Pastel de nata
Chloe C.

The best pastel de nata we had during our time in Lisbon!! They are so warm, fresh, and flaky deliciousness that I have been dreaming about since I left. Always long lines, but they move super quickly!!

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.

Lots of places feature Pastel de Nata, Portugal's signature sweet.  This chain makes the very good and very fresh.

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.

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!

Best egg tart in Lisbon! Some locations only take card payment (Market) but otherwise good price for the tart. Simple shop and tasty. They offer cinnamon powder but I find that it tastes better without it.

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.

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.

Best pastel de natas of my entire trip and maybe my life. Even better than Pastei de Belem in my opinion. This location does it better than the Manteigaria next to Pastei de Belem (unfortunate that there is inconsistency between stores). Staff were friendly and helpful--giving us instructions on how to best enjoy. The standing bar layout is interesting and I really liked the open kitchen concept!!

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!

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.

Very cool dessert spot in n the Portuguese landscape So many gourmet little and big food havens here in this part of Europe. Go visit here and enjoy the hand made treats you can watch them make and bake! Yum

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. The few times I've been here, I've had a great experience.

Holly C.

This was one of my favorite pastel de nata in the city. It was served warm, the crust was crisp and flaky, the custard was silky, creamy and luscious, yet not overly sweet. I had my husband pick them up so unfortunately, I did not experience the service so cannot comment on it but will update the review if I do end up returning again.

This was the best, family run, local restaurant we've encounter on our 3 week honeymoon trip. The…read moreowners, Cristina and Antonio, went above and beyond in serving us. From the moment we were seated, Cristina took her time in welcoming us and explaining every item on the menu. We got extremely lucky in beating the dinner rush and submitting our orders in. The subsequent groups who came in were simply turned away or quoted at least an hr wait. Even with full house, our foods came in a reasonable time. With her recommendation, we went with seafood bake for 2 and BBQ pork in 4 diff cuts (we wanted to try a little bit of everything). The seafood bake was beyond amazing - there were literally 4 diff types of WHOLE fish (cod, salmon, bass?, can't tell the last one), along with dozen of fresh shrimp with shells still on and clams! The pot felt bottomless with seafood. It took us literally an hr just to power through this dish. The seafood bake's sauce was so yummy that my husband started throwing in his side potato to soak up the flavor. Towards the end, he straight up spooned and drank it. The bbq pork was so juicy and flavorful! My husband really enjoyed the bacon cut - fatty yet crispy. The side salad was so refreshing with its light, house made dressing. Honestly, we couldn't be any happier with our dinner! Too bad we were so stuffed that we didn't get to try their desserts. What an incredible meal! Amazing food and heartwarming service - Cristina even took the time to come by our table to check and chat with us during dinner rush - we couldn't ask for more. Price was a steal especially for how much food we got - around 50 Euros. Would definitely return if we ever revisit Lisbon!

After wandering around -- really and truly -- the streets of Lisbon looking for a restaurant that…read morehad vegetarian options or non-shellfish or cod fish options, we landed at Madragoa Cafe. We were peeking at the menu outside when the owner, Christina, ushered us in and assured us she'd prepare something to our liking. She did not disappoint. We each started with a drink; my colleague had a beer and I had a red wine. We shared a cheese appetizer and olive appetizer. The cheese was very...fragrant?...but seriously delicious and creamy. It was served with a side of honey which we both drizzled on our bread with each (admittedly three total for each of us) serving. For our mains, we had fish. I had the salmon, served with stewed vegetables and salad. He had the cod entree. We were both initiated into the clean-plate club, with very little left for rinsing. For dessert we tried the carob mousse (my favorite!) and the chocolate cake (delicious, but the mousse takes the cake -- no pun intended). The waiter, Antonio, was an absolute gem, and treated us to a digestif following our dessert. Having already had two glasses of wine, I should have passed on the digestif, but when in Lisbon, you do as Antonio tells you. I had the most fantastic evening with Christina and her crew, and upon future visits to Lisbon I will make it a must to visit again.

TL;DR - A chain serving good food, but this branch is special…read more We didn't actually realise this was part of a chain when we walked in because it looked like a high end deli. The food and drinks were reasonably priced and were very good, and the staff spoke perfect English. There's quite a bit of seating in the rear, including an outdoor courtyard. We had a couple of pastries, both filled with Nutella and one also filled with strawberries. We had freshly squeezed orange juice too - a perfect breakfast to set us up for a day of sightseeing. This is part of a chain, but the design and layout of this branch make it a cut above. LGBT+ friendly too, with a progress flag clearly posted in the window. There are toilets for customers located in the basement.

A perfect spot for breakfast. We love going where the locals go to see how they start their days…read more It's a two minute walk from our hotel. We had the egg custard, freshly squeezed OJ , fresh fruit, Greek yogurt with granola and cafe au lait. We watched the locals eat ham and cheese, egg custard and espresso. The wait staff is friendly. You take a ticket (choose from the to go or the eat in). When your number is called you place your order, take your food and sit anywhere. There is an outside area and two rooms for dining in. It was so good we had breakfast here every morning.
