The Best Pastel de Nata in Lisbon, Portugal | Eating Portuguese Egg Tarts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 кві 2018
- Come join us on a quest to find the best pastel de nata in Lisbon, Portugal as we visit three different establishments eating Portuguese egg tarts all over the city. Pastéis de nata first originated from Santa Maria de Belém in the 18th century by Catholic monks at the Jerónimos Monastery where they are called Pastel de Belém (plural) or Pastéis de Belém (singular). Requiring egg-whites to starch clothes it was common to use the leftover yolks for baking which resulted in these tarts being created. Fortunately, we had the chance to visit Belem to sample the original ones along with two other places. They are typically served warm with icing sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top. I should also note that the Portuguese egg tarts are popular in both Brazil and Macau as well. The following is a list of the 3 places where we tried them from:
1) Fábrica de Pastéis de Belém
Rua de Belem n0 84 a 92
84 A 92 Lisbon 1300-085, Portugal
+351 21 363 7423
2) Confeitaria Nacional
Address: Praça da Figueira 18B, 1100-241 Lisboa, Portugal
Phone: +351 21 342 4470
3) Manteigaria
Address: Rua do Loreto 2, 1200-108 Lisboa, Portugal
Phone: +351 21 347 1492
Out of the three we thought the best pastel de nata was at Manteigaria although we'd highly recommend all three spots as the quality was excellent throughout the range of establishments.

The Best Pastel de Nata in Lisbon, Portugal | Eating Portuguese Egg Tarts Video Transcript:
Hey guys, greetings from Lisbon and that means only one thing because we need to eat some local food from here and the local food that is really a specialty is the Pastel de nata which is the Portuguese egg tarts.
It was invented here in Lisbon and we are going to go 3 different places. No less than 3 different places to try it. Let's just get started. Let's start eating.
We got ourselves a little sweet treat. The line was long but they are super efficient in there. We went to Pastéis de Belém. It is like right next to the Jerónimos Monastery. The original. It is the original. They've been making these pastries since 1837. They look so good.
We bought four. Poof. And a fly just flew by.
My parents have the other two by the way. We easily could have had two each. We could have. And the price was a Euro and ten cents for each. They are quite small. I wish they were a little bit larger because this is like a two biter.
Oh my are they good. This is not our 1st time to try these. No, we've had these before. About two years ago on our last visit.
They gave us two little packs. This one has cinnamon this one is icing sugar. You just sprinkle a little bit on.
So good. It has got like a pudding texture doesn't it? I love it. The exterior is super flaky. And buttery and after walking around for hours
Our quest for Portuguese egg tarts continues. This is the 2nd spot we're trying. And this one is Confeitaria Nacional. This place is another like older establishment. It has been around for I think since the 19th century. We're going to have to look at the actual year. It has been a while. I will show you (1829) it was on the outside of the place.
What is different this time is that we have them in different sizes. So this would be the regular size. This is like the mini me size.
How is that? That is really good. It is really flaky and crispy and then you have that like pudding like eggy consistency but I think compared to the 1st place this one tastes a little bit sweeter.
Okay third shop. This one is called Manteigaria and we went in with the intention of only getting two tarts. We've walked out with a pack that holds six. Before we forget they were what a 1.10 Euro?
This may be the best one so far. You think so? This is warm. Fresh out of the oven. Ticks off that box. It is pudding like and creamy. It is really sweet.
You can just eat these all day. That is it from Lisbon and we will see you guys with more food and travel videos soon.
This is part of our Travel in Portugal video series showcasing Portuguese food, Portuguese culture and Portuguese cuisine.

Just to clarify...
"Pastel de Nata" you can buy all around the country.
"Pastel de Belém" you can only buy in one place in Lisbon.
They are similar in shape but totaly diferent in flavour.
The recipe is very secret and till today nobody outside the "family" know's it.
Thank you for letting us know!
I'm Portuguese. I tried all of them and the one's from Manteigaria are definitely the best in the whole country.
Agree for the pastéis de nata but Pastéis de Belém there's only one place to have them!!
have you tried the Asian version of Portuguese tart? I think that's better
@@Mikemm-un3lb hahahahaha ok
I agree!
The most beautiful city I’ve ever seen in Lisbon and I missed so much. Thanks guys, this video is amazing! Have more fun, more travel!!
Thank you! We'll have our city guide from Lisbon coming out today. It truly is a beautiful city.
