Came by just before 11 on a Monday and beat the line. It does seem to go pretty quick though. There's table seating outdoors but they were all occupied so we ate quickly at the counters watching the workers make the tarts. It was 1.50 euro for a pastel de nata and it paired beautifully with a meia de leite (flat white). The pastel de nata was more custardy and the crust wasn't as flaky as I imagined, but I really enjoyed it! read more

On our portuguese egg tart crawl and this was one of the top contenders. I would say the custard is on the sweeter side and while the crust was still flakey, not as thick. Aesthetics of the place is a cafe you'd love and adore to come into! Lots of locations around Portugal. read more

So one of the several things I had on my to-do list for the trip to Portugal we took in January (my first time in Portugal), was to try absolutely as many places as I could that sold pastel de nata and had been listed in a list as selling what someone considered to be among the best, so I could confirm which ones I *personally* thought were the best. Manteigaria, of course, showed up on a number of lists for both Porto and Lisbon, and with multiple locations in both cities, made it easy for me to check that one off the list - this just happened to be the location I stopped at, but I imagine, given egg tarts are literally the only food item on their menu, that they'd be identical at any location. Verdict: their tarts are *good*, but they aren't the *best*. It definitely felt a bit like the McDonalds of egg tart shops. Great crust, with a filling that was definitely the right consistency (not too floppy or too pudding-like), but was a bit too sweet, not quite eggy enough, and with not quite enough of the flambe'd flavor of the best versions I tried. There was a bit of a line to order, but given the simplicity of their menu, it moved quite quickly; I only had to wait a couple minutes. That said, I could tell, even if it wasn't busy at all, this particular location would feel rather cramped - it's definitely more of a grab-and-go spot. In addition to egg tarts, they do also sell freshly-made lemonade and various coffee drinks, as well as ginja and port, which I assume aren't made in-house. It was rather early in the morning for alcoholic beverages, but I did try their lemonade, which was quite good. read more

Manteigaria - Pastel de nata - Bakeries Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Manteigaria is a charming little shop that delivers one of the most satisfying and authentic pastel de nata experiences you will find in Lisbon. What makes it special is watching the pastries being handmade right in front of you, which adds a level of freshness and craftsmanship that you can actually taste. The service was super fast and friendly. The pastel de nata came out perfectly, with that delicate flaky crust and warm custard that just hits differently when you know it was made moments ago. The espresso was equally impressive, rich and smooth, and the two together make for a simple but near perfect combination. If you are in the area, this is an easy and very satisfying stop.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

In all honesty, Portugal's signature dessert - Pastel de Nata - is good everywhere you find it. Best, perhaps, when fresh from the oven and here at Manteigaria (the most popular pastry chain in town) you'll know exactly when that is because they strike a big gong when a fresh batch emerges. On an e-bike tour of Lisbon's 7 hills we stopped here, at our guide's direction, pretty much right as the gong sounded. Warm, eggy, sweet, flaky crust... nothing one can't enjoy. We sat outside consuming our bounty (with coffee drink accompaniment). It was a quick stop but only because staying longer would've no doubt meant eating more. So back on that e-bike and up another hill, but fortified now with an authentic and satisfying taste of fresh-from-the-oven Pastel de Nata. read more

My first pastel de nata In Portugal and by far my favorite one!! There was a line for the place out the door, but it went super quickly. They staff is super quick and efficient with getting people in and out. I just got one to taste and it was absolutely delicious! The crust was flaky and soft with a bit of a crunch to it and the filling was sweet but not overly sweet. It was the perfect bite and I finished it within 3 bites. They do have some outdoor seating tables covered, which is nice. There are plenty of locations throughout Lisbon and I believe Portugal. Check it out you won't regret it! read more

Oh no. Am I the only one who doesn't like the pastel de nata custard tarts this restaurant is so famous for? The crust was super flaky and the tart was nice and warm out of the oven, but I didn't like the flavor of the custard. I did forget to add cinnamon to the top, but I don't think it would have helped me personally. The woman who stood next to me at the counter had a nearly orgasmic experience next to me, so it's obvious that my taste buds are apparently off. I loved the patience of the server, who got confused when I told her I wanted to eat in but wanted to take water to go. Note to self...Portuguese folks want to have their "to go" as "takeaway." What I also didn't know was that there was no place to sit!! I scooted down the counter just like all the other folks to watch the bakers prep the next gozillion pastries for the day. That was interesting. Then, I didn't know how to bus my dishes. I just left them on the counter like all the other folks and went away. I wouldn't skip going because of my personal taste buds, though. Enjoy it for yourself and let me know if you have a different opinion than I did! read more

