Manteigaria between History and Modernity

Belém is one of the most prestigious areas of Lisbon. It’s where the President of the Republic lives, where the city’s iconic tower is located, and where the Discoveries are celebrated in one of Portugal’s most famous monuments.

Stock up before setting off to discover the history, arts and architecture of the area; there’s always a fresh batch of Pastéis de Nata coming out of the two Manteigaria factories in Belém.

How to get to Manteigaria in Belém

What to do in Belém while you eat our Pastel de Nata?

Belém has history, culture, and a view over the Tagus River that begs to be savored with a Pastel de Nata in hand. With a box of half a dozen under your arm to keep your energy levels up, take the opportunity to:

  • See the collection at Jardim Botânico Tropical, a true living museum.
  • Be amazed by the Museu dos Coches, with some carriages as golden as one of our Pastéis de Nata.
  • Explore the CCB and its contemporary art exhibitions.
  • Go to MAAT: Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia and see what the future may hold for us.
  • Climb the Torre de Belém for one of the best views over the river.
  • Stroll along the riverbank to the Padrão dos Descobrimentos.
  • Sit on a bench by the Tagus River and watch the boats go by.
  • Or stay at Manteigaria de Belém and watch us make the next batch. It’s a spectacle in itself.

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.
