Since today was a Sunday and my family and I were a bit tired we decided to have a chill day and spend some time together. So we started the day by sleeping in until noon and then we went to have brunch in a pastelaria in Monte Estoril. A pastelaria is a mixture of a cafe and a bakery shop and here in Portugal people have a routine of going to these pastelarias to have breakfast, lunch or just a snack. So we went to this place called Zenith Pastelaria, Salão De Chá. It is a lovely cafe that we discovered about a month ago and I really like to come here and order my usual and have a nice chat with whoever I am with. This place has my favourite pastries and also it has a modern design, like tables made from mirrors - so it is very hard not to look at yourself all the time! :)
I usually
order galão(latte), a sandwich that is made from puff pastry and has butter, ham,
cheese, lettuce and tomato inside.
Russo
is my favourite sweet pastry and because you have to finish brunch with
something sweet I had to order one. It is made from puff pastry, it has
a vanilla and cinnamon flavoured cream inside and it is dusted with
icing sugar and cinnamon. It looks so tempting and trust me when I say
this - it's the BEST! And of course they had Pastel de Natas which I'm not going to write about now, but you can expect a post on it soon!
After we had a very nice brunch we went on a beautiful and relaxing walk on the beach. The ocean was stunning as always, and today was the fist warm day (it was around 18℃ )and finally it was so nice to be able to wear a jacket instead of my winter coat.
While
we were having brunch I took some photos of the place and the food, so I
could show you guys what a real Portuguese pastelaria looks like.
