Tucked on a side street near the Palácio Nacional de Sintra, Romaria de Baco is mostly frequented by locals and the visitors who happen to find it rather than tour groups working through a checklist.
The kitchen serves traditional Portuguese cooking with a modern twist, and the compact wine-bar setting makes it a good stop for a slower, sit-down meal after the crowds at the palace.
Its historic-centre address puts it within easy walking distance of Sintra’s main sights, without the queues that build up around the more visible restaurants nearby.
Local tip: The name nods to Bacchus — fittingly, the wine list is worth asking your server about rather than skipping straight to the food menu.

A round-trip half-day tour from Lisbon that includes a tasting of Sintra’s own queijada cheesecake and ginjinha cherry liqueur — a good way to try the local flavours Romaria de Baco also serves, from a different angle.
