Confeitaria Peixinho (Peixinho Confectionery), Aveiro

Confeitaria Peixinho, established in 1856, proudly asserts itself as the oldest soft egg house in Aveiro. Nestled near the picturesque Ria de Aveiro, this historic confectionery not only offers the iconic Ovos Moles but also presents an array of delectable pastries, with a special emphasis on soft egg-infused treats. Among the culinary delights, visitors can savor the unique Raivas from Aveiro, known for their delightful crunch and a harmonious blend of sweetness and saltiness.

Undergoing a renovation in 2018, Confeitaria Peixinho is adorned with decor inspired by Aveiro's new art. Stepping into the store, guests are greeted by a display featuring a first edition of the renowned work "Os Maias," a nod to the confectionery's signature product: "There are six barrels of soft eggs from Aveiro. It's a very famous sweet, even abroad. Only the one from Aveiro is chic." This historic establishment continues to charm visitors with its rich heritage and a tempting array of traditional Portuguese sweets.
