I wanted to not like them because they're a massive tourist attraction but they were incredible, not as sweet as the ones from the other places, fresh out of the oven, super flaky crust. I'm a fan of a higher custard to crust ratio and this definitely hit the spot. Remember to add a bit of cinnamon on top to bring out the custard flavor more. There are three queues: one for sit-down service, one for the historical counter (whatever that may be, we didn't stick around long enough to check that out), and one for takeaway which is the fastest and basically had no line, where you can take one or four and enjoy them in one of the nearby parks. Also a gift shop a few steps away in case you want more Pasteis de Belem!

What makes it special is watching the pastries being handmade right in front of you, which adds a level of freshness and craftsmanship that you can actually taste. The service was super fast and friendly. The pastel de nata came out perfectly, with that delicate flaky crust and warm custard that just hits differently when you know it was made moments ago. The espresso was equally impressive, rich and smooth, and the two together make for a simple but near perfect combination. If you are in the area, this is an easy and very satisfying stop.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Oh no. Am I the only one who doesn't like the pastel de nata custard tarts this restaurant is so…read morefamous for? The crust was super flaky and the tart was nice and warm out of the oven, but I didn't like the flavor of the custard. I did forget to add cinnamon to the top, but I don't think it would have helped me personally. The woman who stood next to me at the counter had a nearly orgasmic experience next to me, so it's obvious that my taste buds are apparently off. I loved the patience of the server, who got confused when I told her I wanted to eat in but wanted to take water to go. Note to self...Portuguese folks want to have their "to go" as "takeaway." What I also didn't know was that there was no place to sit!! I scooted down the counter just like all the other folks to watch the bakers prep the next gozillion pastries for the day. That was interesting. Then, I didn't know how to bus my dishes. I just left them on the counter like all the other folks and went away. I wouldn't skip going because of my personal taste buds, though. Enjoy it for yourself and let me know if you have a different opinion than I did!

Excellent ice cream parlour, regarded by many as serving the best Italian ice cream in Lisbon. It's…read moreone of a handful of branches, here located under the brutalist bulk of the Museum of Coaches. The white-tiled parlour itself isn't going to win any awards for character, but then again you come for the ice cream, so it's not a place you're going to linger. They serve their ice cream in cones, tubs or on cakes (you can just have a cake if you want, though that rather defeats the object of coming here). The range of flavours is fairly traditional (so no pineapple cheesecake). Their fruit flavours - key lime, lemon, raspberry are spectacularly fresh and zingy, whereas nut, coffee and chocolate flavours are rich and decadent. You prepay at the till before taking a ticket to the ice cream counter itself, so the serving staff don't handle money. Recommended.

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.

Adega de Belem was a nice find in Belem. The other restaurant options did not look as great and in…read moregeneral, the options are limited here. Which is probably why even after the lunch rush it was still a 20 minute wait for indoor seating (outside would have been less, but it was too hot). While Portuguese service is nothing like American service, I agree with others that servers here seem particularly unfriendly, even by Portuguese standards. Adega de Belem is small, but really pretty and evocative of an adega. The azulejos are beautiful. We ordered sangria, which was refreshing but not all that strong. We all enjoyed our meals. I had the sea bass, which was grilled with herbs and accompanied by potatoes and salad. It was traditionally Portuguese, which I love, and it was good.
