We tried pastel de nata at three other places. This is the one. Freshly made, still warm, flaky crust, smooth, not-too-sweet custard - sooo dang good! After a native from Lisbon recommended we sprinkle with cinnamon, it was actually even better, and that seemed impossible. Wish I had one right now.

**EAT HERE** If you want Pasteis that taste exactly like Pasteis de Belem, then go to the Time Out Market and find Manteigaria! They make them fresh all day. The Pasteis is hot and gooey and sweet and delicious!!!

This was one of two of our favorite Pasteles de Nata shops in Lisbon. The lines seem to always be long but they move fast! The egg tarts have a great flaky texture and are perfectly sweet. They definitely live up to their reputation!

This place was solid and it was right by my hotel. It wasn't my favorite, but it was a worthy pastel de nata still.

A must stop when you're in Portugal! We were told there is another version in Belem, but we were unable to make it there. This place was also recommended, and it was interesting to watch the whole pastel process! Be prepared to wait in line, but the line moves quickly! You are served pastels freshly made and warm! We were happy to try them since it is a popular item in Portugal, If you are also a coffee lover, the coffee was ok, but found tastier coffees, on our travels through Lisbon

This was my first time trying a pastel de nata and I definitely came to the right place. I loved how flavorful the filling was and the texture of the pastry. It was super flakey, yet creamy at the same time.

One of the best versions of pasteis de natas in Portugal. Absolutely love their variation and it is more light and fresh compared to most out there Highly recommend checking this out over other popular spots. We also tried the delicious sweet drink offered in store that is a must!

Whelp...I'm officially hooked on pastei de nata. Manteigaria is well-known as one of Lisbon's most popular fabrica de nata shops, and for good reason -- they've truly mastered the art of creating the most incredible pastei de nata, with a perfectly creamy, custardy center, delightfully bruleed top, and the most incredible, flaky crust. They do run a little bit sweet compared to most other Portuguese shops, but it's still one of the most incredible pastries you'll ever have. And, when paired with a nice bitter espresso, it's perfect. As you walk through the streets of Baixa, you'll be lured in by the incredible scent of pastei de nata baking away. Eventually, the sweet, buttery fragrance will lead you to this small, but often crowded shop, where you'll have the joy of seeing a giant pastry case of exclusively pastei de nata, as well as a window into their back kitchen -- if you're lucky, you'll even get to see the magic come together as they whip up a new batch! They have a narrow counter along the window into their kitchen, where you can stand and enjoy your pastries and coffee. However, there isn't any seating, so most people will only stick around for at most ~15 minutes.

This place was recommended by our night tour guide (walked by it en route to a miradouro). They specialize in Pastel de Natas. Saw a long queue around 8:30pm and was curious. We came back the next day early afternoon to try. Because they Pastel de Natas are in such demand they don't sit around all day. They are continously baked fresh, as seen through glass windows separating the counter space from the kitchen. We each ordered one and sprinkled some cinnamon on top. The tart was still warm. The pastry shell was so crispy and light. The charred topping was almost creme brulee-esque. The egg yolk custard on the inside was creamy and soft, unlike the kind you get in the states (which is almost gel-like). We've tried other Pastel de Natas from other places near us but Manteigaria is one of the best, if not the best.

My friends and I went to several places to find the very best - ladies and gentlemen, this is it!! Can't give a higher rating for this pastry. They have mastered the art of baking these. The end result is a warm, buttery, flakey, heavenly bite of goodness. Don't forget to sprinkle cinnamon on top! While you eat, you can watch them make these from scratch. Service is fast - they really have a system down to get through a lot of people and hand these over fresh! It's a small place, but welcoming. You really have to visit this place if you're in Portugal... like I said, it's the absolute best you can get.
