The golden temptation of the city of Braga

Braga is a city full of history and tradition, where the most traditional sweet of all could not be missing. Among the flowers of Avenida da Liberdade and the neoclassical or Art Deco buildings, here the Pastel de Nata melts in your mouth while you watch it being made. Golden or more toasted, but made with love and dedication, the Pastel de Nata is a temptation that the people of Braga cannot resist.

How to get to Bragas’ Manteigaria

Avenida da Liberdade is in the city center. Since it’s pedestrianized, you have to walk to Manteigaria. There are several buses to this area, stopping at Avenida Central further up and Rua do Raio further down. If you come by train, it’s a 15-minute walk, mostly through the historic center. In fact, Braga is a city that’s easily explored on foot or by bicycle. Mark Manteigaria on Avenida da Liberdade as a reference point and plan your route from there.

I tried these pastéis and coffee today and loved them. This is the perfect place to try a Portuguese pastel and have a coffee. The espresso was delicious. It was so much fun watching them make the Pastel de Nata. They make these pastéis fresh, so when you eat them, they literally just came out of the oven. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting Porto!

The Pastel de Nata here is amazing! It's made fresh and served still warm. If you buy more than one to take away, they even give you a pretty little box. Great place!

Amazing!! The best Pastel de Nata in Porto. The outside was crispy and flaky, while the filling was soft, rich, and silky. We liked it so much that we went back three times!

Traveling through Porto for the first time (and Portugal in general), I decided to try this famous local cake. I must say I fell in love with this sweet and delicious treat. I'd give a Nobel Prize to whoever invented it! But be warned: it's like a drug—once you try it, you can't stop eating it all day. I really enjoyed it, and Manteigaria is definitely one of the best places to find it.
