In Taipa Village,
the Manteigaria’s Pastel de Nata is gold on the outside and sweetness on the inside.

In Macau, gold brings prosperity and sweetness brings joy. The Manteigaria’s Pastel de Nata brings both.

Taipa is where the memory of Portugal in China still persists: in the Portuguese sidewalks, in the tiles of the houses, in the leisurely rhythm of the village streets. The island maintains its picturesque side in an identity that is both oriental and European.

On Rua do Regedor, Manteigaria is part of the village’s fabric as if it had always been there. More than a sweet treat, a Pastel de Nata accompanied by a Chá Gordo is a ritual, a pause to contemplate Taipa Village. The sweetest bridge between two distinct cultures.

What to do in Taipa while eating our pastel de nata

  • The Rua do Cunha is the main artery of Taipa Village, partially pedestrianized and always busy. With shops of all kinds and restaurants serving Macanese and Portuguese cuisine side by side, this is where you can feel the pulse of the Village at any time of day.
  • The Taipa Houses-Museum are five colonial houses from 1921, painted green and white, which served as residences for high-ranking officials of the colonial administration and Macanese families. Today they form a museum complex with a garden, a living memory of daily life during the colonial period, with views over Avenida da Praia. It is one of the eight most important monuments in Macau, which you cannot miss.
  • Built in 1844, the Taoist temple of Pak Tai, dedicated to the Emperor of the North, is one of the most active on the island. The incense, offerings, and golden statues create an atmosphere that contrasts with the Portuguese pavement of the square in front. It is, genuinely, one of the most Macanese settings in the Village.
  • Avenida da Praia unfolds along the southern coast of Taipa, with benches in the shade of trees, lily ponds, and the Houses-Museum in the background. It is the serene counterpoint to the lively rhythm of Rua do Cunha.
  • The Museu de História da Taipa e Coloane is housed in the former Islands Town Hall building, constructed in the early 20th century. It documents the history of the two islands from the arrival of the Hokkien fishermen to the Portuguese administration and the return to Chinese sovereignty in 1999.
  • Largo Maia de Magalhães is one of the most peaceful squares in the Village, surrounded by colorful houses, shops, cafes, and spaces dedicated to the arts with programming linked to the identity and culture of Macau.
  • Pou Tai Un is a Buddhist monastery with a garden and centuries-old trees, just minutes from Taipa Village. One of the most peaceful and unexpected places in Macau.

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.
