Caramelised egg custard tart in a shatter-crisp puff pastry shell, dusted with cinnamon and icing sugar. Manteigaria and Castro Atelier on Rua das Flores produce the Porto reference, baked at 280C for the scorched top.

The pastel de nata was created by monks at the Jeronimos Monastery in Lisbon in the early 19th century. Manteigaria opened a Porto branch on Rua do Almada in 2018, baking 800 nata per day to the original Belem secret-recipe approximation. Castro Atelier de Pasteis de Nata on Rua das Flores is the modern Porto-born specialist.
