The small town of Mafra had only a few restaurants with Yelp reviews, and this was one of them…read more After spending a few hours at the Mafra Palace, I walked the 5 or so minutes across the road to this restaurant for lunch. My expectations were completely met. First, the practice of bringing out couvert (which is charged for) is something I've had to get used to while in Portugal. I rejected a few of the offerings, but kept the fresh cheese and olives. Both were really, really good! Next, I ordered the special of wild boar. My expectations were admittedly low because I've never had wild boar. The good news--wow! So good. The meat was incredibly tender and tasted amazing. There was some food next to the meat that I have no idea what it was. Maybe something like stuffing? But, it was FANTASTIC. I could have eaten on that. The potatoes were done well and the rice was flavored better than anywhere else I've tried. Even though English was a challenge at this restaurant, service was still good. But, even if it had be slightly less agreeable service, the quality of the food would still have made this a five star review. I would definitely go back. As an added note: if you're using Yelp to see what's around, despite a lack of reviews, there are tons of restaurants and cafes in this general area. If you don't want to go to O Brasao, there are many other options.

Located on a traffic free travessa, clean, flowers on every table, specializes in game (venison, wild boar), but plenty of Portuguese standards, like grilled sardines (wife), and arroz de pato ( crispy rice with duck), which I had. Both were perfect. Large portions, with no one blinking when asked for a doggy bag. Wine list reasonable, all Portuguese choices topping out at 10 euros/ bottle. For everything with wine and tip, two persons, 35 euros. High rec.

It was kind of like a soup and came to our table in a large pot with a ladle. The flavors were fantastic, one of the best things I've eaten in Sintra. The service was good, very friendly. We received a free dessert :) The other two dishes we ordered were just okay. One of it was a seafood skewer and the other dish was a grilled cod. Both had a very simple olive oil taste and we requested some hot sauce to go with it. I find that Portuguese food tends to lack salt in general. The menus were outdated and didn't give the food any justice. The menu with prices on it was in Portuguese only so we had to play some matching with the English menu and the Portuguese one to figure out the prices.
