This is probably more a 3-star, but with so so so many places serving up the Portuguese Egg Tarts…read more(Pastel de Nata), the tarts here simply pale in comparison, and the egg tarts are what their claim to fame is supposedly for. Oddly, the flakiness was inconsistent, as parts were flaky and parts were not. Also, the custard seemed as it had been sitting out for a while. It hadn't gone bad, but just didn't taste super fresh. When you've had ones that are super fresh, you can taste the difference right off the bat. I was attracted to Casa das Tortas mainly because there was a huge sign saying that they were celebrating their 125th year in business. I thought, wow, with 125 years under their belt, this place should be great. Alas, it wasn't, in any way. Not a particularly pleasant place to sit, and nothing special about the service. I should've known better when I didn't see any lines, or barely any people inside. We've been burned before in Barcelona, and even at home, when we've selected places just because they've been around forever. Old doesn't necessarily mean great or even good in any way. Sometimes it just means just old, in every way. Save your time, money and calories and head over to nearby Fabrica da Nata instead, where I saw lots of peoples and a nice little line, which moved very quickly. Most importantly, at Fabrica da Nata is where I had my best Portuguese Egg Tart, to date. I

Our guide was pleased that we tried something 'different' because she said most people just go with something 'safe'.

Padaria Ribeiro is a bakery/café with origins from 1878. Same as some of the other reviews…read morementioned, I came here because Rick Steves guidebook included this shop in his walking tour. Looking from the window outside, I spotted familiar savory pastries. I suspected correctly that they would be served room temperature direct from the display case. (They don't offer warming serves of prepared pastries.) At the counter, the cashier spoke perfect English. I asked her about favorites of savory pastries. We bought pastries of beef, chicken, 2x shrimps (her favorite), and 2x cod fish (traditional Portuguese recipe). For the why-not of it, we also got a full-size pastel de nata and a mini size. These are packed in takeaway package trays and paper wrapped. To avoid the crowds at the outside tables, we walked to a plaza around the corner and enjoyed them while people watching and looking at the octagonal 4 lions fountain called Fonte dos Leões. Perhaps because we are familiar with these types of pastries, we find the flavors subtly enjoyable. They don't have big chunks of beef or chicken or shrimps inside (American style). They contain finely chopped and well-seasoned fillings inside a potato pastry shell or a flaky pastry shell (for the beef). The potato pastry shell is less common in the US (except maybe Porto in Los Angeles area). In any case, we enjoyed our food overall and thought the prices are reasonable. These would be 5 stars if they warmed them up.
