Man, we tried so many different pastel de nata from so many bakeries on our trip to Portugal, I'm still catching up on all the review drafts I wrote notes into - I'd totally forgotten about this one, from the penultimate day of our trip. One of my sub-goals of that trip was trying basically as many pastel de nata as I possibly could, so seeing a place on our way up to the castle by foot (just after the free elevator), obviously I had to stop and try theirs. By this point I'd tried a whole bunch already, so I can say, out of all of them, the *crust* was really good, possibly among the best I'd had. Perfectly flaky, crispy, flavorful crust, inside of which was totally disappointing filling, a filling that was mostly sugary rather than eggy, and was quite drippy once you start eating it. I can't speak to any of their other pastries, though, we were just here to taste-test all the pastel de nata we could find. :D (If I were back in the area, I'd totally come back to try some of their other, more interesting things.) read more

This is at the top near the Castle. Nice stopping place to get some ice cream and connect to WIFI if needed. We got coffee ice cream. The coffee ice cream was very light in coffee flavor but it was very good and refreshing. The cone was crunchy. The employees are very nice and speak perfect English. read more

THE BIG: Pretty good pastry cafe shop by castelo de sao jorge. Long restaurant space with a big pastry selection. Street Parking is available if you can find it. THE BLACK AND WHITE: We came here after our long walk (hike) to the castle. Fortunately this pastry shop has some great reviews on the desserts. We were still craving pastel de natas and got one here. TBH, very good pastel de natas but the pasteis de belem is much better IMO. We also got the porto croissant, which is more bready than filo material. It had a decent glaze on top that added a nice flavor profile. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, for the two pastries, the damage done was 3.4 euros. Good pastry shop to stop after wandering the castelo de sao jorge. read more

We stopped by to try their pastel de nata. They were very speedy and there wasn't a line when I came. They took Apple Pay. The inside is charming and it's quite close to the castle. The pastel de nata was quite good - not quite as good as the OG at Pasteis de Belem but definitely one of my favorites I had in Lisboa! read more

A cute little cafe by the castelo. There's a few tables and a long high top inside. The Pastel de Nata is more creamy and sweet thank eggy. Not my favorite, but still pretty good. I also tried the port soaked croissant- that's was an experience. Lots of sandwiches and other desserts to try! read more

I had this place on my list from the start but then someone said a local recommended it too so I had to add it to my itinerary I came on a day I was mainly cafe hopping or sitting at parks and site seeing The line was out the door but not too long Ordered a pastel, sausage pastry, and fresh OJ Went upstairs to the sitting room area and got a spot right next to the window which was perfect for people watching The pastel was great but not one of my favorites. The OJ was absolutely delicious along with the sausage pastry! Really enjoyed that one. Definitely give it a try to compare to other pastel spots read more

Looked good from the outside. Got a sandwich, the pastel de nata and a coffee, but there was nothing memorable.

Good pastry stop before the castle but nothing special , they claim their pastel de natas is the best which is not the case, the montagero shop is the best. I tried a bunch of different desserts but nothing stood out, even the coffee was average. They have seating upstairs and a lot of drink options . The drunk pear was interesting and the mango sorbet was great. The cheesecake was very light and not too sweet read more

Our favorite of all the bakeries and coffee shops we went to. The service was great, and the place has great views of the surrounding streets near the castle. The food and coffee were incredible! - The Port wine croissant is one of the best pastries I've ever had, and I could eat one every single day. - The pastel de natas were really good as well and I'd recommend getting a few You have to come and get some pastries from this place! read more

We really enjoyed starting the morning by going to this pasteleria. Beautiful upstairs, relaxing, fantastic pastries and coffee, clean, and very welcoming service. The pasteis de nata are phenomenal, as is the coffee and the other pastries. Highly recommend! read more

We came at around 10:00am for breakfast. We had the ham and cheese croissant, pasteis de nata and cappuccinos. There was not much seating downstairs but there was lots of seating upstairs. The ham and cheese croissant was my favourite. It was flaky - the cheese was savoury and had just the right amount of ham in it. They also cut it in half for us which was great. The pasteis de nata was not the best I've had. It was pretty flaky but the custard wasn't creamy enough for me. The cappuccino's were okay - they weren't strong enough but overall did the trick of waking me up As for service - I gave it a 3 as there was no toilet paper in the bathroom and there was no where to put the dirty dishes as the bucket was all full. read more

After hearing lots of great reviews of Pastelaria Santo Antonio, my wife and I decided to pay them a visit. As we were in Lisbon, my wife and I were going to a few bakeries to try which had the best Natas. We ended up ordering one to share from here, and thinking back now, I wish we had ordered more. The Natas were very fresh and warm. The custard filling had a very nice taste and the outside was nice and flaky. The interior of the shop was nice and cozy. The servers were also very kind. It was raining outside so they offered us a complimentary warm drink. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some natas!! read more

