Fábrica da Nata focuses on doing one thing extremely well: Portuguese custard tarts. The pastéis de nata are served fresh and warm, with the signature caramelized top that gives way to a smooth, creamy custard center. The custard strikes a great balance -- rich and eggy but not overly sweet. The pastry shell is where these really shine: thin layers of laminated dough baked until they're deeply golden and crisp. The result is that perfect textural contrast: crackly pastry on the outside and silky custard inside. Like most Portuguese pastry shops, the setup is straightforward. You order at the counter, the service is quick, and the focus is on getting the tarts to you while they're still warm from the oven. Cinnamon and powdered sugar are available to sprinkle on top, which adds a nice extra layer of flavour. Lisbon has many places competing for the title of best pastel de nata, but Fábrica da Nata holds its own. The quality is consistent, the tarts are fresh, and it's an easy stop whether you're looking for a quick snack or a traditional Portuguese pastry with coffee. read more

This was our first stop for natas after arriving in Lisbon. Last time we ate upstairs with seats overlooking the street but this visit we took them to go since we wanted to get back to our hotel due to the weather. Service was quick and both packed together in a paper sack. They were nice and warm. We had to remove them to add our cinnamon and powdered sugar in the store so that was one of the drawbacks of ordering to go. Luckily our hotel was just minutes away and the natas were still warm when we got back. Overall our mouths enjoyed the flaky, crunchy crust and creamy texture of the egg tart but it seemed bit too soft this time. Still in our top 3 places to grab pasteis de nata in Portugal. read more

I love this store! We went to the one in Sintra every day so I could get a snack and a coffee as well as a delicious yogurt parfait to go. We stopped in here as soon as I saw it and got an iced vanilla macchiato and ham and cheese croissant. This one is larger than the one in Sintra and they have a gorgeous and clean upstairs seating area with a beautiful view of the Main Street. They have more than just coffee and sweets - there are plenty of sandwiches and the prices are exceptionally low (in comparison to the same in America). I thought some of their value meal sets were a steal. read more

I tried many pastel de Nata places and this one was my favorite! Nestled in downtown Lisbon, these came out hot and topped with cinnamon (a must in my opinion). It is a packed area and people line up for it but it is without a doubt worth it. Plus you are in the heart of downtown and under the lights at night making for a pretty perfect place to enjoy a top tier pastel de Nata. read more

This was our first stop in Lisbon after dropping bags at the hotel and was hard to beat. We got off a red eye needing coffee and a light breakfast and they delivered. Service was fast and friendly downstairs then we took our items upstairs to sit and eat. The pastel de nata was my first and turned out to be the best during the trip. The bacon/cheese quiche cup was amazing, cooked perfectly and the pastry so flaky (same pastry as the pastel) My finance loved his sandwich and the espresso based coffee drinks were good as well. Beautiful space upstairs and we took a peak out of the balcony before we left. Only wish we were in Lisbon long enough to return. read more

Great casual place for fresh sandwiches, juice, and especially the warm pastel de nata-fresh out of the oven with cinnamon, powdered sugar, or ice cream. Deliciousness in a small pastry! Food: Their breads are so fresh they taste like they are just-baked. We liked the chicken or tuna wrap, the veal croquette, and the ham&cheese baguette. The orange juice tastes fresh squeezed, not from frozen concentrate. The sandwiches on croissants are also good. Beer or Sangria also available. The Pastels de Nata are the star of the meal -don't miss ordering at least one. Service: fast, friendly Order and pick up at the counter. Carry out and sit- down tables available. Facility-Clean, cheerful, pretty tile decor. Location : Conveniently located in the hotel and tourist area near Convent Square. read more

4.5/ 5 Very good egg tarts. Would say it is the best we had in downtown area of lisbon. Not overly sweet custard and quite flakey crust.

You can clearly see from that outside that the pastel de natas are freshly baked from the windows in the front. Out of all the pastel de natas in Portugal, I believe Fabrica da Nata have the sweetest one. It tastes more like a creme brulee and the creaminess covers any hints of egg. The tart shell are flakey like a fresh croissant. If anything, this would be the best iteration of any egg tart. There's little tables on the side with cinnamon and powder sugar if you want to sprinkle it on your tarts, and there's also a good amount of outdoor seating. read more

Friendly staff here. I just ordered one nata for here and one to go. I sat upstairs in the tea room to enjoy while people watching from the balcony. I ended up eating my second one I had to go! It was absolutely delicious. read more