That looked so delicious! You're such a great inspiration for my channel. Keep it up guys :)
it looks so tasty
I was very happy when I saw the notification. I was waiting for these videos since you announced you're going to Portugal again. Great video as usual. Can't wait to see more of Portugal videos :-)
Thank you very much! We're finally getting caught up on edits. We might have a couple more weeks with just 2 out per week but hoping to ramp that up to 3 and 4 per week starting soon.
Take your time. Quality is more important than rushing to post new stuff. We'll have to be patient :P
This brings back great memories of eating pasteis de nata....so delicious.
There are so many recipes in UA-cam, why don't you make them?
Ive never tried egg tarts before, those look absolutely delicious 😋 wow, there’s nothing like authentic food
Definitely a must try in Lisbon. Can never get enough Natas! I watched your first Lisbon video and used it to plan my first trip there. I've now been to Lisbon twice and plan to make it an annual visit if I can. Looking forward to seeing more of your Portugal videos!
Thank you! That is really cool to hear. It is a wonderful place to return again and again.
Thanks for sharing this great egg tarts
I enjoy seeing both of you eat! Love the videos .. I will be trying them soon! I am hungry now 😬
I love Portuguese egg tarts! But I have only eaten at the Pastéis de Belém place. I did not know the other places you visited. Great food tour!
You guys are the best,I really enjoy all your videos and Porto been my next destination later on the year.......thanks a lot for your videos and please keep your videos coming 😊
Thank you very much! Ah, Porto is such a great city to visit.
I'm going to go there too one year :) my dream now -Lisbon and lovely trams !
Hi Bajlandia, I Think do you like check my chanel...
I love the Asian style Portuguese tart. It has an egg and butter aroma. The Portuguese version taste like vanilla just like many Portuguese tarts in Toronto
They are indeed different. Tried them both.
The portuguese pastel de nata has nothing to do with asia.
I soooo prefer the pastel de belem. It is just so...perfect! Love your videos by the way :)
Thank you! They are the original.
From all the food you've shown us so far, I think these egg tarts make me drool the most
Oh thank you! Wish we could share.
another amazing video
I've had Portuguese egg tarts in Lisbon & Faro, Portugal but by far the best I've ever tasted were those bought from the Azores...the taste was outstanding!...great video as always guys!
That is really cool to hear! Hope to try one from Azores. Do you rememeber the place?
I remember best places like the Algarve to the Azores but I still looking to portugal food !!!
Some years ago my bf dumped me in Coimbra and later that day I devoured them like crack on a park bench in Belem.
Great video.. loved it..
N I'm hungry now....
Warm, with cinnamon and with a Portuguese expresso always ❤️🇵🇹 with the Lisbon sun ☀️...and I’m from Porto, Portugal...
Oh that sounds so good!
I saw your Lisbon travel guide video last year. It's seems you liked a lot of Lisbon because you returned. By the way, your videos are fantastic and Lisbon is very good, isn't it? I also saw you travel video to Budapest and use it to plan my trip there last August. Very helpful...
Thank you very much! Yeah, it was great to return again. It was my parents first time so it was exciting to show them around.
Nice video.. love you guys 😘
Hi guy's, I love your new look with Sam's hat & Audrey's new glasses & hat, you are the best, always look forward to your videos - keep em coming
Oh man, I'm binge watching your channel LOL. Brings back memories from my travels to Portugal; I think I will visit my closest Portuguese bakery once they start reopening. Surprisingly there is a bit of a Portuguese population in Brampton, so hopefully you can find some good Pastel de Nata close by!
Thank you very much! Where did you go on trip to Portugal? We just loved it there as well. We're actually thinking maybe Spain or Portugal might be our first trip once things have opened up again and it is safe to travel. We'll try to find some in Brampton.
@@samuelandaudrey I went to Lisbon, then Madrid. I did not really get to appreciate my trip to Portugal until reflecting on my travels afterwards. Down the line I would love to visit Porto, Algarve, Azores; as for Spain, I really love it and want to explore the smaller cities/towns (and also want to do the Camina de Santiago walk!).
Perfect!
THank you!
Manteigaria hands down is the best!! We are on a quest to try recreate it at home until we can go back to Portugal! Your video really made us miss those egg tarts!
I hope the recipe turns out! Those tarts are so tasty - we were consuming them on a daily basis during our visit. 😊
Those sound fantastic, the crunch really comes through on camera, I love these tarts they are my absolute favourite pastry but I wish I could try them in Portugal - we have decent ones in Toronto but nothing compares to the ones you've sampled i'm guessing.
Thank you! Hahaha...you would not be able to sneak one of these in the middle of the night without somebody noticing ;) The ones in Toronto I bet are really good. We've had fantastic ones in Macau as well.
