Castro - Atelier de Pastéis de Nata

Stopped by Castro – Atelier de Pastéis de Nata and overall had a good experience. The pastel de nata was delicious, with a crust that had a subtle salty note, which was a really nice touch and helped balance the sweetness of the custard. The texture was spot on as well, with the right mix of fluffiness inside and crispness on the outside. Service was okay. The gentleman who served us seemed a bit out of it, but it was toward the end of the day, so that was understandable and didn’t take too much away from the visit. Overall, it’s definitely worth a try if you’re in the area and looking to sample another take on a classic pastel de nata.

Good place for a quick takeaway coffee and natas. This place was known to Koreans as one the the "Big 3 nata places". If there were a spectrum between the generic franchises and the original monastery recipe from pasteis de belem, this place would be at about the middle. Slightly sweeter than belem and less crispy, but kuch less sweet than the typical natas. Which in this context, is a good thing. Worth going for a quick takeaway if you get the munchies after dinner and this place is close by.

The best pastel de nata for me. Not too sweet! It has a perfecf crust! And what’s even more amazing is that they have outdoor sitting just in front of the Elevador de Santa Justa where you can enjoy your pastel de nata.

Had a delicious espresso and Pastel de Nata here. Both fresh and extremely tasty. Highly recommend. Try to take the time to sit and enjoy it there.

I have never had a pastel de nata this good!! They melt in your mouth. Stumbled on this place on my first day in Lisbon and then came back every day to get more of the goodness 🤤 I have tried other places too, but the delicate balance of creamy custard inside and slight crisp on the outside was the best here.

castro is my favorite nata shop! i love how their natas are warm and you can sprinkle as many cinnamon powder as you want on top! thin flaky crust, smooth eggy custard, the size is just right. friendly service too! i like this shop in particular because you get to do some people watching while enjoying the nata.

"Great location right next to the Santa Justa Lift! The pastel de nata was fresh and delicious. and there are nice outdoor tables where you can enjoy the view. Friendly atmosphere and good service - definitely recommend!"😊

Hands down the BEST pastel de nata in this area. I went to Natelier, Manteigaria, and Fabrica da Nata, but Castro has the best one. It is very crispy and flaky with an excellently balanced filling. It is the most expensive at 1.70, but worth it. Head to head, it rivals Pasteis de Belem if you don’t want to make the trek to Belem or wait in a long line. I honestly won’t be surprised when Castro becomes THE pastel de nata place. Get it before it gets hyped up and a long queue forms!