A really good spot to check out the famous Portugal pastries! Not as famous as the one in Belem but I did get the Belem ones on Uber Eats and they were good as well - however, if you can't make the trip, I'd choose this as the spot to try them! read more

Manteigaria was the second tart shop that we went to in Lisbon. We bookmarked all its locations, but we were able to go to the Bairro Alto one only. There was no line that night so we were able to be served immediately. Just like what we did at Pastéis de Belém, we bought a six-pack to-go but tried a couple tarts right off the gate. We loved the flakier crust and the smoother filling. It was also less sweet than the other ones we have tried. We managed to try a few other Portuguese tart places and Manteigaria was our favorite. We hope to make it back here someday. read more

Okay, so I realize this is the most popular pastry chain in Portugal but it's for good reason. I heard someone say this is their favorite pastel de nata even after visiting Portugal multiple times and at first, I didn't believe her. But after trying a few others around town, this was by far my favorite. The crust is perfectly flakey with layers and layers of thin pastry. The filling is sweet and creamy like a creme brulee. It's even better if you can manage to snag a warm one. It was absolutely delicious and everything I had hoped for from this classic Portuguese pastry. It lives up to the hype! Even if there is a line, it moves fast. The interior is your typical pastry shop. They also have coffee and espresso. read more

Can get a little hot standing in line... What Pasteis de nata ofcourse! I went in the afternoon so I had to stay away from caffeine but it would've been the perfect pairing for me. This was my first bite of a pasteis in portugal! I thought it was great. I enjoy the outer pastry shell and also the stuffing (?). I also had the lemonade they had, this was more on the sweet side for me. I should've gone with a coffee Environment It is a fairly small location. most people buy takeout. There is a standing bar area inside and this can fit a good amount of people to just eat a couple of eggtarts and leave. Oh, and to watch them getting made, quite impressive. Niceness of the staff In busy places - there isn't much interactions. But despite there being a line, they are all very patient and I was able to get my pasteis! Dollar It was around 1.2Eu for one Yes/No Yes I would buy here again, and would recommend! read more

One of the top pasteis de nata in Lisbon. It is worth the visit to try the dessert when visiting the city. This place has a seating outside and a quick standup service. The service is quick and they give you a fresh tart right away. They make it in house and always fresh since many people order so the turnover is fast. The custard was very creamy and crust is flaky. Definitely work going back here again for a second Lisbon visit. read more

Great, friendly service and outdoor seating. This was my favorite pastel de nata in Lisbon. The custard wasn't overly sweet, in my opinion and was a perfect consistency. The pastry is flaky but doesn't fall apart, like others I've had in town. They are served warm, too. You can watch the pastry chefs make them inside. The coffee is decent, as well.

Best pastel de natas of my entire trip and maybe my life. Even better than Pastei de Belem in my opinion.

10/10 best dessert ever! We were in Lisbon for three days, and went to Manteigaria no less than 3 times during our stay. Our breakfast consisted of two of these and a coffee and it was perfect. We had others in the city, and these were definitely more eggy/sweeter/desserty than others but I loved them; they weren't overly flaky either. The price was fair enough per pasteis - I think we got 4 for six euro maybe? I loved the cute little box they came in too! read more

Pastel de nata is a classic Portuguese snack/dessert that's practically synonymous with the cuisine of the country, and it's easy to see why at Manteigaria! This is a famous chain bakery serving up one thing and one thing only: Portuguese egg custard tart pastries, and coffee if you'd like. The cafe itself is located just outside of the quaint city square of Praça Luís de Camões, with an elegant stone exterior and a cozy interior: there's a small area to queue up, and behind the glass windows, you can see the bakers painstakingly and efficiently crafting each tart. At around 4:30pm on a weekend, there was a line out the door to sample the classic confections, but it moves quite quickly - you simply order, pay, and are promptly handed your tarts and/or coffee. Each tart is €1.40 (also note that you can order multiple at a time, but it isn't any cheaper per unit), which I think is actually not bad at all, considering they very well could price gouge if they wanted to. It's the perfect finger food: two to three bites of creamy, custardy goodness encased in flaky puff pastry. The custard itself isn't too dense, and much softer than the Hong Kong egg tarts that I'm used to - it's almost like a French creme brulee, especially with the slightly crackly burnt-sugar top that gives the tarts their signature coffee-colored spots, The flaky pastry is buttery and rich with the perfect texture, serving to encase the decadent filling and holding its own structurally. Paired with a hearty Americano, this is a lovely small breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up that I will happily return to again and again - I can highly recommend Manteigaria as one of the best (if not the best) pastel de nata bakeries in the city! read more

