Manteigaria - Cream Pastry Factory

One of the best pastel de nata I’ve ever tried maybe even the best so far! I’ve tried many before, but none were worth recommending until this one. Mr. Bruno was very welcoming and shared the history behind this traditional sweet. We even had a great talk about CR7 and his mentality! In my opinion, if you visit Lisbon you must try this place and eat it immediately to enjoy the full experience. Highly recommended 💯

I had been wanting to try authentic Portuguese tarts forever. This place had pretty high reviews so we popped in. Stood in line and grabbed a box. Found a seat outside and took a bite. The tarts are super sweet. Crust was nice but the custard was too sweet. It was creamy. Not at all like the Portuguese tarts in California. Not my cup of tea.

We were advised to try Pastel de nata in each région as they vary throughout Portugal - I opted not to do so *everywhere*, but the lines out the door for this place changed my mind to step in for a mandatory (second) desert that evening. It's a cool place, they work quick, you can see the process and enjoy the boulevard just outside or pop in for a treat. I'm not an expert in these tarts but they tasted awesome!

In my opinion, the best Pastel de Nata I have eaten so far. The cake was crunchy, while the custard is sweet and soft. Really make a harmony in my mouth. Will definitely come here again.

Had quite a few Pasteis de Nata during my visit to Lisbon but these were consistent and delectable. The crust was the perfect crispness and the custard was sweet, but had that nice cinnamon punch to it. highly recommend getting an espresso to help balance out the sweetness - as how a Pasteis de Nata should be eaten! There’s regularly a queue for this place, when we first arrived and walking to the hotel; it was queuing down the street! They are open until midnight, so you’ll find at least some downtime to be able to get yours. Had to get two sleeves of 6 to take home with me; they were even queuing as they opened at 8am! They are a chain, but their marketing on the trams and around Lisbon makes it hard not to at least give them a try and I’m glad I did.

For me, Manteigaria is the best! The pastry had the perfect crispy crunchy texture and the creamiest filling I’ve ever experienced. It was absolutely mouth watering. I will have to travel to Portugal again for many reasons and Manteigaria is definitely one of those reasons!

Incredibly delicious traditional desserts! I think they are the best of the classic versions. For me it’s a little bit too sweet… But consistency of cream and crunchy texture around them are perfect 👌🏻

This is probably my favorite egg tart shop in Lisbon. Tried egg tarts from 4 different shops during our trip and I enjoyed the ones from Manteigarie the most. The custard in the middle was of perfect texture, not too runny but tasted about right. The outer shell was very crispy and still fell warm when served. While it was crispy and flaky, it did NOT feel greasy or oily at all! Definitely worth to wait a bit in the line for their egg tarts.