I really wanted to like the pastel de natas since I read about all the good reviews and the staff is super friendly. Plus, you can watch the pasteis being made in the window. But sadly, it wasn't my favorite pastel de natas in Lisbon. The crust was flaky and buttery but the custard was way too sweet. There is seating outside and upstairs on the second floor. If you manage to get a seat by the balcony, it's a nice place to people watch. read more

I tried the Pastel de Nata (Portuguese Egg Tart) at Fabrica Da Nata in Lisbon. The egg tart was pretty good, but nothing really stood out compared to other places, so I'd give it 8/10 read more

My first meal in Lisbon and could not think of a better cafe then this one to welcome me to the city Ambience: I love the ambience of this place! It has beautiful chandeliers and a lot of natural lighting that makes this cafe so beautiful with ample seating space. Food: we ordered the pasteis; cod fish, and coffees. Everything was good! I would skip the cod fish though Service: very fast Price: very cheap! read more

Prob my favorite pastel de nata compared to Manteigaria and Pastéis de Belém. Perfectly carmelized, flaky, crispy exterior. Soft, custardy center that's just solid enough not to drip out as you take a bite out of it. Ideal crust to filling ratio. Also not as sweet as some other pastel de nata I tried at a couple other bakeries. Their cod croquettes were pretty good here too, a good mix of fish and potatoes so the exterior was crispy and interior was creamy. They sell other sandwiches and items like avocado toast and a variety of coffee drinks and other beverages too, but the stars of the show are their pastéis! Don't forget to sprinkle a little cinnamon on top! Oh there is both outdoor seating on the street directly outside the storefront and indoor seating upstairs! I didn't have a chance to check what it was like upstairs but the outdoor seating has full waitstaff service available too. read more

This was the last shop I tried for pasteéis de nata. Love that you can view the pastéis being made - the cutting of the dough, the filling of the resulting cups, and seeing the overhead pan return. Very kewl. They have standing only tables inside and seating outside. Pleasant staff and good pastéis de nata. Got there early and got them fresh. Only 4 stars because it wasn't my fave version of pastéis the nata but worth a try. read more

TAKE ME BACK! Hot and fresh tarts. We ate this every single day during our visit. They have set menus with coffee or wine with your tart. Also they have a breakfast tart in the morning if you need a place to early in the morning. They are constantly pumping these out of the oven. Put cinnamon and sugar on top for extra flavour. read more

Was good. Custard is not too sweet and has a lovely flavor. But, I think the custard ratio was a bit overwhelming to the pastey ratio. The pastry was not as flaky and not as many laminated layers as Castor (a 5 min walk away). I think the reason is because the person making it was pressing down too hard on the pastry when filling the tin mold. I ordered 2. read more

Not a big fan of sitting down one price and ordering take out another. They're pasteis de nata is great but if you want to try the full experience without absorbing an excess price for sit down, there's other ones not located in the tourist street and they actually do honor the set meal special to make it more attractive and affordable. read more

Probably my favorite natas of the trip, and believe me I did my best to try them all! Fabrica was just a few blocks from our place and on the busy shopping street of Rua Augusta. They make natas fresh all day - you can watch the baker preparing them while you enjoy your treats. Nothing better than a fresh nata still warm from the oven! I found Fabrica to have the butteriest pastry crust and the nicest filling. It's not overly sweet and is eggier than others - really a nice custard consistency. You can also get sandwiches on fresh bread, fresh squeezed OJ and coffee too. There are standing tables on the main floor and a small seating area upstairs. Prices are pretty much the same as other bakeries and the staff is nice. I only wish I could get these beautiful tarts at home! read more

Custard tarts here were great all rounders. I really liked the pastry (in fact this was my favorite crust of all the tart places including Belém) and the filling was really good too. This restaurant was the grandest of all the tart places that we visited... lots of seating, and bright & airy. Service was friendly too. Also recommending getting a Bica here. FYI here are my rankings of the different spots that I tried: 1. Pasteis de Belem 2. Pastalaria Santo Antonio 3. Fabrica da Nata 4. Manteigaria read more

OK they should be a law against this desert. That is typically Portuguese. You can't stop eating this and it is just crisp beautiful bites of fluffy pastry with the most decadent custard. I don't even have words for this. Just try it. It's that amazing. read more

I got pretty hungry as I was walking around the city and decided to stop in for something to eat. Originally, I was just going to try the pastel de nata, as I've heard it's a must in Lisbon, but decided to grab a sandwich as well. The pastry was delicious as advertised. It had a sweet and salty flavor. Next time I'll have to try it with some cinnamon. The prosciutto sandwich was tasty, but I think the bread could have been a bit softer/fresher. Overall, I'd recommend for some traditional pastries and convenient bites. read more

It's a must to eat at least 2 Portuguese Tarts. This was my breakfast everyday during my trip. 2 tarts, black coffee, and freshly squeezed Orange juice. The line can be extremely long. I just ordered through the machine, and it was ready within a minute. read more

Such a fun experience! Loved the authentic decor, the story behind the bakery, and the delicious, fresh pastries.

