Casa do Luis

Fantastic stop in our journey through Sintra. I can’t rave enough about the food and the service. The space was small, cozy and very inviting. To start we had the fresh olives, ham, local cheeses and one from Azores that had a spicy bite which was to die for. Bread was also on the table which paired well with our starters. Our guide planned for us to have the Seabass as our main entrée and it was hands down one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. The Seabass was brought to our table by Luis, played with peeled boiled potatoes, fresh green beans and a local vegetable served with fish that I can only describe closely to brocollini back home. Luis quickly deboned the fish for us, playing this beautifully delicious filets of Seabass. Unbelievably delicious! As we dug into our meal, we experienced a quiet moment that really only happens when amazing food is given. With our mouths full and bellies becoming very happy, Luis reappears with hot olive oil with garlic and starts to drizzle it over our meal… talk about the icing on the cake! Man, I knew Portugal had great olive oil but this was out of this world. I quickly grabbed my bread and began dipping it in the olive oil which is magic. The house red wine was also very good. I couldn’t have been happier with the meal or the service. Casa do Luis is definitely a place and a meal we will remember!

Authentic Portuguese meal with fresh caught fish (seabass), cheese, meat, bread, and olives. Couldn’t have gotten any better.
