나따오비까 신사점 — Restaurant in Seoul

The Portuguese heritage starts and stops and the classic egg tarts. They are ok (as in, they are good in Seoul but wouldn’t sell in Portugal). Service is ok and they try their best to make it nice. The coffee is the part that disappoints the most. It is not good, and to make it anywhere near the tart is a crime. Also, the name of the shop is made to resemble what a Portuguese from Lisbon would order (being that Nata is an egg tart and Bica is an espresso). However, the “O” in the middle is wrong because if you are getting them together it should be “E”, if one or the other it should be “OU”. Nata and Bica are also feminine words and “O” is used for masculine words (Latin languages make a distinction between them).

A nice little European-style cafe in Seoul that serves different types of Portuguese egg tarts, including savoury ones.

The tarts I had (classic and apple-cinnamon) were good and went well with coffee.

The place itself was fairly small and a little cramped, imo, but went when it was not busy.

The staff member I dealt with was very friendly and helpful and spoke English, so the service I received was excellent.

A good place to experience something a bit different if you are in the Sinsa...

Will only let you sit down if every person in your group buys drinks, doesn't matter how many egg tarts or how much food you buy! Went here with a baby and 4 people, bought a bunch of tarts, and they wouldn't let us sit in the near empty restaurant.

Wanted to put this here to warn people before they spend money...
