6.1.10 Fábrica da Nata
Praça dos Restauradores 68
Location HERE.
On the east side of Restauradores, corner of Travessa de Santo Antão.
Another café majoring in Pastéis de Nata. And another location where it’s cooler and more agreeable to sit inside during the summer months as there is an air cooler to take the edge off the heat.
As you sit there and consider the merits of their version of the pastry that first became a thing for the public back in 1837, what look like baking trays slowly move around the room on a ceiling track. Do they serve any purpose? Who knows, and, indeed, who cares? It’s one of those odd details that, once seen, cannot be unseen. But back to the main event.
The coffee is good, the galão served in a handle glass. The Pastéis de Nata are good too, but not as good as those served at either Pastéis de Belém, or indeed Castro. Looks like the clientele is predominantly tourists.
Not expensive, and they also offer a wide range of pastries and sandwiches.
Metro Restauradores; Buses 709, 711, 722, 732, 736, 744 and 759 more or less outside the door.
