Leitaria Do Carmo - Viana do Castelo

This is a good stop for those who enjoy Portuguese sweets. You can try different types of Jesuits all very well, but the original is the best!!

We were at the hostel next door. We went there for coffee/tea, desserts (many and varied), sandwiches and soups. All were very good. The staff was friendly, helpful and fast. The place is busy with locals during the morning so leave some time and...relax.

A friend from northern Portugal recommended to go here for the Jesuita a triangle of filled puff pastries with a thin frost glaze. You should be the best. I was not blown away, but that could be more to do with not love Jesuita in general (that was my first time it) than with this bakery especially. I found it to be a tad dry and would like more filling. I also tried some palm trees (one of my favorite pastries) and they were good. If you are in Castelo and want a sweet snack, check it out, but if you are not a big fan of Jesuita, it is probably not worth going out your way, as it seems to be bakeries at practically every corner in Portugal.
