Quinta Dos 7 Nomes - Sintra

This place is a hidden treasure. Apart from the main person, Isabel being one of the most sweet, caring and loving persons I have ever met, the quality of things you will find here is unspoken.

I went several times to the shop which was cool. Also the place on its own had a nice vibe. But today I went to the restaurant/cafeteria part of the Quinta. A vegetarian restaurant where the cook admits not knowing how to cook vegetarian food. Dirty tables and long waiting. I would be all right with all this family feeling if the prices were decent. It was not, it seemed like a bad joke that makes me feel abused. Even the lady who handed the bill seemed sorry and kept on justifying. Too bad, the place looked beautiful and people around seemed quite friendly. You'll never see me there anymore.

We found this store via HappyCow (otherwise it would have been hard to find as it is situated out of town with only a little sign near the road indicating its presence). It's a neat little store, yet with a variety of freshly picked vegetables and the garden/fields where the vegetables are harvested is right next to the store (worth a walk through the fields). On some days hand-made bread is sold. Prices for the food are really fair and affordable. You can loosely buy unwrapped olives, garlic, carottes etc. While not vegan, no meat or fish was sold, which is positve. At the time we visited the place, the woman working in the store was very kind and friendly. Updated from previous review on 2017-08-28

It wasn't, it seemed like a bad joke that makes me feel abused. Even the lady who handed the bill seemed regrettable and persisted. Shame, the place looked nice and the people around it seemed pretty friendly. You'll never see me there anymore.
