Central is about to get a taste of Lisbon as Manteigaria, the cult-favorite Pastéis de Nata specialist, prepares to open its first Hong Kong flagship this early June. The Lisbon-born bakery is currently on soft opening ahead of its official grand opening on June 2, 2026, bringing its signature golden, custard-filled tarts to the city's foodies.

Founded in 2014, Manteigaria has built a loyal following for its artisanal approach to Portugal’s iconic pastry, with each tart made fresh throughout the day and served straight from the oven. In keeping with its philosophy of transparency, the Hong Kong shop will showcase the full baking process in view of customers, from dough shaping to the final bake, offering an immersive glimpse into the craft behind every bite.

To mark its debut, the bakery will give away 300 freshly baked Pastéis de Nata on opening day (Tuesday, June 2, 2026). Each new batch will be announced with the ringing of a bell, a tradition carried over from Lisbon to give the city a reason to slow down, to stop, to notice, and to savor. This gesture reflects Manteigaria’s ethos of sharing simple pleasures while inviting everyone to a warm pastry amid the city’s fast pace.

The Central outpost follows the brand’s expansion to Macau and now Hong Kong, continuing its mission to deliver authentic Portuguese flavors with a focus on craftsmanship and quality.

Open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM, the bakery aims to become a new go-to for quick coffee breaks, takeaway treats, and indulgent snack stops in the heart of the city.
