Tuga Pastries started as a hole in the wall bakery producing pasteis de nata from a traditional family recipe recreated by Diogo Ferreira. Diogo’s father, Agostinho Ferreira, a pastry chef in Portugal, migrated to Australia in 1985, bringing with him his Portuguese tradition and culture including his beloved secret pastel de nata recipe.
In 1994, they opened their first Portuguese cake shop in Curlewis st Bondi Beach and within six years were making and selling 3000 nata’s every day, each one still hand pressed and hand made to Gus’s secret recipe. In 2016, Gus’s son Diogo continued his fathers legacy; the nata’s you hold today from Tuga Pastries are still hand pressed and hand made, still true to Gus’s village recipe and still taste just as delicious as his did years ago.
