This long-established family business specialises in local pastries and delicacies, most notably Sintra's famous Queijadas and Travesseiros. Founded in 1862 the bakery acquired its name from King Carlos's nickname for Constância Gomes who co-founded the business. Carlos was a daily visitor during his stay in Sintra in the summer months. During the '40s the Travesseiro, a pastry stuffed with sweet eggs and almonds, was developed here and is still made according to the secret house recipe. A second Piriquita can be found around the corner to the original.

Situated close to Sintra's town hall the Regional is somewhat a local legend. The unassuming façade betrays a smart and homely interior where jovial staff await your pleasure. The meals served here are hearty and traditional yet presented wonderfully. The portions may be large yet the bill is small and very fair. Look out for their stews, they're the reason why people queue to get in, both local and visitor alike. Come for the authentic Portuguese dining experience, leave happy.

Portugal has a very long-standing relationship with Japan, however, Japanese cuisine is still relatively a new thing in Portugal. They don't come much better than Harko's. They offer a delicious range of sushi and sashimi as well as noodle, grilled and tempura dishes. Regulars of Japanese restaurants would recognise much on the menu yet with an added playful twist, such as the Scallop Sashimi with Passion fruit Sauce. Locally sourced ingredients ensure the highest and freshest quality time after time. The restaurant is located within the São Pedro and makes an excellent detour if walking to or from Pena Palace overhead.
