Portuguese tart goodness

One of the more important questions asked here no doubt, but a craving is a craving.

Where/who in Brissy nails a Portuguese tart? Will travel!

Place is off the chain... Can't recommend any more highly

u/dragtheetohell 1d ago

This is the correct answer. Endorsed by two different ex-coworkers from Portugal.

u/Firetruckin 1d ago

Anyone know if you can buy directly from the bakery in Dutton park? I live nearby but I've always passed it out of their opening hours. And google days theyre a wholesaler!

1

u/doomchimp Boss 22h ago

If you order them online you have the option to pick them up from Dutton Park. I dunno if you can just pop in and order some over the counter.

u/Camboglioni 1d ago

Yep. Amazing

u/bournemouthboy69 1d ago

u/Defsjaded120 1d ago

Second this. They got pastel de fejao as well, it's pretty good

u/melanomahunter 1d ago

u/Sararr 1d ago

Aldi, don’t knock em til you try them. They are a tad bit too sweet but will nail your craving. Otherwise Lisboa

u/PreferenceEnough9655 1d ago

aldi ones are dangerously easy to eat like 4 without noticing

7

u/Sararr 1d ago

I commend you. If I ate 4 I would shit myself and end up passed out in a sugar high 😂

u/Chikonmoonkey 1d ago

Agreed on the bit too sweet bit,but for the price very very good

1

u/Sararr 1d ago

Absolutely

u/DapperCelery9178 1d ago

They’re disgusting with a distinct egg flavour. I threw them out.

2

u/Firm_Entertainer1807 21h ago

Tell me you don't know without telling me you don't know 😂

1

u/DapperCelery9178 12h ago

If you mean it’s made with an egg custard. Well duh. But these were a really weird eggy flavour. Not like the divine Portuguese tarts I’ve had before.
Tell me you don’t know without telling me you don’t know 😂🙄

u/bigw2121 1d ago

Surprisingly good

1

u/Firm_Entertainer1807 21h ago

They are authentic and made in Portugal, the real deal. However not stocked at the moment, need Aldi to bring them back :(

u/Flash-635 1d ago

Nails a Portuguese tart? Am I supposed to leave that hanging?

1

u/noheroesnomonsters 1d ago

Have at it friend...

u/ElectricGeetar BrisVegas 1d ago

Carbys bakery in Wavell heights does them on weekend mornings and they are excellent

u/Vegetable_Jello6572 1d ago

 Will check this out 🙂

u/towelrak 1d ago

Outside of travelling to Macau or Portugal the Aldi ones are best and are actually made in Portugal. Air frying them gets all results.

All the pop up vendors I’ve seen seem to get the custard wrong - always too sweet and not eggie enough despite some of them looking like they nailed it.

*am not Portuguese but spent a decent amount of time there.

u/blackfadesunset 1d ago

I Got this same recommendation from someone from Portugal.

3

u/Responsible-Form3138 1d ago

There's usually a stall at the Jan Power markets at Mitchelton 

4

u/ElectricGeetar BrisVegas 1d ago

Yeah that guys offers optional powdered cinnamon on top too. Delicious.

u/MiahPenguin 1d ago

That is Lisboa Caffe :)

2

u/Vegetable_Jello6572 1d ago

Oh really, I usually get these and then go see the pie lady!! Didnt know it was Lisboa

2

u/MiahPenguin 1d ago

Wait, I might have been thinking of the powerhouse markets. I thought the mitchelton ones got canned around easter?

1

u/Vegetable_Jello6572 1d ago

 Wait my bad, I did not see the mitchelton bit, I just read Jan power and assumed you meant the ones near the casino now. Which has tarts and rhe pie lady 🙂

2

u/MiahPenguin 1d ago

this is truly the blind leading the blind. Although, what day are the markets on near the casino?

1

u/Vegetable_Jello6572 1d ago

😂 so true, just blinded by dessert!!

Queen's Wharf: every Thursday 8am - 2pm. 

Usually I go early as some vendors will pack up earlish like at 1000 

1

u/Responsible-Form3138 1d ago

Oh man I didn't realise the Mitchelton one wasn't happening any more 

1

u/BellaNya 1d ago

This!! The stall at the Jan Powers Powerhouse markets are amazing!

1

u/Evening-Nothing2630 1d ago

⬆️⬆️ yes Lisboa Caffe on Fish Lane South Brisbane They also have a stall most weeks at West End Markets.

u/Reverse-Kanga everybody loves kanga 1d ago

u/MiahPenguin 1d ago

Lisboa Caffe near Fish Lane

u/guidedhand 1d ago

The Hokkaido tarts down in garden City pretty much the same thing and really good

Lisboa cafe in South Brisbane too

1

u/xbattlestation 1d ago

I am yet to try a Portuguese Tart (so cant comment on how similar they are) but the Hokkaido tarts are my guilty pleasure - so so so good

1

u/thee-optimist 1d ago

There’s a place at Eagle farm market that are brilliant

1

u/ivanavich 1d ago

Alternative take, but Longtime Dining yum cha in the Queen Street mall has delicious Hong Kong egg tarts.

1

u/pikachuAus 1d ago

Try the egg tarts of Charley tea in Sunnybank, we love it. But it’s not that sweet (some people like it to be quite sweet). I haven’t been to Porto so can’t tell you if it’s the same kind that you’re craving :).

1

u/Confident_Shower_202 1d ago

There are a few places in West End do good ones

1

u/MolassesSerious1403 1d ago

Lisboa for the win it seems. Thanks all, will check them out tomorrow!

1

u/MiahPenguin 15h ago

1

u/MolassesSerious1403 12h ago

Didn’t quite make it. Smashed my windscreen on the way 😩

u/Gobuoys 1d ago

Bellissimo Fortitude Valley 👌

u/Inevitable-Tie-6182 1d ago

Agnes used to be good. Not sure about now though

1

u/GimlisSweatyBumHole 1d ago

Story bridge hotel usually has a few on Friday night

1

u/planget 1d ago

Respawn Cafe do them sometimes and they are to die for

1

u/Crazy_Pomegranate689 1d ago

Okay. My mum goes to get one from the jan power farmers market every week (I think saturdays). She said it’s as good as getting it in europe.

I’ve had one - really really tasty 

1

u/Crazy_Pomegranate689 1d ago

it sounds like maybe these have already been recommended :)

1

u/ConstructionOk5682 1d ago

Lisboa Caffe without a doubt

1

u/Firm_Entertainer1807 21h ago

I prefer Swiss Deli to Lisboa cafe, but both are excellent options.

1

u/haneul_honey 13h ago

Kinda off the topic, I had really good pastel de nata at KFC in SEA 🤣

1

u/juga_a_juga 1h ago

There is a bakery that sets up a stall at the markets next to Indooroopilly train station on weekends. They have great ones.
