This was the first place I came to eat something in Lisbon! A custard tart for lunch! I can't tell…read moreyou how right the foodie's videos were about the original place where the pastel de nata originated. Actually it was better than the claims! I "ubered" out to Belem from my hotel. There was a small line up but it moved quickly. Cute and quaint place in blue and white. We walked across the street to a park to enjoy them. The pastry was so flaky that it flaked off very easily. The pigeons were aware of this and stood guard for any fallen morsels. The custard was so smooth and creamy and you could see the heat bubbles! I may have to go back for more!

A Lisbon Must-Do for Pastéis, Coffee & a Little Old-World Charm…read more First trip to Lisbon = Pastéis de Belém had to be on the itinerary! I had read up on the famous bakery before our visit and knew that arriving early was key. So we did -- and I'm very glad we did because this place gets busy FAST! There was a little confusion at first about which entrance to use and where to line up for a table, especially with people coming through different doors. Thankfully, we only waited about 5-10 minutes, which really wasn't bad at all. We weren't lucky enough to be seated in the beautiful old section of the café, but we did get to wander through it -- and wow! The historic rooms are incredibly charming, with gorgeous old-world details that make the whole experience feel like a little step back in time. We were seated instead in the much larger, newer dining hall. Our waiter was friendly, although definitely a little stern-ish, and after scanning the QR menu, we took a few minutes to decide what we wanted. Our waitress came by, took our order and quickly disappeared into the sea of tables. And honestly, I get it -- this place was HUSTLING! Of course, we ordered the famous Pastéis de Belém because... well, when in Lisbon! We also added a Torte de Chocolate because apparently one pastry each wasn't going to cut it, plus a couple of lattes. I actually loved that the menu included photos -- sometimes you just need to see the pastry before committing! Our order arrived surprisingly quickly, and the pastéis were delicious. The pastry was flaky, the custard was creamy and they absolutely hit the spot. I had expected them to arrive warm, though, and ours weren't, so I'm not sure how fresh from the oven they were. Still delicious nonetheless. The lattes were hot, tasty and served in pretty little glasses -- always a nice touch. One thing I did notice was that the tables, chairs and menus could have used a little more attention in the cleanliness department. That said, considering the sheer volume of people moving through this place every day, it's easy to understand how quickly things can get a little messy. Before leaving, we took another stroll through the historic portion of the bakery and café, which was definitely worth a look. There's so much character and history tucked into those rooms. And by the time we walked out? The line was already stretching outside! If sitting down isn't your thing, there's also a quick-order counter where you can grab your pastéis and keep exploring Lisbon. So, would I stop here again? Absolutely. Is it a leisurely, quiet café experience? Definitely not. It's busy, bustling and very much a Lisbon institution. But experiencing the history, seeing the beautiful old bakery, sipping a latte and eating one of these iconic Portuguese pastries is part of the fun. Put it on your Lisbon itinerary -- just go early, embrace the crowds, and save room for pastries!

Came by just before 11 on a Monday and beat the line. It does seem to go pretty quick though…read more There's table seating outdoors but they were all occupied so we ate quickly at the counters watching the workers make the tarts. It was 1.50 euro for a pastel de nata and it paired beautifully with a meia de leite (flat white). The pastel de nata was more custardy and the crust wasn't as flaky as I imagined, but I really enjoyed it!

Manteigeria is all over the place. At first, I thought this was their only location - and then I…read morekept seeing them as I walked around Lisbon. I thought that was for sure it until I discovered them in Porto as well. These guys primarily sell one thing, and it's the same everywhere. Clearly they like their formula. Obviously, I had the pasteis de nata. Curiously, at this location specifically, they refuse to sell a single one and instead sell in groups of two. This one was not my favorite. The pastry shell does have a good crispness and flakiness to it, but the problem is the inside is just way too sweet. The custard is just sickly sweet - such that it simply doesn't work with the egg flavor. It seems to be a problem unique to this chain, as I haven't noticed this sweetness anywhere else. Overall, I would look elsewhere for pastel de nata. 5/10

Such a beautiful spot for dinner the setting right by the water is truly special. It was a little…read moretricky to find the entrance but absolutely worth the effort. We booked almost a month in advance and were glad we did. The atmosphere is calm and romantic, with stunning waterfront views. We went for a 7 PM reservation, which was perfect for catching the sunset highly recommend! Just a heads-up, it gets chilly once the sun goes down, so bring a sweater. The staff were warm and welcoming, and although service was on the slower side, their kindness made it easy to overlook. We tried a variety of dishes, everything was delicious, but the teriyaki salmon and octopus were the winners, both 10/10. We also had the sangria, but found it a little too sweet for our taste more like juice. Still, the overall experience was memorable. Definitely a place to enjoy the view, the vibe, and a relaxing evening.

I have never come across such a rude, arrogant and hateful man in my life. PLEASE AVOID this…read moreoverpriced tourist trap like the plague! I have often stopped at the bar despite the arrogant staff, as it does have a beautiful view point. However, after tonight never again. Enjoyed a very pleasant evening with friends until we asked for the bill, when we received it, there was a bottle of wine that has been bought to the table in error, it was not opened and the waiter acknowledged the mistake and took it away, it was though charged on the bill. They had also missed a glass of wine, which we also pointed out. The bill was €106.40 and should had been 90.40. I have no problem paying for what I have ordered, although I would also point out that €20 for a bottle of Planalto is absolutely outrageous! In "Paparucha's", a very nice steak restaurant a few doors away, it is priced at just €12 and even the extremely touristic "A Brasileira" only charges €13! So back to the dispute, they would not accept what we were saying, and they threatened to call the police if we did not pay. We paid the €90.40 and walked away. We actually then went back as was so astounded by their attitude and behaviour. We asked for the complaints book, they delayed a long time in getting it and then said they were going to call the police again, we said go ahead. They said we could not have the complaints book until the police arrived. The police did not appear and reluctantly we were given the book. It would seem there were quite a few complaints already. Apparently we are now barred, as if we would ever go back! Disgusting behaviour, please do yourself a favour and enjoy the view but don't bother with the kiosk. I believe that there is another kiosk in the lower gardens, so go there instead!

Decent amount of seating but all of it is uncomfortable. Service was decent and responsive despite the place being full that morning. Speed at which the food and beverage came out was slowww. I got the Ube dream (not to be confused with the Ube latte that's different although menu offers no explanation) and it completely lacked any flavor and the topping/cold foam completely curdled in the beverage it was undrinkable. To eat, I wanted the fish tacos but they were out. Got the burrito. This was also borderline completely flavorless. Decent portion though. Lisbon and Portugal's cafe culture is crazy and there's wayyy too much competition for this to be the spot I'd pick. Also, that photo you want with the trolley, there's only like one table facing that view so it might be hard to get. 5.5/10
