I didn’t think that egg tarts could ever be this delicious until I tried the Portuguese egg tarts from Portugal, and especially the ones from Manteigaria.

The pastry has a croissant-like texture - very buttery and flaky, but more caramelised and slightly chewier. The egg custard literally melts in your mouth into almost a cream. The ones from here have a stronger hint of cinnamon than those from other shops which interestingly enough is what makes this egg tart so tasty; even better than those from the famous Belem shop.

Definitely should get some from here when in Lisbon - at only €1 each, you won’t just stop at one!
