29. Pasteis de Belem

Pastéis de nata (Portuguese custard tarts) is one of Lisbon’s iconic specialties. But when it comes to pastries, nothing can rival Pasteis de Belem.

The shop is located just a few steps from the monastery’s main church along Rua de Belem. According to the shop’s history, after the 1820 Liberal Revolution, monasteries and convents were shut down, and people were expelled from these religious institutions. A former worker at Jeronimos Monastery decided to sell the sweet pastry around the area.
