When asked for a favourite, Carla doesn’t hesitate: “That’s easy! Try Portuguese custard tarts fresh out of the oven… with cinnamon on top.” Their tarts follow a traditional recipe, using high-quality local ingredients to create light, smooth custard wrapped in crisp, flaky puff pastry. Handmade and baked fresh daily, one bite is often all it takes for customers to understand why Saudade is a must visit.

When they have a moment to explore the Market, Carla and Miguel are drawn to Lucia’s paninis, a slice of pizza from Atlas Pizza, or weekend meat supplies from their neighbours at O’Connell’s Meats.

As for the Market atmosphere? “It’s vibrant and buzzing — especially on Fridays,” Miguel says. “There are always events celebrating local produce and international culture. There’s something fresh and unique for everyone!”
