I guess after the lunch rush, a bunch of places shutdown until dinner time, so I was sorta SOL. Since LXeesecake was on my list anyway, I decided to have a late lunch here as they do serve light meals in addition to cheesecake. It was 8EU for a salad + a non-alkie drink + half a slice of cheesecake + coffee/tea. Food took some time to arrive, but hey, I wasn't in a rush. Presentation was nice. Salads were delicious and sufficient in size. And between the Tiramisu & Lemon Cheesecake, I thought the Lemon was better! Cheesecake was light and creamy in texture, very good. If you're at the LX Factory, check this place out! They share a space with an Optical store.

And just like your grandmother's kitchen, you'll be welcomed with the smells of something fresh from the oven just as soon as you open the door. The owner takes obvious pride in setting a table creating a warm environment for a leisurely breakfast, lunch, or even a quick snack. In a 10-day stay, surrounded by lovely restaurants, bakeries and pastry shops, a friend, my spouse and I managed to eat here 3 times. You won't be disappointed with any selection of cakes, brownies, or pies and the lunch menu seemed to fit our tastes exactly; especially the to-die-for golden, flakey crust of a vegetable prawn pie. Heaven? Yes, I think so. Oh, and even their coffee has a special presentation: enjoy your small shortbread butter cookie with every cup.

I had been here about fifteen years ago on a solo trip when I waited in an endless queue for a takeout order. That same line still existed a couple of weeks ago when Jamie W and I visited on my return to Lisbon. This time, we decided to try the dine-in option which I wasn't even aware of until I saw a YouTube video from a travel vlogger who recommended it. Sure enough, the line was a lot shorter and moved quite a bit faster. It turned out they serve up to 400 people in an expansive dining room. The menu goes beyond the pastels and offers croquettes, salt cod fritters, various sandwiches, and other pastries. Of course we ordered the 1,6€ Pasteis de Belem. Four of them (Photo 6). Based on a secret recipe dating back to 1837, they compare favorably to the multitude of competitors, even Manteigaria, whose shops appear almost everywhere in Lisbon. The custard filling is creamy but not excessive and it's not overly sweetened. The standout is the thick and flaky crust, tender with a touch of salt. The 2€ Iced Coffees with Milk was a nice complement. Since we didn't have time to get lunch while sauntering through Belem, we decided to take advantage of their cafe menu and each ordered the 3,9€ Tuna and Mayo with Boiled Egg and Lettuce on Mixed Wheat Toast (Photo 9). I know it sounds simple, but it satisfied much like the kombini sandos in Tokyo. Totally worthy of my 8,000 milestone. FOOD - 5 stars...the pastels are still the bomb 189 years later...the sandwich worked, too AMBIANCE - 5 stars...surprisingly spacious...you can also see the production process through large show windows on the way to the dining room SERVICE - 5 stars...a cordial and attentive server who had to juggle a lot of tables TOTAL - 5 stars...definitely a must-stop next to the equally essential Jeronimos Monastery RELATED - Exploring Lisbon?

Just awesome sauce Pastel de nata: 10/10 -- I looooved this pastel de nata the most out of all of the different places I tried. I'll post a full round up but this one deserves its own post. It's the original since 1837 for a reason! it was incredibly flaky and crisp. the filling was just the right sweetness and creamy! Pasteis de belem is a must try! Super accessible by tram 15e, it was easy to walk over from the tram stop and hardly had any wait for me to find a seat and order. there are indoor and patio/outdoor seating options available.
