Freshly cooked croissants all day. Croissants with jam, no jam, mascarpone, chocolate, ham and cheese. Good coffee. Good menu options too. Best croissants in town hands down!

My favorite go-to place in Almada for authentic croissants. Love the two women who own it; they are so hospitable. I am a Canadian visitor so it feels like a second home for me.

These yummy Croissants are imported from France. It's a neighborhood favorite, often crowded with local families.

I had here one of the best croissants I have ever had. So light and soft, with a crispy crust, but tender inside. Croissants were served fresh and a cup of coffee with milk was a perfect fit to it. Great morning for a great price. Highly recommend croissants by Madame Croissant!
