Lovely restaurant with a great terrace - Edit
We had the vegetarian naked beetroot burgers (swapped couscous for chips). The terrace is lovely and the food was very filling.

Fresh and affordable -5* - Edit
Raiz has a lovely terrace, with inside seating too, a few minutes from the centre of Sintra. They don't break for lunch, which is also handy if you've just come down from exploring the palaces.
Read moreWe had the: tofu sandwich, which was lovely and flavourful with fried tofu; tempeh salad, well seasoned with quinoa and vegetables; and a healthy portion of chips and guacamole.
Add fresh orange juice, water, and a jug of sangria for under €45.
As others have said, it's annoying that you can't give somewhere 5* if they're not vegetarian. This was some of the nicest fresh food we've eaten in Lisbon and the surrounding area.
Pros: Close to centre , Nice atmosphere, Friendly staff
Cons: Limited vegan options, Not accessible (flight of stairs down)

Really Five Stars! - Edit
My wife and I ate at Raíz last night and it was amazing. Happy Cow doesn't allow five stars for restaurants that aren't totally vegetarian or vegan. Well on our trips around Portugal we have eaten at many fully vegetarian and vegan restaurants and the meals we had last night totally met or exceeded any we have had at any five star restaurants. The staff are great and you will not be disappointed!
Read morePros: Food is amazing!, Staff are fantastic!, Very cool vibe!

5 🌟 want to leave 5* but happy cow won't let me!!! - Edit
I've been in Lisbon for 3 weeks and tried all of the vegan places here. Went on a day trip to sintra expecting to be eating chips all day. Found this place and was BLOWN AWAY. So so so good, the Asian Tempeh salad was incredible. Service amazing, price good. Vegan options limited but the food was better than anywhere in Lisbon.