The Mountie style hat is cool.
Pastries are the best invention ever.
I love your videos, especially about traditional stuff of my country ^^
Thank you! We're loving being back.
Enjoy!
:)
I made two english friends love Lisbon so much that they wanna live there now. Maybe Lisbon will do the same for you guys haha
I loved Lisbon !
Do you love Portugal and Lisbon? Watch my chanel !!! Best regards
Audrey, I love the Hat:)
I keep hearing that while Pastel de Balem is the original, Manteigaria is the best. Will be trying both in two weeks.
Please come to Oporto in the north of Portugal and make a video of the city ! I garantee you will love it !!! Even though I live in Oporto I bet you would teach me new stuff ahah
I’m really enjoying your channel ! :)
I remember once in Lisbon, instead of "Pastel de Nata", I ordered a "Pastel de Natal" (Christmas tart), and the waitress was like "excuse me?". That was because I didn't know that Pastel de Belém was also known as Pastel de Nata, so when I saw it at a glance I misread it. Ps: I'm Brazilian, so it was funny because we were speaking the same language. Great video as always!
Thank you! Hahaha...that is a funny story. Are these quite common in Brazil as well?
I've never seen these here, but for sure you can find it somewhere, but it's not common :).
Henrique Barbosa Pastel de Nata é uma coisa e Pastel de Belém outra. São apenas parecidos e não a mesma coisa.
Pastel de Nata is one thing and pastel de Belém another. They are only similar on shape. But very diferent.
Love your videos.🥰😍❤️❤️
Portuguese hand mad pastery are absolutely delicious.
I do recommend to trie others also, as well as the food.
It is so many beautiful recipes of Portuguese food that you deserve to trie..😍
Thank you very much! What would be three must try dishes in your opinion for visitors?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos
Cozido á portuguesa, carne alentejana, frango no churrasco,dobrada, feijoada, bacalhau á Brás, bacalhau á Gomes Sá, bacalhau no forno com batatas etc.etc. Is there no end.😆😋😋
Sweets: apart of the famous pastel de nata.
Is there sweets and cakes of every region as well the variety of chouriços and presuntos it’s amazing 🥰
Every year all over the Portugal 🇵🇹 in diferente date and diferente city they celebrate a fiesta in honor of the saint that they are devoted.
I highly recommend to see the most important.
It’s beautiful, lots of fun, food, drink , traditional music and folklore dancers and you meet a lot of people from different places and country’s.
Is something to see and to enjoy.🥰
My dream is to travel all over with my children and grandchildren 😍
With out stress, with out running, plenty of time to see and to enjoy the friendly people , food, drink and learn.❤️
Sam and Audrey - there are Portuguese Natas available back in Canada. Toronto and Hamilton have places that make authentic Natas and other desserts.
EXELENTES IMÁGENES COMO SIEMPRE !
Gracias! :)
they look awesome! They are super famous in South Korea. I think i even saw a korean girl in one of the shops there lol.
WOW, wanna gonna be there..!!
Hope you can soon!
I have to try one (or two) of those little pastries....you guys make them look yummi-licious...feeling a Food-Coma coming along! Are you guys planning on going to France again...Audrey would absolutely love Colmar, Perouge, Yvoire, Eze & St. Paul De Vence...to name a few...Also Avignon, Nimes, Aix-en Provence & Arles. It would be great to see you guys enjoy the Frenchosphere! 🥐🍷🧀
Thank you very much! We'd love to visit France again. Appreciate all of those suggestions.
So yummy! Btw Audrey where are your boots from?
Great video of a place I haven’t given much thought, although I heard the food and prices were great! Is there a place on your bucket list that the two of you haven’t been to yet? BTW, did you watch the Bruins and Maple Leafs last night? Go Bruins!!
Thank you! Yeah, Portugal offers great value for travelers. It is not nearly as expensive as some nearby countries. Oh, go Bruins go! I hate the Leafs ;)
Hey hey seeing your video almost after 6 months.....both of you had become more fairer......always food lovie....lots of love from Nepal.....
They look and sound so yummy! If you find an easy recipe, please share that too. Love your videos.
Thank you! We'll be on the lookout for one.
A lot of recipes on youtube
Manteigaria is the best and thats all they make there and nothing else and they're open until 2am on the weekends and 12am during the week.
That is cool to hear!
luckyducky16
Where is Manteigaria..?
What district..?
😊🥰😋😋
@@leito1257 the one they went to is in Lisbon, Rua do Loreto..
There's one in Porto as well
I've been there already it is an awesome country and I recommend it. I even had Portuguese lessons!
