Recommendations

"My favourite Travesseiro of all is at Casa do Preto. The Travesseiros here are warm and there's a generosity in the almond cream as well as sugar. It was everything that I had hoped it would be. Each bite is like a deep sigh; it's a collapse of pastry, sugar and cream in the mouth and suddenly it's finished and the only trace of it is in the crumbs and sugar on your dress and the smile on your face."
"This name is known in Sintra especially for the queijadas. They are made from scratch by Casa do Preto, from the dough to the filling."
"Lately, we went to Casa do Preto and were astonished by the harmonious marriage of filling and shell."
"The queijadas are also quite good, crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside."
"Are the queijadas good? Yes, ma'am. When the queijadas arrived on the table, then I realized why they say it is impossible to eat just one. Well, they're so small you have to be careful not to crack your fingers when you try to bite them. I would eat a packet of queijadas in the blink of an eye."
