Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Unique building, very close to the Sintra train station. Food and coffee was fantastic, so good, I ate too much. Great place to start the day before trekking to the castles.

Four of us visiting Portugal for the first time from NYC and stayed at the Chalet Saudade! We had a delightful breakfast here, which was included in our Chalet, and the meal was plentiful, delicious and we loved the atmosphere! We arrived early, just before...the crowds and enjoyed the unique beauty of the building which incorporates a gift shop, eatery combined! Eat well & bring home a souvenir! Friendly & welcoming staff!More

Stay at the guest house with the same name and a breakfast at Saudade was included. Had two outstanding breakfasts. Fruit was fresh, coffee was great and the bread and croissant were perfect. Highly recommend the restaurant and the guest house as well.

Literally the biggest and BEST scones I have ever put in my mouth. Freshed baked...from their ovens to your stomach. Add a cappuccino and your day is off to a great start!

Coffee was ok. We tried the cheesecake (portuguese speciality) but it was far too sweet. Bit of a touristy place - prob better in Sintra

This gem is not to be missed! Food was to die for and service was beyond friendly and personal. Louis is a ROCK star. She found us a table in a private room which may have not been for the public and it was perfection....Small, intimate, perfect for our party of 4. Do not leave without having a banana, strawberry, blueberry fruit smoothie and apple scone. Still longing for them today! 5⭐️More

We were visiting Sintra for the day and after reading the reviews and seeing people queuing to go in. We knew this was the place to stop and have lunch. It did not disappoint with our lovely welcome and helpful waiter who made suggestions to...eat. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. I highly recommend a visit here enjoy this charming venue.More

Fabulous service and the best sangria ever; full of real fruit and fantastic flavours. Had it with cinnamon and apple cake plus cream and ice cream. A treat after a day exploring Sintra.

We just arrived in Sintra and were looking for a place to have breakfast! luckily Saudade is right next to the train station. Luisa who is the manager was amazing! she made us feel welcome from minute 1 and offered us a great place to...sit. Later on in the day, we went back to do a bit of work. WIFI worked great, took calls from the restaurant with no issue at all.More

We had twice the breakfast here, because we were guests of the Saudade hotel. The personnel/ owners were absolutely beautiful and so generous. Highly recommended!
