Sintra Restaurant
1024 NW Bond St, Bend, OR
Crema's Take
“Sintra brings a slice of Portugal to Bend with warmly spiced breakfast dishes like their beloved Pastel de Nata and creative Portuguese Benedict, drawing a steady crowd of locals who linger over leisurely morning meals in a light, welcoming atmosphere. While their Portuguese specialties shine brightest, the kitchen occasionally stumbles with execution on dishes that taste good but lack the seasoning punch they deserve. This is the kind of neighborhood spot where you'll find families settled in for hours, sipping traditional drinks and soaking in genuine hospitality.”

Having visited Portugal last summer, we we were thrilled to find a local restaurant with a Portuguese flair. And we've missed our daily Pastel de nata! Great food and very nice ambience. While this restaurant was not on people's list of top breakfasts, that is a serious mistake. Tge breakfast is excellent. Don't leave Bend without stopping here. Even just fir tge dessert!
My husband and I both got the Portuguese Benedict. It tasted good but was kinda disappointing. We both thought it lacked salt and the chipotle hollandaise was missing something. It was good despite that. But for the price we paid it wasn’t worth it to us. If they had table service it would have been more worth the price. (You order at the counter and they bring you your meal). I think this place would benefit much if they touch up their food a little and started providing table side service. It would make for a more welcoming environment and more of a restaurant experience.
SINTRA is my absolute favorite breakfast spot - and in my top 5 for ANY meal - in Bend. The food is terrific, creative yet approachable. The service is wonderful and engaging. The vibe is light and easy. There is often a wait, but it moves quickly and in my opinion totally worth it. I cannot imagine how you could be disappointed. I hope you enjoy!
Breakfast lovers, this is a place you want to try! The Portuguese Benedict and Linguica Scramble were portioned well and full of flavor! Though the main dish was hot and fresh, the potatoes were well cooked but served cold/barely warm... that's the only reason 4 stars were given rather than 5 on food. We'll be back!! 😜.
Came for the Cuban Sandwich. Was very disappointed. No flavor, came with chips. For the price was a waste. Also had the Prego that was like eating a onion cheese sandwich with next to no meat that had no flavor. When ordering the guy was not friendly an when asked about food he just said it's on the menu. Didn't seem to either know the food or didn't want to talk.highly don't recommend lunch here.
