“Delicious” is the word that best defines the four suggestions we have for your taste buds on your next visit to Lisbon.
From sweets, both crunchy and soft, to savory dishes filled with tradition, expect to find the key ingredients for an unprecedented tasting experience here. Prepared? Let’s start our journey through the flavors of Lisbon!
Pastel de Belém - Belém custard tart
The typical Portuguese custard tart continues to be an inspiration in sweets in various parts of the world, such as Hong Kong, where it is known as dan tat or egg tart.
Among its ingredients, there is no shortage of lemon, cinnamon, eggs and milk. Also known as ‘natas’, pastéis de nata or pastéis de Belém are a national symbol that arrives at the table in the form of a small tart, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. And speaking of Belém, is there a better place to try them than the Pastéis de Belém Factory? Founded in 1837, this factory has maintained the same (secret!) recipe since its origins, at a time when pastries were made in the Jerónimos Monastery. It’s impossible not to try them as soon as they come out of the oven, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon!
Travesseiro de Sintra - Sintra “Pillow”
To taste the famous “pillow”, a typical Sintra sweet, you must first arrive at this enchanted village. To do this, you just need to go to Rossio Station, take the train towards Sintra and enjoy the ride, where 40 minutes of anticipation give way to a feeling of enchantment upon arrival at the final destination.
Green landscapes come into view amidst a fresh, floral breeze. Habitat for palaces such as Palácio da Pena, castles such as Castelo dos Mouros, and mysterious legends such as the legend of the Tomb of the Two Brothers, Sintra is also the home of delicious sweets, full of tradition. The Casa Piriquita “pillow” one of them. With an egg and almond cream filling and puff pastry sprinkled with sugar, you want it warm and in good company. An ex-libris of the most magical village in Portugal, not to be missed!
Rua Augusta cod pastry
When the coast and the interior come together, unique flavors are born. An example of this is the cod pastry at 106 Rua Augusta, Casa Portuguesa do Pastel do Bacalhau.
Stuffed with Serra da Estrela PDO cheese, this pastry celebrates cod, potatoes, eggs, parsley and olive oil in a recipe that creates a true feast of flavors for the palate.
Like no other, Rua Augusta's cod pastry was inspired by the poem D. Dinis, by Fernando Pessoa: “It's the voice of the earth yearning for the sea”, in homage to the shepherds and fishermen of our country. Have you already let yourself be won over by this delicacy?
Ginjinha do Rossio
It's sweet, has brandy and bears fruit. In this case, it turns out sour cherries, and is known as the famous Rossio ginjinha! Ginjinha Espinheira came to life in 1840 and these days it deserves a mandatory stop. Don't be surprised, therefore, to find dozens of tourists and locals with drinks in hand in Largo de São Domingos, in Rossio.
Sugar, water and cinnamon are three ingredients that cannot be missing from this typically Portuguese liqueur. “It is easier with one hand to grasp ten stars, to make the sun cool, to make the world stick together, but ginja with such virtue is hard to find!” It's really difficult to disagree with this verse that we find right at the entrance to this iconic Lisbon space. Have you had the chance to order your ginjinha?
Now that you know what to try on your next stay in Lisbon, discover what to do in Lisbon in the 4 seasons
