  Pastéis de Belém

  The main attraction will undoubtedly be tasting the Belém pastries, which are served warm, straight from the oven. We will try the delicious combination of crispy puff pastry with a creamy cream filling, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon to taste. The bakery itself has a classic 19th century Portuguese aesthetic with tiled walls and images of the Belém neighborhood in ancient times. In addition to Belém's own pastries, the bakery offers many other Portuguese delicacies such as the traditional "travesseiro" sweet from the Sintra region, cheesecakes and traditional cakes. Without a doubt, it is a remarkable gastronomic experience because to date there has not been a single tourist of mine who has tried the pastries and not loved them.
