The experience
Founded in 1829 on Praça da Figueira, this is Lisbon's oldest pastry shop, still run by the same family. The gilded, mirrored ground floor sells pastéis de nata and a wide range of traditional Portuguese cakes and pastries, with a quieter tea room upstairs. It is famous for its bolo-rei, the crowned fruit cake that is a Portuguese Christmas fixture.
A near-200-year-old pastelaria on a grand Baixa square, for classic Portuguese cakes.