Very cool to hear!
"Obrigado" :D
It means thank you in Portuguese
Nice video
Wow, that's the biggest bite I've ever seen Audrey take! LOL. No micro-nibble here. Gotta admit it does look super tasty.
Hahahaha...she went in with supreme confidence ;)
Great video guys, do one about Portuguese wine!
Thank you! That will be coming up soon :)
Good experience 😊😊😊
Thank you! It sure was fun to try them from all 3 spots :)
You could make a Best Francesinha episode up in the north in Porto one day! Thank you for the videos!
We tried that in Porto! Coming up soon...sooooo good :)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos that's fantastic! Looking forward to watch that video!
Icing sugar is kind of a tourist thing, almost no one in Portugal puts it in the Pasteis de Nata, the Cinnamon every Pastelaria have it, you just need to ask for Canela.
Oh, thanks for letting us know! Canela is a must :)
I'm portuguese and I always ask for the icing sugar too.
I think it is important to have the least refined sugar as possible, not a good thing for health.
Welcome to my country!
Thank you! Very happy to be back :)
It only took 4 years for us to try and replicate your test, but my wife and I agree, Manteigaria edged out Belem. Our 3rd place was Fabrica da Nata. The ones on the buffet in the breakfast rooms at our hotels in Lisbon or Porto were just not all that good. Nowhere close to the flakiness and caramelization of a good pastel de nata.
Oh wow, glad you got to try the pasteis de nata for yourself, Stephen! That's a fun taste test. 😊
Let's start eating
How similar is the filling to "crema pastelera"? (from your trip to buenos aires)
Ah, they're both good but different.
We get them in South African too :)
someone has to do this hard job
Wow, I still haven't watched the whole video but Pastel de Nata does originate in Portugal, but they have the same pastry in Macao (being a Portuguese colony)
Thanks! We got to try them in Macau. Really enjoyed the ones from Lord Stow's bakery.
i think that it seems like our greek sweet bugatsa (in tarta form of course)
tasty!!!
Thank you! Oh, we'll have to try the bugasta sometime! Sounds super tasty :)
Ty by ur choice. We work to make the Best pastel de nata in lisbon. 😋👍👍
Thanks! That is great to hear :)
I love a woman that knows how to eat. Never stop being you 9:16
Ah, thanks! We do love to eat!
Has anyone tried both pastel de anta in Lisbon (manteigaria) and Macau (Lord Stow’s bakery). How do u compare the two? Which one do U think is better?
Egg tart sounds disgusting to me but you guys made me craving to this now 😂 i never thought i would ever want to eat egg tart but now i want!!! Omg why 😂😂
Okay just to make things clear, Pastel de Belém is a Registered Trade Mark, only that shop can sell it under the name Pastel de Belém , is all the other places all over the Country or the World its called Pastel de Nata.
Thank you for letting us know!
Wow nice video
Thank you! :)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos
Seriously I'm following in your videos. Because yesterday I'm visiting the bangkok city. I following the Bangkok videos it's really helping the videos next month I am going to planning the Hongkong and I following the Hong Kong videos 25things in Hongkong. Both are really helping to me.
Thank you! That is great to hear. Honestly, we make these guides with that in mind. To help first time visitors enjoy their trip and show them different things they can do and eat. Hope you enjoy both cities!
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos thank you so much for both of us....
Pastel de Nata and Pastel de Belem is not the same thing. They are different in taste and texture.
But both very good and in every corner in Lisbon you will find (Pastel de Nata)
Thank you for letting us know.
You have to be generous with the cinnamon and the icing sugar when eating pastéis de nata (most often, they are written in plural; pastel is the singular). Also, they should be fresh out of the oven. Give it some backup with a cup of coffee. This is how it becomes soooo Portuguese! I love Portuguese cuisine!
Thanks for those tips! We loved them.
I wish I could travel with u two!
I would help record!
And edit!
😁
Thank you! Very kind of you to offer.
Actually the shop that has won prizes for the best "pastel de nata" is close to the first place where you tried it. Maybe less than 500m walking, next to the pink-coloured presidential palace and the new National Coach museum
Oh thanks for letting us know!
You're welcome. It's the only pastry shop....actually the only shop in a corner between two roads. Very easy to find. Enjoy!
Love her Chelsea boots 🙈🙈
People who have eaten the most egg tarts on Camera on UA-cam = Samuel and Audrey.
Hey Sam and Audry, nice to see you guys.
What a coincidence, today i watched your earlier trip to Lisbon.
