Piriquita – Antiga Fábrica de Queijadas

After a long day exploring Sintra and tons and tons of walking, this was a great way to end the day. The service here was actually very good and the food was also on point. We ordered the first four items on the menu, their specials and most were kind of eggy and cinnamony but the most amazing one was their travesseiro which looks like a small fluffy pillow. Inside its soft and flaky and it’s like biting into a pillow and the almond and egg filling at the bottom is delicious. All of the food is very reasonably priced and we also got some savory dishes to try and I really liked something that vaguely resembled a chicken pot pie. Quejidas were good also but the Travesseiro we definitely ordered more of. If you’re in Sintra exploring all of the palaces this bakery is not to be missed.

Se vice vier a Sintra nao ppde deixar de passar aqui!
Maravilhoso!
Os famosos travesseiros e queijadas e a imperdivel empada de leitao!

Travesseiro!!! Must try pastry! It is so fluffy and light, though kind of sweet. I was so amazed by this pastry that I ate two in one day! There are places to sit and eat as well as taking pastries to go, so you have options. The queijada was alright too, it’s different than other pastries I’ve eaten, and their egg tarts are also quite good! Highly highly highly recommend if you’re in Sintra!

I don’t know, I stumbled upon this place on my way out of Sintra and looked it up, it felt like I couldn’t live without checking it out. Situated in a quaint corner, it’s hard to miss because of the line to get seated or order to go.
We’ve ordered one of pretty much everything, very curious about the queijadas, but also intrigued by the other pastels, including the travesseiro. It’s a matter of tastes, I wasn’t impressed by anything, at least not as much as I’ve come to otherwise crave the pastels de natas. Which, by the way, they also have, but in a slightly different version vs. the one in Belem. Well, those were good.
I enjoyed the ambiance and the terrace, the cappuccino was alright. Would I come back again? Considered the line, probably not, but the experience was fun, especially after a long walk around the city.

That travesseiro? One hundred stars.

Très bonnes patisseries typique mais je regrette que cet endroit soit énormément bruyant.

Un imprescindible en la visita a Sintra, la Queijada, el Travesseiro y el Pastel de Sintra, ¡deliciosos!
Las colas para llevar son interminables, pero todo tiene una razon… El personal, en mi opinión ineficiente e insuficiente para tal pasteleria, no daba a vasto.
Es mejor pasar a la terraza, en la que tambien hay que esperar un rato hasta que te atienden y te sirven. Eso si, ¡la espera merece la pena por la calidad del producto!
Sin duda necesitan mejorar su atención al cliente para conseguir 5 estrellas. El personal debe de estar a la altura de la fama que ostenta la pasteleria.

Famous bakery and pastries, I must say it lived up to the expectations. Pastries were still warm and very tasty!

De délicieuses pâtisseries portugaises sont proposées dans cette petite institution où la foule se presse de rentrer.
N’oubliez pas de prendre un ticket pour pouvoir passer commande! Malgré la longue file d’attente, le service est très rapide. Il est possible de s’installer à l’intérieur ou de prendre à emporter.
Les travesseiros, les pastel de nata ou les pasteis de feijao sont un délice… Pour qui aime le sucre très sucré! Les prix sont très abordables, donc si vous hésitez, prenez les deux!

This place is apparently very famous for the travesseiro which are puff pastry filled with almond and egg. There was a decent line when I got there but you can grab a number and wait for it to be called — it doesn’t take too long. I definitely enjoyed them but I can’t say they totally lived up to the hype. Maybe if they were fresh out of the oven I would like them more
Don’t get me wrong, they’re definitely tasty, but not a must-​stop place in Sintra

I’m surprised there’s no review of this place especially since there was a line out the door. I suppose everyone else is using tripadvisor.
Getting a table was faster than waiting for take away. If you are getting take away, please remember to take a number.
If you can only get one thing, the travesseiros is a must! Otherwise, go ahead and order everything you see. The prices were reasonable from what I remember.
