"Cosy and casual, A Portuguese Love Affair is the place to come for pastel de nata. They’re some of the best in the city—on the runny side but utterly delicious—and the rest of the Portuguese menu (bacalhau à brás, bifana, and the like) is also excellent. The bright, snug Hackney cafe is ideal for a long gossip session, or just a solo moment with a pastry. " - rachel rumbol
