Got to say that I am not a huge pastry fan, which makes this five star review for this little pastry shop extra special. This bakery is the quintessential Lisbon gem, a shop that is loaded with traditional goodies that you can only find in Portugal. From almond cakes to egg cream pastries to chicken stuffed rolls, it is all good enough to make your head spin.
I really like their savory chicken-stuffed rolls, for it was just like eating a chicken pot pie back in the States, only this little flavor morsel was served cold. I actually thought that this made for a better snack, allowing the chicken and chicken fat to congeal into the consistency of pate of chopped chicken liver.
All I can say is that it is a good thing they we don't have anything like this back home, for it would be the end of me. With savory treats described above and prices beyond imagination (six world class pastries and coffee for two people at just under 8 euros) it is hard to imagine a better breakfast outing. read more
