Pasteis de Belem is considered the place where the Pastel de Nata originated. This location opened…read morein 1837! The history here is amazing! You can either just go to the counter and order pastries to go, or choose to sit at a table. We decided to get a table. After a short wait, you're escorted into a large dining area with table service. We obviously ordered their famous pastry. In addition, we also ordered a Travesseiro and a Mil Folhas. While the Pastel de Nata's were excellent, I'd definitely recommend ordering the Mil Folhas, which was so delicious! This is very similar to a Napoleon that we have in the US, but just tasted so good! Just a tip...If you go here, make sure you check out the Jeronimos Monastery up the street, it's beautiful!

All the hype around this shop in Belem is real. My friend and I had a bunch of these pastel de nata…read moreall over the country and these were our clear favorite. The crust is just so light and flakey! Make sure you know what line you're in because the long line is typically the one into the quick counter and I wanted to see the beautiful main counter, which was the middle line. The line for tables obviously is longer but honestly, if you're just grabbing one or two, you don't need to do that. We got ours and ate them standing in the main counter area, which was absolutely beautiful. Make sure you add a little sprinkling of powdered sugar and cinnamon. A Portuguese woman actually made sure I did that when she saw me about to eat it!

I thought after Pasteis de Belem I wasn't going to get a pastel de nata that good again, but that's…read moreuntil I came here. The one from here was absolutely amazing. The layers of pastry on the outside were super thick - the most amount of layers I've seen on the double-digit ones that I've eaten. This makes the crunch earth-shattering, but still so easy to bite through. The pastry layers cascade down into the center, creating ripples of individual crunches along the way that is so immensely satisfying to consume. But what's truly spectacular is the inside. Upon the first bite, the custardy center oozes out like molten lava. You better make sure you have a plate under this, because the bright yellow goo is as addicting to taste as it is dangerous to your hands or clothing. The flavor is simply perfect - just the right amount of sweetness, citrus, and egginess. It's honestly unbelievable how good and irresistible this is. Comparing it to Pasteis de Belem, I think I would actually put this slightly over. The extra layers and the more liquidy center just do it for me. That's an iconic place, but comparing simply on what I liked better, I think this takes the cake (or tart). Overall, pretty close to the best baked good I've ever had. 9.75/10

So this is a delayed review--going thru my drafts and trying to write the ones I missed a while…read moreback! Came in April 2022 for a light morning snack based on seeing good reviews. Based on the items I ordered, everything was just passable. Maybe I'm not really appreciating the difference in textures between similar pastries in different countries, but even compared to several other bakeries and cafes in Lisbon, this was my least favorite. (Overall outside of pasteis de nata, I found pastries and baked goods in Portugal to be a bit drier, breadier, and sweeter than some other countries.) The chocolate croissant I ordered used melted chocolate sprinkles on top and inside, and the bread was laminated on the outside but kinda dense and dry on the inside, no airy pockets, just bready. The palmier tasted a bit stale, like when a crispy cookie has been sitting out and softened. The croquettes were average. The espresso was pretty normal. I sat outside since it was a nice day, they had a number of tables and patrons dining outside. They seemed to be understaffed bc it took a while for the server to come out and take my order, though the food came pretty quickly once ordered. Inside it's a very old-school feel, very ornate with many mirrors and liquor shelves along the wall. Not sure about prices now though will say in 2022 they were very reasonable.

Incredible service matched with amazing caffeine and a funky ceiling…read more We ordered with our eyes, the yogurt bowl with sugared bananas was amazing, the salmon toast was huge and so fresh, followed with Scottish poached eggs, full over flavor. The staff was so accommodating, the cafe was packed but they never missed a beat. We even grabbed a couple of bags of coffee to take home.

We stopped by this location near the Jerónimos Monastery and had a really lovely breakfast overall!…read moreThe Cured Salmon Benedict was the absolute star of the show. The eggs were poached absolutely perfectly, and the runny yolk soaked into the beautifully light brioche bun. The flavor profile was excellent; the dollop of herbed cream cheese paired incredibly well with the fresh spinach and the punch of the pickled red onion. My only tiny personal critique is that I wished the salmon itself was just a bit saltier, leaning closer to a traditional lox, but it was still incredibly flavorful and satisfying. For drinks, it was a bit of a mixed experience. I ordered the Iced Pistachio Latte, which unfortunately left me a little underwhelmed. It wasn't a bad drink by any means, but the pistachio flavor just wasn't very prominent. On the plus side, my friend ordered the Iced Tiramisu Latte, and hers was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. Overall, it's a great spot with high-quality food and a fantastic location.
