A pastéis de nata—which translates directly as “cream pâtisserie”—is a classic pastry of Portuguese cuisine. It is a delicious custard, enjoyed cold, warm, or hot. In Portugal, this popular dessert is found everywhere and is enjoyed by all. Natas are sold in large restaurants, as well as in small stores, pâtisseries and artisanal bakeries.
