It is important to start the day off with a great breakfast. That is exactly what we did at Fabrica da Nata.
It was an amazing place. It smelled wonderful when you walked in. They were making the pastel de nata’s right in front of everyone. They were making ham and cheese one while we were there but we did not get to try them since they were not ready yet.
They offered great breakfast prices. We each got a ham and Swiss croissant or baguette, a café latte, and a pastel de nata and the total came to under 12 Euros.
The pastel de nata’s were a little different than the other ones we tried. They were warm because they just came out of the oven. They were really creamy. The crust was very different. It was crispier. Not like a flakey pie crust, crispy almost like phyllo dough.
The croissant was fresh and flakey. The ham and cheese were just simple ingredients but absolutely satisfying.
The café latte was larger than we expected but warmed us up on the chilly morning. The coffee in Portugal is spectacular.
Fabrica da Nata is a great place to go for breakfast. It is also one of the only places that were open at 8:30 in the morning. Most places do not open till a little later.
