Honest verdict on Pastel de Nata — good but not exceptional

Pastel de Nata here was solidly made — smoky and robust without anything to complain about. fresh sardines was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

pastéis de nata originated in Belém monastery in the 18th century. The a pastelaria morning coffee atmosphere was pleasant enough. Port wine was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Pastel de Nata this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
