The 36 Best Restaurants in Lisbon, Portugal | Eater

"In a country known for sweets rich in egg yolks and sugar, Brazilian pastry chef Juliana Penteado dared to innovate. Her small, charming pastry shop on Calçada da Estrela seamlessly blends precise French patisserie techniques, local ingredients, and global flavors. Penteado, a judge on Masterchef Portugal, studied at Le Cordon Bleu and lived in Paris before deciding to open her own business in Lisbon. Using organic culinary essential oils, she crafts pineapple choux with kaffir lime, caramel millefeuille with tangerines, and raspberry cheesecake with verbena. Must-try dish: Penteado’s buttery cookies in flavors like lemongrass or tangerine, are perfect for pairing with coffee or tea. They are one of many reasons people line up outside her shop on weekends." - Rafael Tonon
