Interesting place

I found this place really interesting, and although the food was a bit bland I really loved the open plan kitchen with all the fresh vegetables laid out ready to cook - it's a cool concept. The staff were knowledgeable about vegan food and explained the options clearly - it's a set lunch so you basically get what you're given - either the veggie option or the vegan one.

It's definitely worth a visit for the experience (but maybe not so much the food).

Pros: Fresh produce, Interesting concept

Cons: Bland food, Minimal choice

Excellent Value for Vegan Set Menu

So glad to find this place just a few mins from the square.
We visited on a Friday and were so pleased that the set menu was all Vegan.
Great value set menu for €10pp including drink, hummus and bread, main course and baked apple. All of the food was super tasty and beautifully presented. Wine was €2 per glass. The kitchen is open which was nice to see, there are a few small tables outside. Would def recommend.

Pros: Excellent Value, Speak English well, Great tasting food

Cons: Just a few small outside tables

Delicious and fresh

Really simple cuisine and maybe no real vegan desserts than fruits but the meal was really really good. It tastes like you cook at home and it seems so fresh.
There's only one option of the menu that changes everyday.
Lovely staff.

Pros: Fresh and good taste

Cons: Just one option per day, Dessert is just fruit

Amazing food that tastes like home

Loved my meal at A Praça! It's super filling, comes in decent sized portions and at 10 euros for a soup, main dish, drink and dessert, you really can't beat it.
Make sure you mention you're vegan if that's the case, since the dishes might be vegetarian, but they adapt them to be vegan on request

What a wonderful place!

Three of us scoured Happy Cow for a place to eat in Sintra that would meet our timing and location requirements and we settled on A Praca. The meal was so good that we went back for another lunch and ate there twice in our two-and-a-half day visit. The environment is charming (don't let the trays fool you) and it's comforting to have only one choice! We all loved our meal and so did two more people we brought along the second time. You may want to call in advance to find out what's cooking in case you don't eat something on the day's menu -- or just be daring! The little bakery that's in the same space is also delightful and had a delicious vegan brownie cake the day we were there. I highly recommend this restaurant.

A bit disapointed

I had high expectactions but was a bit disapointed when i visited. It had one dish of the day which was a salad, and the vegan option was taking out the cheese (same price tho). The portions were not enough (for me). The quality of the ingredients used was great and the staff was really friendly.

Pros: Quality of ingredients, Friendly staff

Cons: Vegan option is taking out ingredient, same price, Only one dish of the day

Délicieuse cantine végétarienne

Excellent repas. Lors de notre visite, le menu du jour à 10 euros était composé d’une entrée (toast au fromage frais et confit de tomates au thym), d’un plat principal (gâteau aux légumes et une salade de laitue, tomate, chou rouge) puis d’un dessert ( pêche au four et coco) accompagné d’un verre d’eau aux fruits. La cantine est située à 2 minutes du Palacios de Sintra, nous avons aimée mangé au frais devant la cuisine ouverte. Le service (courtois et attentionné) est donné en portuguais, en français, en anglais et en espagnol

Pros: Économique, Frais, Délicieux

Excellent lunch menu.

One of the few vegan options in Sintra. We really enjoyed the food. They have a different vegetarian menu everyday, which sometimes is also vegan. If not, they will make an extra dish which is vegan.
They mostly use seasonal and local products from Sintra and create a pleasant menu out of them.

Pros: Cheap, delicious, big portions

Lovely seasonal food

This place is just a 15 minute walk away from Quinta da Regaleira. It’s a nice restaurant located in an old market building. The ladies here cook great food using only seasonal local grown ingredients! The set menu is vegetarian but is easily adjusted to make it vegan. The almond chocolate tart was delicious!

The food was fantastic! We went on two separate occasions because we could just not get enough. The staff, atmosphere and food were perfect. Would absolutely recommend to all vegans/vegetarians traveling to Sintra!

Chill relaxing spot

Came here with friends before going to the national castle.

The atmosphere was really nice and calm.

They have a daily menu, with soup, starting dish, desert and water for 10€. They advertise ad vegetarian but have vegan dialy option, which is the one I took.

They only work with fresh and local veggies.

I had salad (lettuce, tomato and cucumber), small kind of mini pizza, lentils soup, peach as desert.

Really great staff, very friendly, and speak english!

Pros: vegan menu, good priced, staff friendly, nice room

Loved the place and the people

This place is a lovely find in Sintra given the fact that it is a challenge to find a spot that serves vegetarian- let alone vegan food. It’s a bit hidden in between the other bars but just look out for a black sign on the ground outside with the poster of “A Praca Sintra”.
The people are very, very kind and will most likely ask themselves if you’d like a vegan or a vegetarian menu. If you go for a complete menu, and I reccomend that you do, you get fruit infused water, an appetizer, a warm dinner-like meal of the day, and a bowl of fruit. All fresh. All lovely. You can sit inside or outside. Even though the little terrace seems to be owned by the other bars.
When we were there, they didn’t serve any coffee. But the other places did.

Pros: Complete vegan meal., Only €10., Kind owners.

Cons: Bit hard to find., Quite the climb to get there.

Simple food

Wonderful and simple food. Nice and quiet. Althought nearby Palácio da Vila (Sintra) it is not (yet) overcrowded.

Pros: Vegetarian with vegan options
