A Taste of Lisbon

A Passion For Pastries

Flour, cinnamon, eggs, sugar, tradition and modernisation are some of the ingredients used to produce delicious Portuguese pastries. In every café you enter in Lisbon, you will probably find a mouth-watering selection of Bola de Berlim, Pastel de Nata and other sweet treats. During Christmas time, the Bolo Rei is present in every window display. If you are not already a fan, Lisbon will definitely ignite your passion for pastries.

A Typical Treat: Tasquinhas around old Lisbon

The capital city of the great Age of Discoveries has become a place to be discovered itself. Many of its secrets are still hidden around the winding and cobbled streets of the Alfama district, one of the oldest bairros of the city. Certainly one of the best hidden secrets of the city, are its tasquinhas, small cosy restaurants that serve typical homemade dishes.  

There is no better morning than a sunny Lisbon one. The ever-changing light of the morning hours is reflected by the houses perched on the city’s hills. Make sure you enjoy a good breakfast (there are plenty of excellent pastelarias to choose from) because, ironically, the best way to get to know Lisbon is by walking around its steep cobbled streets.
