Lisboa, Nata & Cafe is a newly opened cafe in Jeddah that specializes in the famous Portuguese pastry, pastel de nata.
The name of the cafe fuses the Portuguese capital, Lisboa, with the traditional dessert.
The recipe for nata, the custard-like filling of the pastry, is more than 200 years old, and contains egg yolks, flour, butter and sugar. The crunchy exterior is a fine puff pastry. Many Portuguese towns and cities features regional dessert varieities, but pastel de nata can be found across the country.
The cafe also offers another Portuguese dessert called the pillow filled with almonds. There is also a Portuguese croissant, a mix between a classical French croissant and a brioche pastry.
Located on Prince Saud Al-Faisal Street, Al-Khalidiyyah district. For more information visit the cafe’s Instagram account @lisboa.ksa.
