Confeitaria Nacional

"Which Cake to Taste? You will feast with your eyes as soon you enter here. Founded in 1829, this confectionery store is considered one of the best in Lisbon , having won international prizes and serving, in the old days, as the official confectioner of the royal family. The King Cake, a very famous Christmas cake in Portugal, was born here; the recipe was brought from Paris in 1850. You will also find miniature pastries: Try to resist. But there is more than cakes. You'll find a beautiful interior with a marble counter, carved woodwork, tiles, a mirrored ceiling, and a mural of high historical value. And on the second floor, there is now a tearoom."
