I Love pastels de Nata , i had some when i was in Lisbon last Year it's sooo good ❤

A pastel de nata snd a bica is what many portuguese have for breakfast in the early morning before going to work, eating and drinking them at their local pastelaria/café (pastelaria is a pastry shop).

Nothing like a pastel de Nata and Bica to start the day off right. In reality they're good any time of the day. Counting the days to devour some more. Cheers

We tried those same 3 last fall in Lisbon. My wife and I both ranked them Manteigaria, Pastéis de Belém, and finally Fabrica de Nata, as we like them on the "burnt" end of the spectrum. We ate lunch at Belem in the "big room" farther back from where you sat, and the toasties and other dessert items were delicious and surprisingly inexpensive. Highly recommended for folks who are spending the day touring the sites around the tower, monastery, etc. In Gaia, we tried some of the different flavors at Natas D' Ouro, next to the lower station for the Teleferico. While they were interesting, they were certainly not as good as the others.

Thanks for watching on for sharing your experience. They are tasty for sure. What other flavors do they have at Natas D' Ouro?

@@chrisplusmelissa We tried the chocolate, orange, and lemon, plus they have port and caipirinha flavors. We spent 9 days in Lisbon and Porto, and I don't recall seeing such flavors at any other pastelaria. Curious, have you tried ovos moles? We didn't make it to Aveiro, but I bought some in Porto. Not a fan, LOL!

Fábrica da Nata is my favourite place to eat pastels in Lisbon too. They really are the best!

Thank you 😋

These are some of my favorite treats to make, and boy howdy are they awesome fresh out of the oven. They are a labor of love to make them from scratch but totally worth it to have them. Plus they are still really good the next day with a quick reheat in the oven.

We may have to try making some. Sounds like a fun project. Sadly, Melissa has learned she's allergic to dairy and some gluten so things have changed a bit in her food-tasting adventures. Thanks for watching!

@@chrisplusmelissa I've been working on dairy and gluten free baking for friends who need it, and I'm trying out a new dairy and gluten free egg tart recipe for Easter when I get back from Ireland. I'll see how it goes and pass it along if it's close to my traditional recipe. Cheers and keep up the great videos!

I'm born , raised and living in Lisbon and I assure you that you can heat (like 30-40 seconds, and then let rest for a minute) a pastel de nata in the microwave and that will do the trick!

Oh boy we have those in town, just harder to find here otherwise I really really would eat WAY too much :D

I don't like to put powdered sugar, I just put cinnamon powder 😋

You "wasted" your time going to Belém in search of the perfect Pastel de Nata. They don't sell them there, they only sell Pastéis de Belém, which are different and exclusive to them. Everyone else calls them Pastéis de Nata because the Pastéis de Belém name and brand are trademarked. If I had to make a technological analogy, I'd say that Pastés de Belém are proprietary software and Pastéis de Nata are open source software. Well, at least you experienced the taste of the incomparable Pastéis de Belém.🙂

I don't think italian coffee is as good as portuguese one. Why? It is too roasted, almost burnt.

It is because makes it cheaper, they just add milk and corn starch as thickener.

Hi there. Please, don't take this the wrong way but could you avoid calling a Pastel de Nata, Pastel de Nada? "De nada", in Portuguese, means (in a rough translation) "Of nothing". So, when you approach someone at a counter and ask for a couple of "Pasteis de Nada" (or Pasteis of Nothing, if you will) it could lead to a bit of confusion... Other than that it was enjoyable to watch.

@@chrisplusmelissa Haha... Not at all. (And I'm aware of the fact that some people in the states pronounce "T"s as "D"s in some words like, for example, "Dakoda" instead of Dakota. It's just little bit disconcerting, that's all...

Just give them a break, at least they're trying. Some tourists would call them custard tarts, and that's it.

Don't add powdered sugar to the pastel de nata, it is like a crime. No portuguese adds it, it is sweet enough as it is. That is just a tourist thing. If you see someone adding powdered sugar it is most likely a tourist. In most portuguese cafes you won't even have it, just cinnamon.

Disagree :) and I'm 100% Portuguese. Powder sugar and cinnamon where since I remember available to top up the Pasteis de Nata, way back the turistic boom.

Nata not nada try to pronounce the T and not the D. Good job.

Nope...sorry....back to Canada 🇨🇦 for more butter tarts.
