This is pastéis de nata heaven. They are baked and prepared before your eyes, a bell announcing each new batch that comes out of the oven. You can admire them in their window waiting to be eaten.

Specialized in the sale of pão-de-ló (a kind of cake without butter), the house was later transformed into a bar and hosts concerts during the weekend.

People also come here to have a tea, to buy traditional and delicatessen products and to listen to music during cultural evenings.

Casa Piriquita, a historic house in Sintra, is a pastry shop (and tea room) located in the street that faces the castle. It is well known to gourmets and is always full. It is here that you can buy queijadas from Sintra, the local pastry shop (made with cottage cheese, sugar and cinnamon, not to mention many fresh eggs per kilo) that everyone enjoys. To avoid long queues at the counter, a more modern (and more common) branch is located at the top of the street, called Piriquita 2.

Not far from the Carmo church, you will discover a simple place, but with a window full of typical conventual pastries, made with egg and sugar: papo de anjo, pastel de nata, doce de castanha com ovo...

Let's add that the service and the welcome are smiling and tempting, which does not help to resist. But why should we? Come and visit us.

Real Italian ice in Lisbon: this glacier was created and is managed by Italians. Building on its success, Nannarella moved from 68 to 64 on the street to get more space.

In the summer, you will often see a long line in front of the store. At the old address, a pizza corner has opened where you can buy by weight one of the best pizzas in Lisbon.

But what is this about the real queijadas da Sapa? Would other establishments sell fake ones? Unfortunately, despite a careful investigation, we were unable to solve the mystery...

The legendary Cascais ice cream parlour, founded in 1949, with factories in São João do Estoril and Carcavelos (more recent), the regular supplier to the crowned heads, moved to the heart of the city in 2010.

Leitaria da Quinta do Paço is a former dairy, which has been transformed into a pastry shop with specialized recipes based on milk and butter.

For the price and the area, nothing to complain about: it's practical and economical

A small pastry shop hidden in the narrow streets, behind a garage door, where you can find excellent ovos molos and conventual cakes of Aveiro. This factory of small sweets of all kinds, born in 1882, religiously perpetuates the ancestral recipes of the convents.

Welcome to the temple of temptation!

The Confeitaria da Ponte dates from 1930 and is popular with the Portuguese who go there every day. The coffee is excellent. The welcome is quite good but can vary according to the day.
