Viana do Castelo Restaurant Tips by ntm2322

Restaurant Name: Confeitaria Natário

Portugal has the best industry pastry in Europe, you will be surprisingly delighted about the whole range of cakes, doughnuts and little pastries right in front of your eyes.

The Portuguese Bolas de Berlim are inspired from the Berliner Ballens sold in German and Central Europe (in English-speaking countries are simply called doughnuts and filled mainly with jam).

Bolas de Berlim are made from sweet yeast dough fried in oil and the yellow filling cream (creme pasteleiro) inserted after a half-length cut is always visible.

Bolas de Berlim may or not be lightly sprinkled with ice sugar. In this place they aren´t.

Favorite Dish: This pastry shop sells traditional pastries and while drinking a superb coffee you may eat either a Bola de Berlim or a Pastel de Nata, or even the delicious Palmier or Bolo de Arroz, there is an indefinite range of pastries to choose from.

Restaurant Name: Confeitaria Natário

If you come to Viana and don’t know what kind of biscuits to buy to bring back home then my suggestion is “Biscoitos de Viana” produced by Confeitaria Natário. Confeitaria, Pastelaria, etc., these words they all mean “pastry shop”.

You don’t even have to be searching the address I am providing. Just ask somebody where Natário is and then he/she will immediately tell you. In terms of traditional local pastries, biscuits, coffees, etc., this is the right place to go, it is indeed a very popular place among locals.

Biscoitos de Viana are slightly sweet, not greasy at all, after tasting one it will leave a special feeling in your mouth and you can’t help eating a second and a third.
