Pastel de Nata from the neighborhood

The sweet taste of home.

Alvalade is one of those neighborhoods where everything is within walking distance, where everything is close by, where people are more approachable. Among traditional markets, independent bookstores, and always-crowded outdoor cafes, there’s a must-stop to sweeten the little moments for those who live here: Manteigaria on Avenida Rio de Janeiro.

Far from the tourist bustle of downtown Lisbon and the high-rise business districts, Alvalade has a residential and very family-oriented atmosphere. Different generations of families share life in this neighborhood with students from the schools and universities located here. It’s so laid-back that it was considered one of the 20 coolest neighborhoods in the world by TimeOut.

And everyone stops by here, for a Pastel de Nata with family, friends, or while waiting for the bus.

How to get to Alvalade’s Manteigaria

Manteigaria de Alvalade is located at Avenida Rio de Janeiro, 44. If you come by metro, the Alvalade station (green line) is the best option. If you choose the bus, the 717 and 744 stop right in front of the store.

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.