This place was recommended to me. To get the Patel de nata. I was like ok but these are literally everyone in Portugal. What makes this place better than anywhere else. They're €.80 at continente and they taste like their price. It's buds a couple and could not for the life of me figure out why people liked them so much. Until I went to manteigaria. Thr Patel de nata were creamy and amazing. If you're in Portugal please don't pass by without stopping to get some. You won't regret it. read more

My wife and i were in Lisbon for a week and these custard pies are all over the place. The same day we took a train out of town to try the first ones of these custards. They are super tasty pastry cups filled with a sweet custard. Then you put cinnamon and sugar. Manteigaria was right around the corner from our hotel, so we tried one from here. I liked this one more! Stiffer custard and not as messy. You also get to see the workers making them, there are hundreds of the little tarts everywhere. Very cool. I didn't add the sugar and cinnamon before, big mistake, they are a huge edition. They are cheap and GOOD! read more

I have 3 places for the best Pastel de Natas bookmarked. This is my firs stop because it is near where I am staying. Believe me when I say after one bite, you will slap the counter like Meg Ryan. Love that it wasn't too sweet and the flaky crust was perfect. It was right out of the oven and piping hot. You can sprinkle some cinnamon powder that is available on the counter. We also had the hot chocolate and it was another OMG moment. Yeah, I might be stopping by every night before heading back to my suite. Service was super friendly. I already want another one as I am writing this review. read more

When traveling to Portugal we had to try Pasteis de We visited Manteigaria - Fábrica de Pastéis de Nata during our time in Lisbon and were genuinely impressed. The pastry shell stood out immediately -- properly flaky and light, with just enough crispness to give it structure without being hard or dense. It's the kind of texture that's harder to achieve than it looks, and they get it just right. The custard was smooth and well-balanced, with a gentle warmth of cinnamon that complemented the filling beautifully. Sweet, but not cloyingly so -- just the right touch to make each bite feel indulgent without being overwhelming. The caramelised top added a lovely depth that tied it all together. A wonderful spot that delivers on quality. We'd recommend it to anyone visiting Lisbon -- well worth seeking out. If you're pressed for time or can't get to Pastéis de Belém as it's farther out from Lisbon don't worry. You're not missing much. The Pasteis de nata are much better here. read more

In the heart of Lisbon's city center, Manteigaria feels like a pause in the middle of all the bustle. The pastel de nata was served warm, with a flaky crust and creamy filling that lived up to its reputation. Service was quick, and though we stopped by mid-day when the streets were packed, there was no line. It is a bit more expensive than other bakeries, but that comes with its name and popularity. A sweet stop, simple yet memorable, before stepping back into the rhythm of the city. read more

These pasteis de nata are the best custard tarts I have ever tried in my life. We came back every day to eat them when we were visiting Lisbon. They are the perfect consistency--so creamy and delicious but not too sweet. I dream about the day I can go back to Lisbon and eat them again. I tried these for the first time a year ago and I'm still chasing that high but no other custard tart has ever come close :( I would go back to Lisbon JUST to eat pasteis de nata from here again. read more

Whelp...I'm officially hooked on pastei de nata. Manteigaria is well-known as one of Lisbon's most popular fabrica de nata shops, and for good reason -- they've truly mastered the art of creating the most incredible pastei de nata, with a perfectly creamy, custardy center, delightfully bruleed top, and the most incredible, flaky crust. They do run a little bit sweet compared to most other Portuguese shops, but it's still one of the most incredible pastries you'll ever have. And, when paired with a nice bitter espresso, it's perfect. As you walk through the streets of Baixa, you'll be lured in by the incredible scent of pastei de nata baking away. Eventually, the sweet, buttery fragrance will lead you to this small, but often crowded shop, where you'll have the joy of seeing a giant pastry case of exclusively pastei de nata, as well as a window into their back kitchen -- if you're lucky, you'll even get to see the magic come together as they whip up a new batch! They have a narrow counter along the window into their kitchen, where you can stand and enjoy your pastries and coffee. However, there isn't any seating, so most people will only stick around for at most ~15 minutes. read more

Hands down one of my favorite pastel de nata in Lisbon. The pastel de nata was served warm, the crust was crispy, the custard was creamy and perfectly flavored. 11/10. When I arrived at Manteigaria the line was quite long, but the line moves pretty fast. Don't be discouraged if the line is long, the pastel de nata's are well worth it. The service was great and staff were friendly and polite. The staff was open to sharing their favorite type of pastel de nata. You have the option of eating them there or having them pack the pastel de nata's in an adorable to go box. I would recommend going to Manteigaria in the morning to avoid the long lines. Can't wait to visit Menteigaria next time I am in Lisbon. read more
