Lisbon Vegan Bakery Guide: 6 Spots for Pastel de Nata + More 2026

The first time I visited Lisbon, the idea of a vegan pastel de nata was laughable. At that point in time, the vegan wave hadn’t hit the city. Luckily, that all changed during the pandemic. I’m not sure if people became more aware of their health or realized that Lisbon is a happening place to visit and that they need a green makeover, but whatever it was, I’m here for it!

So, now you might be wondering what you’re apt to find in this sunny city.

Today, Lisbon is often highlighted for its plant-powered prowess, which includes a delectable array of sweet treats. You’ll find vegan cakes, ice cream, and those famous custard pastéis de nata throughout the city! When your sweet tooth needs a treat, don’t miss one of these fantastic vegan and vegan-friendly bakeries and dessert spots!

The Best Vegan Bakeries in Lisbon

Consider exploring some of these spots and more on a vegan food tour through Lisbon with a local! This is a great way to find hidden gems and get local insight!

Vegan Nata Chiado

R. da Misericórdia 9, 1200-208 Lisboa Portugal
Alright, here’s what I bet you all came for: the famous pastéis de nata! Some may say that you really didn’t go to Portugal without trying these traditional custard tarts. So, if you’re unfamiliar with these treats, they are traditional pastries originating in Lisbon. The base is a light and flaky crust filled with warm vanilla custard (best enjoyed warm) and topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Traditionally, the custard isn’t vegan-friendly, but these guys were up for the challenge. Honestly, I don’t think even the most discerning pastel de nata lover would know the difference!

Nat’elier | Pastel de Nata

R. de Santa Justa 87, 1100-581 Lisboa, Portugal
If you didn’t get your fill of pastéis de nata at Vegan Nata Chiado, you’ve got another opportunity — maybe an informal taste test is in order? With theirs, you might taste notes of lemon in the custard that pair amazingly with the dusting of cinnamon. Our vegan tour of Portugal featured both of these vegan pastel spots — after visiting both, the group continued to find new spots for the important work of comparison!

Veganeats Caffe

R. Cavaleiro de Oliveira 42, 1170-088 Lisboa, Portugal
I was surprised to find that this spot is more than just a little coffee shop-type spot! In addition to a dessert case packed with sweets, they have a daily breakfast and lunch menu with options like quiche, sweet potato soup, smoked tofu salad, and more! But you’re after treats, so let’s get onto that!

In addition to the daily food menu, there is a daily treat menu (they post an update on Facebook daily). They’ve got something for everyone — decadent chocolate and peanut cake, cinnamon rolls, strawberry brioche, apple pie, scones, and more!

One tip: Bring a small Tupperware with you and grab a couple of items so you can try a few things (the little bags don’t keep things quite as fresh)!

Vegan-Friendly Bakeries to Visit in Lisbon

Despensa N.6

Av. Sacadura Cabral 6A, 1000-274 Lisboa, Portugal
Gluten-free friends, here is a spot just for you! Everything at this modern artisanal bakeshop is gluten-free, and they have a great selection of vegan options. They also take pride in offering healthy treats that are free from refined sugar. When looking for the vegan options on their menu or in the dessert case, look for the “v” leaf. They’ve got options like carrot and nut bars, chocolate truffles, creamy tarts, and more.

UAO by Mú – Healthy Italian Gelato

R. Dom Pedro V 145, 1250-094 Lisboa, Portugal
Vegan Italian gelato? Say no more, am I right? I got a kick out of their “truly vegan” signs posted in the shop and even on Instagram! At one time I think all of the gelatos were vegan, but as of a recent visit they did have a couple dairy options — it was like six vegan options to three dairy options. They have a great lineup of classic gelato and sorbet flavors that are all house-made. If you’re a coffee lover, try my favorite nutty coffee mash-up with a scoop of caffe espresso and nocciola Piemonte (hazelnut).

Fragoleto Ice Cream

R. do Comércio 15, 1100-321 Lisboa, Portugal
I’m rounding out this sweet treat list with a terrific vegan-friendly ice cream spot in Lisbon—this is especially important if you’re visiting in the summer! Fragoleto caught my attention with its bright red ice cream case proclaiming “organic ice cream” and “biologico.” Now, I know that this doesn’t always mean vegan options, but I always feel like I have the best chance at a place like that, and I was right! They have a great selection of vegan, organic, gluten-free, and sugar-free ice cream options like coconut, mango, and strawberry. In addition to ice cream, they also have a fruity lineup of ice pops and smoothies!
