My self-important 8,000th Yelp review calls for a historic place that makes the Pastel de Belém, a…read morepastry tart so popular they sell upwards of 50,000 of them daily from this one bakery cafe. 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?

Hot chocolate -- 10/10 -- might be the best I've had (even better than the authentic french hot…read morechocolate!!) this was such a rich and creamy flavorful beverage and surprisingly not too sweet. 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.

Bacadillo/Bifana Meal - 8/10…read more I got a sandwich, drink, and pastel de nata all for less than €10 (even gas station food in the US is more expensive and the quality is subpar). This was a very yummy sandwich and super filling too. The mayo/aoili sauce was the star of the show and really brought everything together. The baguette and sandwich toppings were super fresh too.

Hands down, the best pastel de nata in Lisbon--Period…read more We fully committed to the research--sampling at least four spots a day (a tough job, but someone had to do it)--and somehow kept circling back to this place. Why? Because the tarts come out hot, fresh, and straight-up addictive--Truly the Krispy Kreme of pastel de nata. Yes, we were those people who packed up boxes and flew them 4,000 miles back home... and yes, they were STILL incredible after a quick spin in the air fryer. That flaky crust, that custardy center ‍ They're sweet on their own, but if you absolutely pile on the cinnamon --Chef's kiss. Pure perfection.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: We came here after our long walk (hike) to the castle. Fortunately this pastry shop has some great reviews on the desserts. We were still craving pastel de natas and got one here. TBH, very good pastel de natas but the pasteis de belem is much better IMO. We also got the porto croissant, which is more bready than filo material. It had a decent glaze on top that added a nice flavor profile. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, for the two pastries, the damage done was 3.4 euros. Good pastry shop to stop after wandering the castelo de sao jorge.

We found Ground Burger nearby and I have to say, I'm glad we did! This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, anywhere. I got the Ground Burger which came with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and the GB sauce. The beef was amazing, all the toppings were so well balanced, and the brioche bun was excellent. Whatever was in the sauce really added a lot to it too. The fries had a nice little addition of rosemary which complemented them nicely. While these burgers are expensive, they're up there with the best burger I've had. So I think it's definitely worth it!
