Tucked away inside a bungalow in the village of Camorlin in Loutolim, you will find this small family-run bakery with a staunch following of customers. Many tourists who wander around the Big Foot Museum in Loutolim find themselves refueling at Jila Bakery. They are almost always out of the day’s fresh bakes by noon as regulars know to pre-order 24 hours before they set out to pick up. Jila is famous for its pastries – chocolate-coated profiteroles, tarts, apple strudel. Note that the ‘éclair’ – their top selling choux pastry is really a profiterole. Their rich plum cake and cashew brittle are both legendary. Savouries such as khara biscuits, cheese straws and rusks are popular too.
