Padaria Arménio — Restaurant in Vila Nova de Gaia

Visiting the place so came in twice two days in a row. Pastel de natas were really subpar, so mediocre that Ive had better in the UK, which was a disappointment. Very thick and underbaked pastry, the egg custard didn’t taste of anything. Also tried their mini coconut cakes the same day, which were a bit better but also came in the same pastry as pastel de nata, so that also ruined it. Came in again the next day to try my luck again, got macarons and almond biscuits. Almond biscuits were edible, a 5/10, but the macarons were not macarons whatsoever. Just a shell of completely dry flour(no taste of almond flour found AT ALL nor was where any moistness in the middle as it should be in correctly baked macarons) and the chocolate ganache resembled the cheap version of instant hot chocolate powder, taste terrible and texture gritty and very undesirable.
