Manteigaria - Cream Pastry Factory

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.

I think it’s not bad. The pie is crispy and hot. However, I think it’s too sweet for me. In addition , you can see how they make it.

These little pastel de natas are made here fresh all day long so you get them nice and hot. You can watch how they are made. Although there is always a queue but the service is fairly fast. Pro tip: try to sprinkle some cinnamon powder over them at the counter it makes them even better.

Must try! Must try! Must try! Definitely the best Pastel de Nata in Lisbon. I bought mine at the Time out market, there is always a line but it moves quickly so I didn’t wait for long.

A great place to try a traditional dessert - Pastel de nata. The cafe has an open kitchen, and you can see how the cakes are made. The taste of Pastel is great, very and very tasty! Cherry liqueur is also delicious. In bakery a lot of people, but the line moves quickly. For 2 cappuccinos (cappuccino was not so gut), 4 pastels and 1 liqueur we paid 11€, which is a fairly low price for Europe. The food is packed in branded packaging, which is convenient.

The pastries are always fresh, I like the fact that whilst you eat them, you can watch the staff make them. For me, these were the best out of all the pastries I tried in Lisbon. If you order take away, it's packaged nicely and they are warm but best eaten right there in the shop.

Fresh, flaky, and rich—Manteigaria in Chiado lives up to the hype. The pastéis de nata are served warm with that perfect caramelized top and crisp shell. It gets crowded, especially midday, but service is fast and the pastries are worth the wait. You can even watch them being grilled and prepped fresh behind the glass. A must-stop spot for anyone serious about custard tarts in Lisbon.

It’s a pretty famous spot where you can watch Pastéis de Nata being made fresh. There was a line, but it moved quickly. The pastry shell was super thin and flaky—not crunchy—while the filling was thick, creamy, and not too eggy, though a bit too sweet for my taste. The cinnamon flavor was also stronger compared to other places I’ve tried. It was okay for me, but many people love it. Give it a try if you’re curious!
