6.1.8 Manteigaria
Branches across Lisbon.
Most recently sampled outlet at Avenida Duque de Ávila 32.
Location HERE
Open every day.
This branch did not have indoor seating, which could be a problem on cold mornings, or when it rains. Some outlets do have it, though.
The coffee was good, but the subject of debate when mention is made of Manteigaria is their Pastéis de Nata. So are theirs the best?
And the answer is that, personal opinion only, they aren’t, but they are rather different to those you will be served at places like Pastéis de Belém. How so? Well, the pastry doesn’t do the “crisp and flake” in the same way, and the filling is slightly less sweet.
Did I get part of a bad batch? Doubtful. The person serving me sought out a sample from a tray that had just emerged from the oven. So they were nice and warm, as you would expect from being served the equivalent in the café at Pastéis de Belem. So not better or worse - just different.
