Eating in Tomar

Tomar is a great destination for gastronomy lovers, especially sweet-toothed travellers. Apart from welcoming restaurants, where we can taste the best local cuisine, there are countless regional sweets. True temptations that are very hard to resist!

Regional sweets

Beija-me depressa

As many other historical cities in Portugal, Tomar has a century-old tradition of convent-inspired sweets. It's hard to tell which one is the tastiest, but the sweet "Beija-me depressa" (literally translated:"kiss me quickly"!) is most certainly a great highlight!

Fatias de Tomar

Also known as "China slices", the sweet Fatias de Tomar ("Tomar slices") is a deeply unique sweet speciality of the city. This sweet was created in the Convent of Christ and the first reference to it was made in 1876 in the book of João da Mata named The art of cooking. They were said to be the favourite dessert of friars. These sweet slices are baked in a special "chimney pot".

Queijinhos doces

The "sweet cheeses" are egg and almond-based sweets, an exclusive of the classical patisserie Estrelas de Tomar. Opened in 1960, this patisserie is without any doubt the oldest in Tomar, famous for its delicate sweets that burst with flavour and exquisiteness.
