Delicious Natas in Lisbon’s Manteigaria

Delicious Natas in Lisbon Delicious bitesize treats across Lisbon inside Manteigaria By Serge Larose & Elisandra Buges Intro Delicious Natas in Lisbon’s Manteigaria is the perfect way to kick off your trip. Prior to visiting Portugal, we knew to expect great food and an abundance of castles.  However, what’s even better is being blown away once you finally get to experience it.  Also, eating Natas is so cliché because Portugal makes so many other great desserts ! Well heck, when in Rome do like the Romans – right !? “The Natas were created before the 18th century and started being sold after the liberal Revolution of 1820. It was none other than Catholic Monks who started selling the Pastel de

La Baie Saguenay et le sentier Eucher

Le Sentier Eucher One of the most rewarding hikes we’ve completed is Le Sentier Eucher in ‘La Baie, Saguenay’. By Serge Larose & Elisandra Buges Intro Le sentier Eucher is a must see when visiting the Saguenay region ! A few years ago, we planned to discover the Saguenay / Lac St-Jean area. We started pinning places that we thought could interest us yet never got around to travelling there. Fast forward a few years and the travel restrictions from the Covid-19 pandemic forcefully funnelled our choice to Ontario and Quebec destinations. Which is why our 2020 summer vacation comprised of Quebec destinations.  Our biggest challenge this year was to prioritize our selected discoveries with our allocated time. Our ambitious demeanour

Pastéis de Nata
Portugal

4 Top places to try Pastéis de Nata in Lisbon

This Blog is all about the world famous Pastéis de Nata in Lisbon! Portugal is a country that colonized Brazil a long time ago. Yet, still today we Brazilians feel a great deal of influence on our culture. I speak from experience since I grew up with this Portuguese culture in a suburb of São Paulo. Food matters Food gets people talking, dancing and celebrating. In Brazil we have tons of bakeries called ”Padarias”.  These Portuguese bakeries are quite different from the French and English style.  Mainly because you’ll find everything from bread, sweet and salty pastries. When visiting Lisbon for the first time back in October – 2019, we decided to try all kind of foods. Some that we already
