Fodor's Expert Review Pastelaria Conventual Pão de Rala

A few minutes from Igreja de São Francisco you'll find this pastry shop specializing in regional sweets. Set in a small house between two cobblestone streets, it stands out with its green doors and terra-cotta roof. Inside, traditional Portuguese tiles decorate the walls, but it's hard to look away from the sweets displayed behind the glass counter. The specialty is pão de rala, a delicious cake combining egg yolks, almonds, sugar, and lemon zest.
