Portuguese Bakery

Awesome small bakery in this neighborhood so close to downtown. We had pastéis de natas freshly baked by Huda and Amer and they were delicious! They also serve Sirian food and we will try it on or next visit to Ottawa.

Best pastries-desserts in Ottawa. Beautiful clean quaint coffee/tea house with baked goods.

Delightful little underappreciated bakery that does fresh bread and great treats. Tried the cannoli on a whim and it was thoroughly delicious, with lightly flakey pastry and delicious cream. Would recommend to one and all

Absolutely delicious food. The croissants filled with this apple-y, cinnamon-y gooey inside are amazing. The chocolate cookies are so yummy. The kaiser rolls are crisp and crunch on the outside with a pillow-y light interior. And those tarts? Divine. And then there is the Syrian food on offer. I have never had such delicious falafel before, so fluffy, so light, so tasty. The beef sandwich (in a pita) is also unreal. Extremely friendly service, they even offered me a free sample. This summer they've upgraded the little patio out front with cute tables and fresh hanging baskets of flowers. This is a lovely part of the neighbourhood. Highly recommend.

Adorable little family run place!! I love the bread here, but the new items - the Pasteis de Nata, are quickly becoming my favourite and new addiction. The custard is perfect, and when they're fresh out of the oven the dough is so flakey and buttery. Reminds me of being in Lisbon.Can't recommend enough!!

Now also known as SYRIAN KITCHEN (says on their new business cards).Based on what I have overheard and read, this place is now owned and operated by Syrian families, employing some recent refugees. They have retained the Portuguese name and products from working with the previous co-owner.This is currently the only place you can get Syrian falafel in town. They gave me and my partner each a sample falafel to try - the falafels were flavourful, crispy on the outside and moist inside. I liked it much better than a lot of other falafels in town!!! $0.65 each if you were to buy. Looks like they are made to order, or the pre-made ones are within the hour and fresh.We tried the Syrian falafel wrap ($6) and Beef steak sandwich ($7) and both were delicious. Don't expect the food to come super fast like other shawarma-type places because they don't have an assembly line. For the beef steak sandwich, they sauteed mushrooms and onions along with the beef on their grill until caramelized, which took a while, but it tasted so homey and fresh. Beef was a little tough but the flavour was good.We got a bunch of natas (Portuguese egg tarts) and they were really good. $1.75 each.We also got a bunch of kibbehs (beef croquettes) - which I have just reheated and am eating right now on Day #2 - and they are flavourful and still juicy inside even after reheating. 5/5 would buy again. And of course we got extra Syrian falafels to go....because they're so good and we eat them like cookies.Lovely people, homey food at very reasonable prices. Cannot wait to come back again.Minus 1 star because service is slow and for the lack of ambiance/space if you want to dine in.

Very nice staff and fresh bakery, had some nice hot chocolate croissants would definitely come back here again

Nice small bakery in the city. Fresh buns and breads, for the location the Portuguese Tarts are over priced and not that fresh..It has to adjust prices considered the location and dinein option.

A hidden gem in Ottawa. The falafel, almond croissants and such are always fresh and amazing. Fresh buns and loafs. It’s a genuine mom and pop style bakery.