So I had a five hour layover in Lisbon (first time in Portugal as well) and I decided that I had to spend that time tasting all the pastel de nata I could get my hands on. This one was hands down my favorite. Super crispy shell with creamy, silky custard filling. It was cooked perfectly! The ham and cheese croissant and latte were fine. The service here was ok. It's in a touristy place so ordering is fine. read more

One of the classic spots to go in Lisbon with a few locations, the packaging is a bit problematic if you want to take them away for a souvenir etc. they are randomly placed into a tube for 6 and are easily moving around. Hope they are not broken when I give them as a gift. The flavor was great, subtle and creamy. Simple ingredients made to perfection. This spot has many menu combo options which some may enjoy. More seating to enjoy it if wanted. There is pastry + coffee or wine options. read more

I tried the pastéis at several places, and the ones at the Fabrica Pastéis de Nata in Restauradores were the absolute best! Superior service with a smile and spoke English. I even went to Belém as everyone was ranting and raving about how those were the best. Not so, and service was rather rude. Same applies for the place at 222 Augusta. Very rude service, asked for a latté and got a watery coffee and nata not great. I strongly recommend the Fabrica where I have gone every day. If you go by metro, it's at the Restauradores exit. Enjoy! read more

Fabrica da Nata probably makes the top 4 of my favorite nata places in Lisbon. The consistency of the custard is great and the crust is crispy. read more

My favorite pastel de nata in the city. It's even better than the original Pastel de Belém.

Great view from the second floor window if you can get the table. Custard tart is well done and the coffee is good.

my favorite nata place in Lisbon! super good when it's freshly baked :) it's good even after you put it in the fridge. It'll last about week! they're very quick to get and you can see how the nata's made in the front! definitely recommend trying one if you're near the area. I think it's even better than the popular pasteis de belem place! read more

Good de Nata. Also have other kinds of bakery. Quick moving line. Speak English. Great!

Excellent Natas, cappuccinos, and ham / cheese toasts. Do not skip this place while you're in Lisboa!

This was our first stop after we left our bags at the hotel. There were five of us this time and three among us hadn't been to the Portugese mainland before - we've all been to Madeira and the Azores many times so we all had some idea of the Portuguese way of living. There's some displeasure travelling with Ryanair as the least paid staff are used to 'police' peoples luggage to ensure it meets the seemingly ever changing miserable hand baggage allowance in the ticket price. I read that an Italian court lately fined Ryanair 3 million quid for false advertising around the baggage swindle - they swindle customers pay. Now I know all the arguments on point to point travel and that it's 'cheap' but it could be cheap and cheerful and not cheap and mean. Anyway making this delightful place our first destination for a light lunch and plan the next few days adventure became a necessity. Lovely ham & cheese filled croissants, freshly squeezed orange juice, a white port, a pastel de nata (or two) and a latte hit the spot. The staff are a friendly bunch, patient with non Portugese speakers but seating is a premium especially if you want to sit outside but hey that's the price of success. This place is near the main train station, across the road in the direction of the Hard Rock Cafe and also accessed from the Restauradores metro station. read more

Actually the port wine really complimented the Nata. I really enjoyed that combination, I usually have an americano with my Nata, but the evening was cool and I wanted something different. Wow I was pleasantly surprise with the blend of the two. They were also serving Sandeman Port which is really good by the way. So I would have to give Fabrica de Nata the slight edge for the port wine accompanying the Nata. read more

Fantastic nata. You will not be sorry. There are few others good one. In fact, they are all good.

Came here our first morning in Lisbon as recommended by our hotel. Wow! Great coffee-traditional espresso plus cappuccino and lattes. But the star is of course the famous custard pastry which is fantastic here. We had the special which was a glass of sweet wine, a cod cake, an espresso and a custard pastry for less than 5 euros. Sitting outside and people watching. What a treat! read more
