My favourites were from Manteigaria. Never got round to doing the pastel de nata workshop though – wish I had!

@Andrew, or five! They were available on a near daily basis while we cruised the Douro River, I think I ate a ton of them on my own!

Eating them with powdered sugar and cinnamon is also a very “Lisbon” thing to do, since in other parts of the country they are eaten plain.

@Linds, I am so glad you think so! Thanks to Fiona for being so knowledgeable and as passionate about Portugal as I am about France!

I can’t wait to taste one of these pastries! The recommendations are great 🙂

@R, I crossed very close to Sintra on my way to Cascais, but never got to taste this treat – I must go back!

@Sara, I have tried something similar to this in Asia, it is food heaven – and believe me, I trust you! I have been to Portugal once and we never made it to Lisbon, I want to the do the north and then cross over into Spain to see Bilbao.

It’s the best think you’ll ever try in this world. And that’s all I have to say (despite that this is also on of “the best” countries in the world. Don’t visit Lisbon only. The north deserves a visit as well.)
