Manteigaria – Rua Augusta
Pastel de Nata
Begun in Bica, but now expanded to tourist zones including Time Out Market, Rua Augusta and even the airport, Manteigaria has moved from a local favorite to booming enterprise thanks to their commitment to one thing and one thing only, the Pastel de Nata.
Tagged as “Fábrica de Pastéis de Nata” on signage, a layout inviting guests to watch production undoubtedly part of Manteigaria’s appeal, it is beginning at 08h00 that doors open with “about 3,000” Pastéis sold per day according to the cashier at their Rua Augusta location.
Offering outside seating until curfew, with fresh Egg Custard Tarts baked throughout the day, Sunday around 11h00 found specimens hot and fresh with briskly cracking shell yielding a center with pronounced sweetness mellowed by charring, though for this man’s Euro a little more heat and less time would have been preferred.
