Pastelaria Suíça (re)writes the city's history

The tradition of Pastelaria Suíça returns with strength, paying homage to the old house and maintaining the quality that generations were accustomed to. The establishment will have its own production – which means that, in addition to the taste, there's always the inviting aroma of the bakery – and brings back classics such as Duchesse, Esquimó, Tíbia, Babá, and Russo. Traditional Portuguese pastry is also well represented, with delicacies like the Mil-folhas, Bola de Berlim, Palmier and Queques, among others.

Did you know that Pastelaria Suíça was responsible for importing the French croissant to Portugal? Alongside great classics of Portuguese pastry, international gastronomic trends also maintain a prominent place: French croissants with new formats, Éclairs, Paris-Brest and other sweet references are featured in the display.

Other contemporary gastronomic trends also find space here, with light meals such as focaccias, quiches or savory snacks. Now, Pastelaria Suíça becomes a meeting point not only for breakfasts and snacks, but also for light lunches. In every meal, the promise is easy to fulfill: a combination of flavors that you'll want to experience again.

Who remembers the shoe-shiner, a regular presence for a long time on the bakery's terrace? One could argue that he became one of the symbols of the space and, as such, could not be left out of this reinterpretation. Honoring the bakery's past and one of the oldest professions in the downtown area, there is now a sculpture of Mr. Vasco on the terrace, representing all the shoe-shiners of the past and present. It is both a tribute and a personification of Pastelaria Suíça's commitment. After all, Mr. Vasco embodies excellence, passion, care for the customer and the commitment to a unique experience.

From the past to the present, Pastelaria Suíça promises a sweet, very sweet future.
