Portuguese egg tarts have become synonymous with Macau. Although this pastry hails from Portugal, it was adapted to local tastebuds and has become a hit. Portuguese egg tarts are buttery, sometimes crumbly and the custard is creamy, sweet and slightly caramelized.

Lord Stow’s Bakery

(See featured image above)

For Englishman Andrew Stow, 1990 was a double celebration year for the founder of the popular egg tart recipe. Besides his daughter’s birthday, it was also when he created this famous delicacy! Clearly different from the original Portuguese dessert, it has become an icon in Macau and a must-eat snack. With a soft, flaky exterior and even softer custard, it isn’t as sweet as the ones served in their country of origin. Maybe that’s the reason why they are so sought-after! Every Lord Stow’s shops are full of people looking for what has already become a local snack.

Egg Tart Koi Kei Bakery

Koi Kei Bakery

How could one imagine Koi Kei’s empire to have started like this? In the egg tart business since 1997, the Portuguese-style egg tarts from this company are usually one of the first things you see when looking at their shops. Here, you can be sure they’re freshly made daily and its one of our favorite places to get Portuguese egg tarts in Macau. We highly recommend these egg tarts to be enjoyed warm. Koi Kei’s egg tarts are flaky and buttery on the outside and sweet on the inside; with a hint of spices; this is a fulfilling snack with a homey comfort to it.

Margarets Egg Tart

Margaret’s Café e Nata

The place is small but cozy, with a few tables outside, and they also serve pita bread sandwiches, fresh juices, and other snacks. This is another spot where you can find the best Portuguese egg tarts in Macau. You can eat them in the shop or take a box home to share with your loved ones. With a strong egg custard taste, experience one of Macau’s most typical flavors for a very reasonable price. Its crust is softer than most, so expect it to be less flaky compared to Portuguese tarts from other shops.

Margaret’s Café e Nata 17B Rua do Comandante Mata e Oliveira, Kam Loi Building, Macau, +853 2871 0032

egg tart from San Hou Lei

Estabelecimento de Comidas San Hou Lei

There can never be too many egg tart shops in Macau, so we’ve included this one as well! They have other interesting flavors besides the usual Portuguese-style egg custard tart, namely bird’s nest, and coconut. While worth a try, better to stick to the original one if you are looking to taste the real deal. Located in the heart of Taipa Village, it boasts a nice local atmosphere.

San Hou Lei’s egg tarts are chunkier and heavier than most. While this might be what some look for, they don’t look as Portuguese as the ones from other brands. With a strong egg taste, the exterior is a little oilier, ideal for those looking for something strongly flavored.

Estabelecimento de Comidas San Hou Lei 3–14 Rua do Regedor, Taipa Village, +853 2882 7313

Egg tart Pastel de Nata Cuppa Coffee Macau

Cuppa Coffee

This Portuguese bakery serves different kinds of egg tarts aside from the classic ones. Cuppa Coffee also serves good coffee, pastries, fresh bread, and meals. Besides this, they also sell their egg tarts to other shops around the city. Choose from classic, green tea, and chocolate, or try all three! You will not only love them but want to bring some home.

The green tea egg tart’s texture is creamier than most. With an authentic green tea flavor and a fragrant scent, this is why innovation can be just as good or even better than the original. Chocolate is clearly for the chocoholics and then there’s the classic. While warm, the crust is so flaky and buttery that one easily forgets that there’s still the custard to taste! Get to the middle and you’ll understand why some say these are the best egg tarts in town.

Cuppa Coffee 104–106 Rua de Fernão Mendes Pinto, Taipa, +853 28825201, www.facebook.com/cuppacoffee.macau

145 Av. Comercial de Macau, Macau, +853 2838 9916, www.instagram.com/cuppacoffee.macau
