Description

These traditional natas feature a rich, crème brûlée-style center. While these pastries frequently pop up at seasonal Christmas markets, this spot serves them year-round. The flavor lineup includes classic original, chocolate, and fruit variations like passion fruit. Be aware that the fruit options can divide opinion; while the passion fruit is creamy, the blueberry has been described as tasting somewhat artificial. For purists, the original and chocolate versions deliver an authentic taste that draws direct comparisons to Lisbon.
