About portuguese bakeries
The pastel de nata – a blistered custard tart in a crackling puff-pastry shell – has done more than anything else to put Portuguese baking on the British map. But a proper pastelaria offers far more: soft papo-seco rolls, coconut queijadas, pão de Deus with its sugary coconut crust, bolas de Berlim stuffed with custard, and strong little coffees drunk standing at the counter. Communities in Lambeth, Jersey, Norfolk, Thetford and elsewhere have kept these traditions thriving for decades.
What to order
- Pastel de nata – The custard tart that started it all – eat it warm with a dusting of cinnamon.
- Papo-seco – A crusty, crackly roll that makes the perfect ham-and-cheese sandwich.
- Bola de Berlim – A sugared doughnut split and filled with egg custard.
- Pão de Deus – Soft brioche-like bun topped with a sweet coconut crust.
- Queijada – A small, dense tart made with cheese or coconut, depending on the region.
