I thought that was for sure it until I discovered them in Porto as well. These guys primarily sell one thing, and it's the same everywhere. Clearly they like their formula. Obviously, I had the pasteis de nata. Curiously, at this location specifically, they refuse to sell a single one and instead sell in groups of two. This one was not my favorite. The pastry shell does have a good crispness and flakiness to it, but the problem is the inside is just way too sweet. The custard is just sickly sweet - such that it simply doesn't work with the egg flavor. It seems to be a problem unique to this chain, as I haven't noticed this sweetness anywhere else. Overall, I would look elsewhere for pastel de nata. 5/10

I visited the store Sunday afternoon, it is a small and brightly lit area, with a kitchen in the back and display cabinets in the front. Upon entering, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who promptly took my order and started preparing it. The selection is incredible - all vegan! The donuts were the thickest I've ever seen, and the ice cream options were amazing. My mission was to get donuts since we were leaving early the next morning for Porto. With over a dozen different styles to choose from, I ended up with two Madagascar Vanilla glazed, one raspberry (red berry) with cream glaze and blueberry filling, and one Chocolate glaze with Chocolate Ganesh filling. These donuts are to die for! The yeast-raised donuts are about 2 to 3 inches tall, and the fillings and glazes are bursting with flavor. They're not too sweet, and you can immediately tell what flavors they have. They were the best donuts I've ever had, hands down. I can't wait to go back to Lisbon and try more of these delicious treats!

The location we visited was in Marvila. It was a little more pricey than I expected but the vegan donuts and vegan ice cream were really good. I was hoping to get a bit more ice cream for the price but the single scoop was more like a kid scoop size. It was good! The service was good as well. There was a small area to sit. It was located within what seemed like a plant and home decor store, very interesting but great people watching! Glad we tried it and would definitely visit again.

That is exactly the "good" problem Landeau has as besides their famous chocolate cake, all they have are beverages, inadvertently making their sign outside with the proclamation "When in doubt, try chocolate cake!" kind of hilarious. Once you've huffed and puffed your way up one of Lisbon's stairmaster hills, the darkened and vintage feeling interior of this particular Landeau feels very welcome. Although there is ample seating for the size of this store, the ample line of people waiting to get in from the outside might make getting a seat difficult nonetheless. I do like the regular lattes here but let's face it, any beverage you get here is really meant to be a sidekick to the main star of the show, Landeau's famous chocolate cake. And it is indeed, the best slice of chocolate cake you'll ever have, and that is not hyperbole. Layered and textured, but pillowy and light, it's really difficult to describe what a beautiful heavenly experience eating a chocolate cake at Landeau is. It's like treating your mouth to the most sumptuous and comforting experience it's ever going to have when eating something and you never want to end. And for under 5 euros, it almost feels like a steal. I really do consider going to a Landeau one of the highlights of my trip to Lisbon and urge everyone to put it on their must eats here. Even yes, over the egg tarts.

I've tried Amorino at Rua de Augusta in downtown Lisbon, but when we went shopping in Vasco da Gama…read moreshopping center near Oriente, I was surprised to see that they have a kiosk right there, on the ground floor, at the end of the mall away from the station. Amorino is a rather large chain which started in Paris, with many stores in Europe, as well as outposts in the U.S., in Mexico, Saudi Arabia and S. Korea! Well, unfortunately I do not live in a city where they have shops, so I have to visit Amorino while traveling. They are known for the rose petal shaped gelato cones. After seeing them online, I've tried making one at home. Needless to say, my pathetic attempts did not look floral, or any nameable thing, at all. In all honesty, I am a bit disappointed, the gelato rose is not as well crafted as the ones I've seen online. There is an option of adding a macaron on top as well. The staff here are nicer than the downtown location and very helpful with the sampling; you can pick multiple flavors for your cone. Flavor-wise, both the gelato and macaron are delicious, but not great, but that's probably because I like a more intense flavor.

So firstly - the specialty here is not a Pasteis de Nata, but instead its a dessert called Pastel Feijão (hence the titular name of this place), which is more popular in the North of Portugal. The pastry filling here is not egg, but instead a mix of white beans (which are displayed in a jar on the table outside, so mystery solved ;-) and almonds. So if you have vegan/ vegetarian friends visiting Lisbon who cant eat the Pasteis de Nata, well then this place absolutely comes to the rescue! Biting into this is like tasting a heavenly pillow of deliciousness. The bean taste disappears and what you are left with is a lovely almond-y smooth taste (and it does not taste anything like almond-butter, but more earthy and fresh). The closest comparison probably is the creme brulee- like soft and milky texture. The Pastry Chef has won tons of rewards and his Pastel Feijão definitely was a winner for me. I'll be coming back here again when my travels next bring me back to Lisboa. Note - Day 3 of Lisbon, Portugal adventures Yelp 202/ 2019
