What people say

"At Pastelaria Alcôa, the true star of the show is their conventual pastry, a category of sweets with deep roots in Portugal's convent and monastery kitchens. As word of their delectable treats spread far and wide, the fame of Pastelaria Alcôa transcended the boundaries of its hometown, Alcobaça, finding a new home in the vibrant streets of Lisbon. Each bite of their pastry is a revelation, a symphony of flavors and textures that pay homage to centuries-old recipes passed down through generations. From the delicate sweetness of the “Diários de Dona Inês” to the rich indulgence “Cornucópias”, every pastry is a testament to the skill and dedication of Pastelaria Alcôa's master pastry chefs. "
"A delicious pastry shop with unique bites. Of course you will find the classic Pasteis but also a ton of their own sweet creations. They’ve won many awards for these sweets. I personally loved the “Manjar do Deuses” it was a small pumpkin and almond cake. "
