Since it opened in 2004, A Bela Sintra has earned the title of one of the most exclusive Portuguese restaurants in the city, winning over the taste buds of international rock personalities and famous Brazilians.
Under the command of Portuguese businessman Carlos Bettencourt, the restaurant is located in Jardins and has become a must for those who appreciate haute cuisine and Mediterranean flavors. With a cuisine specializing in cod, the restaurant has won awards from gastronomic critics and transports customers directly to Lisbon through its flavours.
