A beautiful and eye-catching range of traditional Portuguese sweets. They have a fancy and fine-dining touch to the sweets which takes it to a next level. Their flaky pastries are nice.

a bit pricy but very attractive desserts and sweets. Well-decorated and fine looking. Mainly Portuguese traditional sweets. Nice and tasty.

Birthday Morning HAD to start with a Pastel da Nata. We were recommended this place by my colleague who lives in Lisbon as the best Pastel da Nata's and she wasn't wrong. So delicious. Creamy custard filling and a flaky pastry. The perfect snack and the perfect start to the day. Good coffee too, extra points from me.

Amazingly delicious pastries - of course I had the pastel de Nata, but also another one whose name I can neither pronounce nor remember that was on a "best of" list. It all disappeared very quickly and I was left with a very happy tummy. Nice, professional staff. Super busy area, even in January.

Fabulous service and food. We stopped here on a lazy Sunday afternoon, after visiting the LX Factory area. We ordered a full chicken (which took a long time to prepare!!!) but was so worth the wait. The chicken was the best we had on our 16 day trip in Portugal. The rice was also exceptionally good. The prices were ridiculously low given the quality of the service and the food. Seek out this gem. It is worth it! We liked it so much we went back a second time.

Homemade food served with friendliness and at a good price.

You are very nice, but the food is terrible!

Sugar and flour without any flavor, too sweet with outrageous prices for what you get, one tiny bite size macaron type, a mini pastry and water for 9 euros. There are many excellent pastry’s shops in the city, avoid this one and get delicious pastries de bats for 1.20 euros across the street or and fantastic Italian gelato (the hazelnut was out of this world).

Pastelaria Alcoa was okay. The natas were decent, and their award winning and popular almond-based pastries may not have fit my taste buds.
It was a disappointment, the prices are high for the quality, to be honest nothing is really good, I went to Corte Inglés shop, and is better if you try the others bakeries there, they are cheaper and best quality

Such an incredible place. They have a few more modern patries, but the bulk of items are from old recipes that involve egg yolk as main ingredient. In one case, the pudim de são bernardo, the only ingredients are egg yolk and brown sugar. I tried 5 things and all were great. Of course the pastel de nata is great, but you can great ones at plenty of places in Lisbon (remember that they're always better warm). But if you can only get one thing, go for the Delicia do Convento (Covenant Delight), made with egg yolk, sugar, almonds and walnut (no regular flour at all). Just a spectacular pastry. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly on each of my three visits. Can't recommend this place enough.

Established in 1957 Pastelaria Alcôa takes a more in-depth approach to baking than many of its competitors in Lisbon, a focus on the Cistercian monks of Sta. Maria de Alcobaça and Cós yielding several items not seen elsewhere. Well-regarded across multiple locations, self-proclaimed “Masters in Conventual Sweets” suggesting premium prices at the small storefront on Rua Garrett, customer service is far less cordial than at Santo António or Mexicana while the Pastel de Nata is not nearly so flaky or delicate. Producing mostly products built around Egg Yolks, the Pampilho offering a soggy sponge swirled with Custard, better bites included a Sugar-shellacked Palmier and Almond-based Tart, though the only real standout was a “Torrao Real” that eats like Castanha Ovo beneath shards of crystalized Caramel.

Fantastic service and unique pastry. Definitely worth a visit. Go for the cornucópia and the barrigas de freira
