Nata & Papa – Peterborough

Nata & Papa – Peterborough, 2025/26 Good Food Award winner – Blue Ribbon.

Nestled on Midgate, this independent gem offers a warm welcome from the moment you step through its doors. The interior is modest yet inviting, with a continental flair that complements its Mediterranean and Portuguese menu. From flaky sardine pastéis to creamy quiches and the ever-iconic pastel de nata, the offerings are both authentic and lovingly prepared. The coffee is notably well-regarded—whether you favour a velvety latte or a robust espresso, it’s served with care and consistency.

What truly sets Nata & Papa apart is its commitment to quality without pretension. The menu is refreshingly straightforward, with breakfast and brunch options that cater to varied dietary needs, including vegan and gluten-free selections. Prices are reasonable, making it a popular choice for both locals and visitors seeking a satisfying bite without breaking the bank.

Nata & Papa is a fine example of how a small café can make a big impression—through honest food, good coffee, and a touch of Iberian sunshine in every tart.
