Few desserts have achieved iconic status quite like the Pastel de Nata, Portugal’s legendary custard tart. But to call it just a custard tart hardly does it justice.
The Pastel de Nata dates back to the 18th century, when monks at Lisbon’s Jerónimos Monastery used leftover egg yolks to create delicate, caramelised pastries. When the monastery closed, the recipe passed to a local bakery in Belém , and from there, Portugal’s most famous export was born.Today, this flaky, golden pastry with its creamy, gently scorched custard filling has become a symbol of Portuguese hospitality, simple, elegant, and deeply satisfying.
At Bar Douro, we’re proud to serve one of Portugal’s most beloved treats as the perfect finale to your meal. Our Pastel de Nata offers the authentic flavours of Lisbon, buttery pastry, silky custard, and a touch of cinnamon warmth, bringing a little piece of Portugal to London. For the full experience, pair it with a Portuguese Bica (espresso) or a glass of 10 year old Tawny Port.
Whether you’re visiting for lunch, dinner, or just something sweet after a glass of wine, the Pastel de Nata is a must-try, a bite-sized reminder of why Portuguese cuisine continues to enchant Londoners and visitors alike. Come and discover why so many call it the best Pastel de Nata in London, right here at Bar Douro.
