If you want to get a taste of Lisbon but don’t have time for a trip, we may have found a quick fix for you.
The newest pastelaria located in Dublin 2, Lisboa, opens today and they’ll be giving away 500 free pastéis de natas to the first customers who stop by from 12pm onwards. These “world-famous” Lisbon traditional pastries consist of a crispy puff pastry enclosing a gooey vanilla custardy centre. They will be baked on-site in the new Dublin deli every day, using the best traditional recipe.
The pastelaria, inspired by Portugal’s capital, specialises in Portuguese pastries, traditional sandwiches, salads and new roasted coffee to go, so there are a few options for you if you’re feeling peckish on your lunch break. Other than the freebies, you can try different flavours of the pastéis de natas which include chocolate, raspberry and blueberry. Their specialty coffee has vegan options available too.
