Named after the town of Sintra in Portugal, Café Sintra specializes in delicious breakfast and lunch dishes that pays tribute to Portuguese cuisine. The warm atmosphere and the friendly service makes Cafe Sintra the perfect place for gatherings and a nice stop for a good espresso drink and homemade pastries.

Portuguese cuisine is notable for its bold use of herbs and spices. The ever-popular Portuguese sausage linguiça combines mild seasonings such as garlic, onions, salt, oregano and paprika.

Manuel dos Santos, owner of Café Sintra in downtown Bend, named the restaurant after his hometown in Portugal, near Lisbon.