This has been the best bakery we have visited during our trip! If you are visiting the famous Castelo S. Jorge, this is right on your way! Like 2 block priors arriving at the castle entrance. All their baked goods looked amazing so I got the Mozzarella and Tomato Baguette with Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice, and my boyfriend got the Ham and Cheese Croissant, a coffee, and Orange Juice too. Now, this place has won the best Pastel de Nata in Lisbon in 2019, so for sure we added that to our order. My baguette was delicious! Cheese, tomato, and the baguette itself tasted so fresh and soft. My boyfriend devoured his croissant sandwich and he loved it! The drinks were so good too and the Pastel de Nata at the end was delicious! The perfect sugar dose, the dough was crispy and the feeling was creamy but with a good consistency. Service is quick since you order upfront and they will give you the tray right there. They have extra seating on the second floor and the place is clean and modern looking. read more

Egg and custard tarts are a work of art, and Santo Antonio takes the pastries like a renaissance painting. My Asian bias is showing, but I normally opt for Chinese egg tarts. But this takes the cake (or carb... what are euphemisms?). Perhaps there's a colonial connection somewhere. read more

On a quest for the best Pastel De Nata (Portuguese Tart), I discovered that Pastelaria Santa Antonio received an award in 2019. Having tasted several tarts here and in the states, I can attest that each bakery's version is delicious and possesses its own unique charm. The service was professional, and the transaction was swift. There is seating on the same level if the endless hills were a big workout for you. There is also setting up the stairs, along with toilets and an area where you can witness the entire process of how the tart is made. The ambiance was quiet which was prefec Overall, I would consider returning in the future. It is a short walk from the castle. read more

On our way down from the castle, we stopped in for their award winning egg tart. They were voted the best egg tart in 2019. I liked it but it wasn't my favorite. I prefer a more eggy tasted that is a little less sweat. The staff here is friendly they have a decent amount of seats (bar seating in the ground floor and more tables on the second). They are a small chain with a few locations. read more

The custard tarts here were quite good. The custard itself was a bit too sweet (vs Belém) but not overwhelming. Would've preferred the crust to be a bit flakier. This was our favorite tart in the old town area though. There was only a small line at 11ish in the morning. Ample seating upstairs. 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

During our trip earlier this year before covid-19, we stopped by because it was super close to our Airbnb. Pastel de natas - a little sweeter than other pastel de natas I had. I didn't want to sprinkle cinnamon and powder sugar to it as it was already sweet. Caracol Frutos Secos - a pastry with a swirl & raisins. Wasn't super sweet and honestly a bit bland. It was flakey but super sticky. Napolitana - a chocolate filled croissant like pastry topped with powdered sugar. It was flakey but super sweet because there was a lot of chocolate inside. They have a minimum when using a credit card so we bought 2 pastel de natas, caracol frutos secos, and the napolitana. Napolitana - chocolate croissant like pastry with powdered sugar. Super sweet! There's a lot of chocolate inside! Would recommend trying their pastel de natas if you like them on the sweeter side. read more

Stumbled upon this place during my time in Lisbon. For me, this was one of the best pasteis de nata that I tried during my time in Portugal. Loved seeing how they were made in the large window/display. They were 1,15 euros per pasteis, or deliciousness I should say. You can also find ice cream to the left side of the counter. My friends indulged in something cooler than I did during our visit because of the heat, but I was on a mission to try all the custard tarts in my way. You can't beat the freshness and richness of the pasteis, they're so addicting! read more

As one of the many nata joints I've stopped by, Pastelaria Santa Antonio didn't stand out. A little too sweet and liquidy.

We stopped here for coffee and pastries while walking the steep hill to Castelo Sao Jorge. It's also a great place for a bathroom break since the bathrooms are clean. Just purchase something and you can utilize the bathrooms without a door code. Order and prepay at the counter and your completed order will be fulfilled a few feet down the counter. Service was friendly and and attentive however staff speaks limited English so speak slow or better yet practice your Portuguese!! The upper dining area was filled with light and clean. The pastel de Nata egg custard pastries were fresh and delicious! We suggest to walk up the staircase and sit upstairs for a great view of the historic buildings and streetscape. We recommend this restaurant!! read more

So far I have stopped at multiple shops to get pastel de Nata. Santo António was our first stop and favorite stop. Theirs had a creamy and smooth texture to the custard.

We stopped by here as part of a free walking tour and our tour guide said they were the winner of the 2019 pasteis de nata contest so it's highly recommended! Food/Drink: Their award-winning pasteis de nata was truly worth the hike into the Alfama district. Our tour guide said that out of all the imitation pasteis de belem found in Lisbon, this one comes closest to the original recipe! Besides their tarts, they also sell a variety of other Portuguese pastries. Price: Like most pasteis de natas, they are very affordable at only 1 euro each. Atmosphere: A small shop that you just grab and go, with limited counter seating. read more

Best in the neighborhood! Treat yourself after that long walk up the hill and before going on to the castle. If you time it right, you can watch the chef(s) preparing your tasty pastry. There isn't much room inside, just a line of stools along one wall. There is nothing outside so take it to go and enjoy it later up on the castle walls. Oh, and they have ice cream! read more
