This ice cream shop privileges fresh fruit and predominantly Portuguese flavors such as Port wine, "pastel de nata" and "leite creme" (cream milk), without forgetting the most requested flavors such as chocolate and vanilla. At Gelataria Portuguesa the production of ice cream is made without the use of dyes and preservatives.
