Not quite so ubiquitous as Starbucks, but with locations in nearly every district of Lisbon, A Padaria Portuguesa has grown substantially since and although a “chain” in all ways each store maintains unique design elements to pair with dozens of baked goods and café selections.Perhaps best compared to Panera stateside or Paul in Europe, Sandwiches and Soups offered alongside Pastry, it was shortly after that the location on Praça Luís de Camões was found busy, early arrival assuring warm Pastel de Bacalhau that are generous in size and well prepared without any sense of oiliness.Modern but rooted in tradition, with service designed to turn tables, one would be right to assume A Padaria Portuguesa does big volume in Portugal’s signature Egg Custard Tart, their storage under plastic maintaining temperature but also moisture that makes for a damp Crust but admirable interior.Also offering croquettes de carne and Mil Folhas, the latter crackling to the fork beneath Icing, it would be negligent to exit A Padaria Portuguesa without at least one Pão de Deus, or God’s Bread, featuring the softness of Brioche with plenty of Coconut and even more Butter.
