9", not to be confused with Villa 6)…read more Tucked deep into the steep hills of Sintra, this cute little restaurant is staffed with welcoming servers who do not in the very least resemble alien prawns. Some stumble upon Villa 6 while snaking their way downhill from Pena Palace, and that would be the preferable way to arrive here. Walking uphill instead is a feat requiring an unhuman tolerance for endless steps that could lead to one chewing their arm off in a fit of insanity. On our way up, every time we reached the top of a set of stairs, magically a new set would appear that would wind in another direction up the hill. It was exactly like the stairs scene near the end of "The Labyrinth", except with no Bowie and no tights. After the long hike, the shaded tables on the cobblestone street at Villa 6 were a huge relief, and the blankets on each chair were a thoughtful touch for extra cushioning. The rap music played here didn't match the rest of the ambiance, but we oddly also noticed rap blasting at several other restaurants we visited in Portugal. Now Villa 6 does not serve arm, but it does offer tasty tapas and traditional Portuguese dishes like bacalhau and bifana, sandwiches made with pork marinated in white wine, garlic, and paprika. We began our meal with some bacalhau codfish fritter appetizers, and they were perfect--crispy on the outside; creamy on the inside. Delicious! This was followed by a hearty pork loin bifana sans mustard. The meat was tender, flavorful, and precisely the fuel needed to take on another 100,000 hidden steps! Prices: Quite reasonable! 5 Euro for a bifana is a great deal! Worthy a rating of 4.5 cod balls. Ambiance: Solid rap playlist for lowkey creating a gangsta video to send to your friends back home. 4 record scratches! Food: I thoroughly enjoyed my bifana and the fritters! 4.8 Prawn sonic blasters! Ability to reach the restaurant: George Tsoukalos would say there was alien involvement regarding the steps. Negative 5,000 Overall Villa 6 is a wonderful spot to enjoy traditional Portuguese food before or after exploring the castles of Sintra. I give it 4.4 stars.

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!
