Best Bakeries in Portugal

Portugal is custard-tart country. The pastel de nata, born at the Jerónimos monastery in Belém and still made there daily since 1837, has become a global phenomenon, and dozens of Lisbon bakeries build their identity around it. Beyond the nata, Portuguese confeitaria traditions include bolo rei, pão de ló, and queijadas, and historic houses like Confeitaria Nacional (since 1829) continue to serve them.
