Pastel de Nata · Porto

Egg custard tart in crisp puff pastry, dusted with cinnamon and icing sugar, eaten fresh from the oven at Porto shops such as Manteigaria and Castro.

The pastel de nata grew out of the pastéis de Belém, created before the 18th century by monks at the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon. After the monastery closed in 1834 the recipe went to a nearby sugar refinery, whose owners opened the Fábrica de Pastéis de Belém in 1837. In Porto, Manteigaria has shops at Bolhão, Clérigos, Santa Catarina and Largo São Domingos, Castro runs an atelier, and Fábrica da Nata and Nata Lisboa also have shops.
