If you're ever in Sintra, Portugal, you need to visit Cafe Saudade for breakfast. Great food, amiable service and a chilled out vibe in a cosy, restored building meant we visited every morning for our daily cuppa.

Something to try are the traditional Portuguese sweets - the Queijada De Sintra (€1.3) is a traditional pastry made from fresh cheese, eggs, and cinammon nestled in a crispy crust. If you like egg tarts you'll love these. I enjoyed the Travesseiro (€1.5) more, which sees a sugar dusted, pillow-shaped(Travesseiro means pillow in Portuguese) puff pastry filled with fragrant and sweet almond cream. Both go great with a cup of Saudade Coffee (think Kopi C).

Taste: 3.5/5
