The main appeal of
PASTELARIA BÉNARD
can be summed up in one
simple phrase: they serve
some seriously good
traditional pastries. Try the
croissants, the chicken
pies or the
pastéis de nata
(custard tarts), munching
in a rush at the counter
with a
bica
(espresso) as
locals do or take your time
at a table.
