About Confeitaria Nacional
Portugal's oldest operating pastelaria since 1829 with original 19th-century woodwork and glass display cases filled with regional sweets. The crystal chandeliers and marble counters have served everyone from royalty to modern-day locals grabbing morning pasteis de nata.
Insider Tips
