    I visited early morning looking for a breakfast spot and ordered table service for the sweets and a latte. The food and service was ok. The portion sizes were quite good and filling.

    Can get very busy as this is located on touristy Rua da Augusta but this is the only place I would say to stop at on this road. But they offer so many options and I do love their de nata and the Travesseiros de Sintra here. Both very crispy if that is what you prefer like I do. Note: it may look busy with people standing around, most just looking but you choose what you want from any employee at the counters and they add the totals to a plastic card and hand you the box full of goodies, then you take that card to the cashier off to the side up front for her to scan it , then you pay. Easy in and out. Just make eye contact and tell them what you want. Ps. This review is for the named pastry shop. Not sure why some of the (bad) reviews about this place are for a restaurant. It's only a pastry shop

    This is a very good place to enjoy custard tarts as well as a variety of baked goods. Niki especially enjoyed the sweet rolls with Carmel cream inside.

    Don't remember what we ordered, it was good

    Stopped for a meal while touring. Don't recall what we ordered but it was delicious and different. Therefore we loved it.

    Grilled cod

    The first day we arrived in Lisbon, I could not wait to try grilled sardines. We went to a restaurant near by our hotel and ordered grilled sardines and cuttle fish. The sardines were fishy and had guts in it. After this experience I was hesitant to try the sardines again. Asked a few places if they can removed the guts before grilling them but all of them said they do not clean the sardines before grilling. I came by this place and decided to try the sardines one more time. The server said their sardines are very fresh. Well, I was not disappointed. They tasted very fresh and I enjoyed them very much. My husband also enjoyed his grilled cod. We had excellent meals and had cream custard with little cinnamon sprinkles on top for dessert. Our server was very friendly and attentive.

    Pasteis du Bacalau and what looks like samosas but Portuguese version?

    Casa Brasileira was closed for renovations and they opened only last day in Lisbon. While walking in the market square, I took advantage! They are very busy so he prepared to be patient and wait. I never understood why people will vent on social media about a business being busy. Wait your freaking turn!! Anyways, I got a few Portuguese pastries, Pasteis du Bacalau and what looked to me like samosas only a Portuguese version. Asked them to warm up my food, €5 for 4 pastries. Can't go wrong with that. Yummy! So glad I came here on my last day.

    A great selection of pastries. Prices are very reasonable compared to Europe. If you're in the area, I highly recommend trying them.

    Made a quick stop for some coffee and Pastéis de Nata. Both really hit the spot, however it definitely wasn't a quick stop. They were busy, so it's understandable that service was a little slower than expected. Would definitely come back here again.

    Morning fruit intake. Papaya juice.

    Interesting baked goods - the brownie was fine, the egg and sugar "cone" was also fine (though obviously super sweet).

This means I can now say who made them best, and more importantly, why. The interesting thing is, I didn't think the pastel de nata here were particularly great, on any dimension - fairly flimsy, doughy crust, with a pudding-like, drippy filling that was too sweet and not quite eggy enough. Don't get me wrong, I'd still eat them any time someone offered, they were still tasty, you just have a ton of options nearby, some of them notably better than the ones here. I also tried one of their fancy-looking cookies, which definitely looked fancier than it tasted. Was just a cookie. Dessert-wise I was unimpressed. They were also always fairly busy, which made ordering feel a bit rushed. So why am I still giving this bakery 5 stars, and why did I come back here a couple more times, including to get food to-go the morning we left, to get food to take on the plane with us? For exactly one reason, and it's a weird one: oddly enough, the samosas here are the best samosas I've ever had, and by a wide margin. You'd think the best samosas ever would come from an Indian restaurant or bakery, but nope, they're here. The other small savory food items we tried were also pretty good, but the samosas are the juiciest, meatiest, most perfectly bursting with spices samosas I've had. Who knew? They also had pretty solid espresso and pretty solid free-squeezed orange juice, but those aren't hard to find in Portugal (I miss seeing inexpensive fresh squeezed OJ all over the city... especially *truly* fresh squeezed, to order, from whole oranges. Portuguese OJ definitely was the best. Though obviously not *better* than other places you can get the same thing around - probably indeed the same oranges. Definitely better than anywhere you can get fresh OJ for a few bucks in the US, though, if you can find such a place. :p)

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 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!

    Fábrica da Nata focuses on doing one thing extremely well: Portuguese custard tarts…read more 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.

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.
