O Manel - Sintra

Excellent food, desserts and very friendly staff

I just had lunch at the O Manel restaurant in Pêro Pinheiro. Bad service, with a lot of arrogance and bad manners, the lady who is at the tables, I don't know if she is the manager, should undergo training in hotel management. For starters I got quality sliced ​​bread and mediocre olives, acceptable red house wine in a jug, for the main course a reasonably well cooked sirloin steak, but, in a very ungenerous dose, it seemed more like something for someone on a diet, the dessert was a delicious flan pudding but also in a not very generous dose, finally a good espresso. The location is not easy for parking, the price-quality ratio is mediocre. Not going back!

Freshly prepared food, fresh ingredients and lots of flavor. Homemade cod is phenomenal. Very good veal ribs and done exactly as I ordered. Good service, friendly and pleasant. I recommend.

Bad service, bad mood from the waitresses with lack of politeness among the staff owner with zero availability to find a way to set up a table for a group of 10 people, too much stress about the menu orders, not knowing how to inform what food was available.... Informing only what is unavailable

Well prepared food, good service and excellent quality/price. I recommend.
