The egg tart shell is not as flaky as Orion bakery but the custard is yummy with a good hint of citrus. We tried other savory pastries and sandwiches and those were fine as compared to other places. I really like the tuna empanada- it is circle shaped. Looks like a place for locals and not touristy at all.

I thought after Pasteis de Belem I wasn't going to get a pastel de nata that good again, but that's…read moreuntil I came here. The one from here was absolutely amazing. The layers of pastry on the outside were super thick - the most amount of layers I've seen on the double-digit ones that I've eaten. This makes the crunch earth-shattering, but still so easy to bite through. The pastry layers cascade down into the center, creating ripples of individual crunches along the way that is so immensely satisfying to consume. But what's truly spectacular is the inside. Upon the first bite, the custardy center oozes out like molten lava. You better make sure you have a plate under this, because the bright yellow goo is as addicting to taste as it is dangerous to your hands or clothing. The flavor is simply perfect - just the right amount of sweetness, citrus, and egginess. It's honestly unbelievable how good and irresistible this is. Comparing it to Pasteis de Belem, I think I would actually put this slightly over. The extra layers and the more liquidy center just do it for me. That's an iconic place, but comparing simply on what I liked better, I think this takes the cake (or tart). Overall, pretty close to the best baked good I've ever had. 9.75/10

So this is a delayed review--going thru my drafts and trying to write the ones I missed a while…read moreback! Came in April 2022 for a light morning snack based on seeing good reviews. Based on the items I ordered, everything was just passable. Maybe I'm not really appreciating the difference in textures between similar pastries in different countries, but even compared to several other bakeries and cafes in Lisbon, this was my least favorite. (Overall outside of pasteis de nata, I found pastries and baked goods in Portugal to be a bit drier, breadier, and sweeter than some other countries.) The chocolate croissant I ordered used melted chocolate sprinkles on top and inside, and the bread was laminated on the outside but kinda dense and dry on the inside, no airy pockets, just bready. The palmier tasted a bit stale, like when a crispy cookie has been sitting out and softened. The croquettes were average. The espresso was pretty normal. I sat outside since it was a nice day, they had a number of tables and patrons dining outside. They seemed to be understaffed bc it took a while for the server to come out and take my order, though the food came pretty quickly once ordered. Inside it's a very old-school feel, very ornate with many mirrors and liquor shelves along the wall. Not sure about prices now though will say in 2022 they were very reasonable.

We stopped in for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon and the tables were filling up quickly, inside and street side. We sat and ordered a few drinks followed by the standing lunch menu, offering an array of breakfast, light salads and soup with fresh seafood as well. I ordered the garlic shrimp and it was divine, the shrimp were succulent and fresh, the garlic oil was perfect, I love everything garlic. My husband opted for an omelette, the dish came with a side of fries, which appeared to be traditional from the looks of other diners. Our meals were delicious, they came out quick to keep up with the busy lunch crowd and with a prefix menu it helps to keep costs down. We will have to come back to try the bakery and sweets they looked delicious. The Pastelaria also offers a full bar.

Always buzzing with activity , open kitchen where you can see the tarts being baked and slowly coming out. Quality is still top notch. Nothing like it anywhere in the world.

I could not find more of those delicious chocolate treats at any other bakery in Portugal.

Let me nail it - the pillow type Travesseiro flaky puff pastry we had was cheap crap. Rubbish…read more The pastry is machine rolled. It was made with cheap vegetable oil and had artificial flavouring in it. If you are expecting to be wowed you'll be quite disappointed. I really wouldn't take another for free. We also got what turned out to be a lousy coffee. We were herded into the take - out part by our guide but as I looked in the window, for customers sitting in, there was a proper coffee machine. For some strange reason the travel guides push tourists into this place by the hundred to buy saying it's old, legendary. It might be old. It might have been good once but today it's all spin. I can't speak to any other pie or pastry here but this one is billed as their famous creation then it is reasonable to believe that it's all vegetable oil, white sugar and artificial flavouring all the way. We were in Vigo Spain in a little bakery a few months ago and their sweet treats were stunningly good but this place is lousy.
