Fodor's Expert Review Tacho Real
$$$
Sintra
Portuguese
Locals make their way up a steep hill to this restaurant for traditional dishes like bacalhau à brás (salt cod with eggs, onions, and sliced potato) that are cooked with panache and served by a friendly staff. Steaks are a specialty, as are the mouthwatering desserts that include house-made cakes and tarts. On warm days the small terrace is delightful, and there is often live guitar music welcoming you at the door.
