Café a Piriquita: Travesseiros de Sintra
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Travesseiros consists in a puff pastries stuffed with a sweet eggy mixture... Such as it happened with Queijadas, you can find Travesseiros almost in all country, but those made in Piriquita are delicious... hummm They are served still hot and you almost cry for more :))

    Café a Piriquita: Great local specialties
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I THINK that's what this little pasteleria was called, but I'm not 100% sure. If anyone recognizes it from the pictures, let me know. Anyways, this place provided some shelter when the rain was falling in buckets on my friend and me. We stopped by for some coffee, but when I saw the pastries I just had to try one.

    Andrew ordered the quiche (which he said was great) and I ordered an almond pastry called travesseiro, which is a local specialty and was delicious.

    Café a Piriquita: Yum
  • Tip Rating:
  • There was one older lady and a young girl working here and they didn't speak any English, but they were so kind! They could tell that we were cold and wet from the rain and did their best to warm us up with their smiles and hospitality. The pastry and coffee helped too!!

    Café a Piriquita: Traveseiros
  • Satisfaction:
  • You have got to try traveseiros, which means pillow in Portuguese.

    These are sweets in the shape of a pillow and with a wonderful filling.

    The receipt is secret so no one really knows how's it's made, a little like Coke...