Btw, if you remember, could you let me know where did you buy these ua-cam.com/video/3se_8OtkUt8/v-deo.htmlm5s ?
i will be going to Lisbon next month, would like to try them.
Than you !
after 2000 slices of pizza and 40 egg tarts sam is lookin a litl puffy
Yeah different .... some people says to me
03:33 RIP mini me aka Verne Troyer
Was sad to hear that!
yes the best ones are the Manteigaria !! don't put sugar on it it's already too sweet !! if you are in Carfiff Wales look for The Artisan Portuguese Pastry Bakery !! only in farmers markets !!
Thank you for letting us know about that!
no problem !! I am a 28 year old Portuguese baker and I see no logic in the powdered sugar on top of the Pastel de Nata!! It only serves as an aesthetic finish !!
Ta ta...Sam...:-)
You forgot another store. The name is FÁBRICA DA NATA (there are two in lisbon). Adress 1: Praça dos Restauradores, 62 - 68; Adress 2: Rua Augusta, 275 A.
Thank you very much for recommending that. Is it your favorite?
Recipes that are like the original (the belém recippe is a secret) most baked in portugal

I can find paste da Nata in downtown Toronto and it’s not expensive but not taste good
Keep trying more places as some are authentic.
Pastel de Nata is not "egg tarts".Perhaps you could say it's a "milk cream cake/tart", but no...
It's Pastel de Nata and it's unique like much of the Wonderful Food in Portugal.
You wouldn't call a Pizza, has the italian Quiche Lorraine would you?
Welcome to Portugal!
Thank you for the explanation.
Audrey you look like stern Mountie who just confiscated some illicit egg tarts and decided to not let them go to waste ;-)
While it does not taste bad, it is basically half cooked egg with sugar.
you can get these in the portuguese bakeries all over Toronto ....lets see food ....no desserts
291 like 🔝
Thanks!
Anytime soon theres gonna be an invasion only for just the recipe of pasteis de nata and pasteis de belem! Try to eat all of the regional sweets and cakes from all the country and you'll see that pasteis de nata are just the tip of the iceberg, a very very small tip!!
What should we try next time Paulo?
@@samuelandaudrey Try alentejo both the coast and interior, and the interior north, you'll see theres a lot of distinct food and sweets as well as the landscapes. The most known areas are the most populated, the others less knowned are more calm and relaxing. I live in the litoral of alentejo almost near the border with algarve, but its a relaxing place near almost everything.
I prefer the belem. Less sugar and more taste
Comon guys I have put on 12 kilos since I started watching you 2 years ago.. dont you think you should show some Athletic videos ,,my God ! :O hang on hold that thought ! whats for dinner ?? xxooxx hugs from Melbourne Australia
Sorry for that! Maybe an exercise channel could be in the works ;)
hey Sam and Audrey But always put Food channel first and then Exercise later (make it short) dont wanna get too hungry .. We always sit down with Myriam at breakfast & eat with you guys its a religous practice now. Wherever you are we with you all the best from Cloudy Autumny Melbourne :)
...now you need to try the 360 dishes of cod, the national dish
Hahaha...one per day for the whole year :)
I got fed up being offered hashisa every 5 mins ha
Why don't you make you own Pastéis de Nata at home ?
We'd love to try that someday!
No no no!!!!! You did not ate PAstel de Nata, but Pastel de Belém, and for god sake, Pastel de Nata are a lot better then Belém. You should come to Coimbra and try Pastel de Nata. =D
And almost everyone eats it with a coffee spoon. =D
Thanks. Hope we can next time.
Thanks for the tip.
you guys are missing the best shops for Pasteis de Nata... You went to the famous ones, the ones for tourists.
Which ones do you recommend? I hope we can visit them next time.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos the better shops are on the outskkrts ir the city. In my opinion the best one I've tested is in Benfica, called Pastelinho de Benfica. A small coffee shop that hand makes them almost every day (they are closed in tuesdays so the best day to get them is on wednesday and monday. They have to make them really early ) but there is actually a citywide contest every year for this. I'll try to drop the link bellow.
There is no oficial page for the contest but seems this year the winner was a seafood restaurant called "Mercado do Peixe" at Ajuda ( above Belém ), 2nd place was "Fidalgo's" bakery at Moita and 3rd was "Pastelaria Batalha" at Venda do Pinheiro. Hope you return soon.
Thank you very much for sharing that!
Do never get the ones in the gas stations along the highway. You will be disappointed. As you may expect they are mass produced. Do yourself a favor and get the authentic ones in a pastry shop or shop such as the ones shown in this video.
Sugar??? Someone call the police!!
lol
:-)
