The pasteis de nata guide for Cape Town
As mentioned in my previous blog, I realised my friends are obsessed with pasteis de nata. So each one has their “go to” place to get their fix. No need to fly to Portugal – here is your guide to that custard deliciousness.

I first ate their pasteis de nata at Spier Wine Farm but now, always buy it when I am in Stellenbosch in Ryneveld Street.
Recommended by Deanne.
Rosemead Bakery

Worth the drive out to Yzerfontein on the West Coast. Their pasteis is equally matched with their delicious coffee. There is a brewery next door and a long beach, to walk off the carbs.
Yzerfontein is 67 kilometers from Cape Town.

In Voortrekker Road, Maitland, there are loads of other Portuguese delicacies for sale.
Maitland is 7,6 kilometers from Cape Town.
