The Acting Director-General of Investment Promotion of InvestHK, Mr Arnold Lau, said, "We welcome Manteigaria to Hong Kong to the delight of our city's passionate egg tart fans. Just as an authentic pastry store can transform a neighbourhood, a vibrant gastronomic scene draws talent and investment to a world-class city. Manteigaria's arrival reinforces Hong Kong's identity as a dynamic crossroads of East and West - a city that appeals to diverse taste buds while serving as a premier destination for global business."
The Chief Executive Officer of Portugália Restauração, the restaurant group that owns Manteigaria, Mr Francisco Carvalho Martins, said, "Hong Kong consumers are curious, cosmopolitan, and uncompromising about taste. Our brand seeks a globally recognised market that values both heritage and innovation, and Hong Kong is exactly that. We see the city as the perfect stage from which to spread the aroma of our original, freshly baked Pastéis de Nata, and a key catalyst for our growth journey in Asia."
Founded in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2014, Manteigaria is part of Portugália Restauração, a restaurant group with over a century of heritage. Today, Manteigaria operates over 20 bakeries across Portugal, France, Macao and Spain. The brand's Portuguese egg tarts are baked fresh daily in an open kitchen using traditional methods perfected in Lisbon, delivering a crisp, buttery pastry with a smooth, velvety custard, often enjoyed with a light sprinkle of cinnamon.
Driven by strong confidence in Hong Kong's vibrant culinary sector, Manteigaria plans to open six locations across the city by the end of 2027. InvestHK has worked closely with Portugalia Restauração and Manteigaria throughout the process, providing go-to-market strategies, local market insights, and access to the city's high-quality supplier network to facilitate its successful launch and continued expansion.
