Vilalatina - Padaria e Pastelaria — Restaurant in Loulé

Horrible experience! The “risole de carne” had so much oil on the dough that it looked like it was freshly dipped in oil.

The answer to that is NO, as a matter of fact, we’ll never try anything in his place again because if you’re that desperate over a couple of euros, God knows what else you’re...

The pastel de nata was genuinely delicious! The chocolate croissant was okay, just a little bit too dry for my liking. The cappuccino was okay as well. Prices seemed fair to me. Order and pay inside, and then you can have a seat whilst waiting for them to bring your order to you. Nice and quiet before 10AM (no queue).
