Pedro Pereira always had a passion for baking bread, but it was something he did sporadically on a farm alongside his main career in music. When the pandemic shut down all stages, he had to turn to his second love and build his own business. That’s how Peter Pão was born, located near the Estoril-Praia stadium. Compared to other bakeries, it's a relatively small operation, producing between 100 and 200 loaves a day.
They offer nine different varieties, with more wholegrain options than most competitors, and use primarily organic flours, some of which are artisanal, sourced from a windmill in the Serra de Montejunto. They supply cafés, restaurants, and grocers, with several outlets beyond their shop in Alcabideche. Their Pão do Moinho (€2.80) is the bestseller, but the paleo bread (€3.80) and spelt and rye bread (€3.80) are also popular choices. In addition to bread, they are known for their croissants and biscuits.
