Pastelaria Conventual Pão de Rala

Évora


The azulejo-covered walls (complete with a bakery scene) and low-playing fado create a fine setting for nibbling on heavenly pastries and convent cakes, all made on the premises. Don’t miss the pão de rala (an egg-yolk, sugar, lemon-zest and almond cake) – it’s sweet stuff and wonderfully sinful.
