Isabel Landeau is a designer who, as a hobby, baked chocolate cakes to share with her friends. She loved so much the oohs and aahs that her cakes inspired, that she became obsessed with perfecting her recipe. For nine months, she experimented with different chocolates and cocoas. The result is a master piece, a cake that is deliciously light but layered with exquisite chocolate flavors.
When Landeau opened a store to share her creation with the world, she was surprised at the praise lavished by the international press (the New York Times called her cake “devilishly good”). Her store has become an obligatory place of pilgrimage for chocolate lovers.
Landeau makes chocolate taste as exciting as when it was brought to Europe in the 16th century, as exotic as when Aztecs used it in religious cerimonies. Try a slice of Landeau cake and you’ll see.
Landeau is located on Rua das Flores, N. 70, 911-810-801. Click here for their website.
That looks so delicious:) Happy Monday. Janet.
It is amazing, worth a trip to Lisbon!
I’ll be back in Olhao in September and so might just do that:)
Will we be able to savour this devilish cake?
But of course!
Where is her shop? There’s no link in the piece. I presume it’s in Lisbon but it doesn’t give the address.

So, how do we try a slice of Landau cake? Can’t see an address, or where to buy it…!
