Cantinho de São Pedro

Frommer's Review

Less than 2km (1 1/4 mile) southeast of Sintra, in São Pedro de Sintra, this is one of the hillside village's finest dining choices. It's right off the main square, Praça Dom Fernando II, where the Feira da Sintra (Sintra Fair) is staged every second and fourth Sunday of the month. Dating from the time of the Christian Reconquest, the fair is one of the oldest in the country. Look for the pratos do dia (daily specials), or save your appetite for the tasty specialties. They include velvety crepes stuffed with fresh lobster, and meltingly tender beefsteak in green-pepper sauce. On a recent visit, we enjoyed salmon and shrimp au gratin. But pork with clams in the style of the province of Alentejo remains the eternal and justifiably popular favorite.
