With a huge location at the airport it is safe to say most visitors cannot miss Versailles, but for those venturing to the original Pastelaria on Avenida da República the experience is a step back in time featuring big variety and a mostly local clientele.
Also known as Café Versailles, several composed plates offered alongside Pastries sweet and savory, it is inside the 1920’s space that guests will find marble and stained-glass surrounding dark wood and chandeliers made of crystal.
Mostly unchanged across 90 years, with prices on par to other less-storied Portuguese Pastelaria, a duo of Pastel featuring Cod or Egg Custard each perform as expected, the former arguably Lisbon’s best thanks to delicate insides and a crisp exterior devoid of Oil.
Happy to partake in quality Espresso, as opposed to ubiquitous Nespresso, Versailles’ Castanha Ovo packs a lot of Egg and Sugar inside its super-thin skin while a half-dipped Palmier and sopping-wet Saco beneath delicate Cream are each enjoyable.
