Very tasty and filling breakfast

We were staying in the nearby/linked Chalet Saudade so breakfast came provided here. Great veggie breakfast (could easily be made vegan) and they also can do gluten free. Lovely staff.

Pros: Tasty guacamole and also chick pea pate, Lovely staff, Chilled atmosphere (though a busy cafe)

Cute cafe in Sintra

A nice cafe near the Sintra train station. Serves some vegan options for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Can get very busy. Minus one star for the worst latte I had in Portugal.

Cons: The latte was absolutely horrible.

If you are hungry

Nice service, nice location. It's also easy to get there as it is directly at the Sintra station. Take the sandwich instead of the salad. The salad has only Hummus on top and no dressing. So it was a bit dry. The sandwich was good. They had no vegan cake option when we were there.

Hey! A quick observation... The deserts are not vegan. The cake has eggs!

Delicious vegan salad, happy for the options

We were traveling with family who are not vegan so I'm always grateful to stumble into a place with 1-2 vegan options! This cafe was so cute, we sat outside in the garden area and it really set the mood for Sintra. The vegan salad was beautifully presented and delicious with mashed chickpeas! My husband had the vegan sandwich which he really liked. They also had oat/soy milk for coffee. Next time I want to try the vegan cake 😋

Pros: Limited but delicious vegan options!

Not many options but delicious!

Not entirely vegan nor vegetarian. For breakfast I had a soy milk capuccino, a freshly squeezed orange juice and a delicious filling hummus tomato arugula gluten free sandwich. The staff was very nice and the place is super cozy and sweet. The prices are not super cheap but it was worth it.

Good breakfast, long waiting times

Had nice vegan sandwiches. Take the warm version though, it's better. Also nice cakes that are not vegan. Had to wait very long. That's a minus.

Great for Vegetarians and meat eaters

Really delicious food, but no real vegan options. You could remove cheese from a salad or panini, but no plant-based protein options.

Pros: Delicious food, Good for vegetarians , Good for meat eaters

Cons: No true vegan options

Gave me cheese even though I asked for vegan

I specifically asked the waiter about vegan options and he told me about a vegan panini or salad. Would’ve been nice to know that they put cheese on it before I ate a bunch of it. The staff was not very friendly either and suspected that my dad and I were going to dine and dash.

Cons: Put cheese on my “vegan panini”, Unfriendly staff

They make a vegetarian toast withuot cheese, it is only bread and vegetables, but it's good.

Pros: 1 option

Cons: a toast costs 6,9 €

good snack

Cafe very close to the train station. No vegan options on the menu but have vegan panini and vegan sandwich when you ask. The panini was 7€ so very much overpriced but there aren't many vegan options in the area. It had many veggies in it and tasted good and healthy.

Vegan Panini

There aren't a ton of vegan options in Sintra, but we were really happy to find Saudade! This restaurant is just a minute or two from the train station, so you don't have to wander far for great food. I didn't see any vegan options on the menu, but I asked our waitress and she instantly suggested this panini. Everyone working there knew what vegan meant, which is always a bonus. The panini was really yummy, and quite filling. My husband also ordered a coffee with soy milk and some olives.

Pros: great location

Cons: only one vegan main

Delisious vegan optins in Sintra

Very happy with the meal I had in Café Saudade. The soup is delicious and even if not on the menu, you can ask for a vegan toast/sandwich wich may have avocado or chickpea, depending on the availability. I trust you, you won't be dissapointed!

The staff is very nice and the place itself has a very good vibe.

Pros: Delicious vegan options, nice vibe, frendly staff

Cons: over-priced

average experience

Saudade is situated few metres from the train station in Sintra. I had a vegan sandwich that wasnt listed on the menu but I asked for it. It was quite tasty but too small for me. I also had cafe latte with soy milk. It was too hot and not very tasty.
Overall, as it is maybe only veg-friendly place in Sintra, I would suggest you to go there for a little pick-me-up but dont expect anything more.

Nice Lunch!

This place is great - reasonably priced and a few vegan options! The staff were very helpful, their soups are general vegan (they change each day), they make a delicious vegan sandwich (either toasted or fresh) and also a vegan salad.
