The world's first egg tart shop opened in 1837 in Belém. It is a century-old shop where tourists come to check in and taste the most authentic Portuguese egg tarts. The crowd was dense, but everyone lined up consciously, divided into two teams for dining in and take-away. The restaurant is much larger than the storefront, and it is still quite large. The sweet and greasy desserts must be paired with bitter coffee. Sprinkle some cinnamon powder on the table to make it more Portuguese! Take away the unfinished ones, leaving more

It feels like being in a 19th century aristocratic town, exuding a simple and quaint aura... The restaurant has a retro KTV box, and any photo you take will give you the feeling of a blockbuster. Girlfriends can gather together, celebrate birthdays, etc...
Fruit muffin, when you bite it, you can taste the aroma of dried fruits and a hint of rum. There are almond crisps on top to increase the taste ~ chocolate brownie donut! ! A combination of donuts and brownies. It tastes like a donut and has a soft texture, but the overall taste is that of a brownie. There are also a lot of walnuts at the bottom to increase the taste~
"The Originator of Egg Tarts in the World, So Delicious That It Saves Life" When eating Portuguese egg tarts in Portugal, the authentic one must go to the century-old PASTIS DE BELM store. The nuns of the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon, Portugal, first invented egg tarts by recycling waste. At that time, the nuns used egg white paste to repair their robes and egg yolks to make egg tarts. Later, this egg tart shop was opened near the monastery. Because the monastery is located in the Belém district, it was named "Belem Egg Tart Shop". In the Belém district of Lisbon, the Portuguese Presidential Palace and the most famous monastery in the country, the Jerónimos Monastery, are both here. The century-old PASTIS DE BELM store is located between the two major attractions. PASTIS DE BELM is the unique name of this store. Only the egg tarts produced by this store can be called PASTIS DE BELM, which has "royal blood". This is the patent on the name. Egg tarts not produced by this store are all called PASTIS DE NATA, and egg tarts made by other stores in the BELM area cannot be called this name. This shop was founded in 1837 and is known as the originator of egg tarts in the world. The sapphire blue sign and the sapphire blue and white facade are very conspicuous. From a distance, you will find that the front of the shop is full of tourists from all over the world. When you come to the front of the shop, not only are all the signs with the year of nearly 200 years, but the floor at the door is also inlaid with mosaics with the big words of 1837. This shop produces the most authentic Portuguese egg tarts. The egg tart crust is crispy and the egg tart core is extremely smooth. It has the natural fragrance of egg and milk. You can also sprinkle sugar powder or cinnamon powder on it, and then pair it with a cup of bica. It is a perfect match and it is so delicious that it saves your life! Belem Egg Tart Shop is definitely the best in Lisbon. It is so famous that even egg tarts have a production area principle. Not all Portuguese tarts are called Belem Egg Tarts. It is worth a visit! Tips: Shop name: Pasteis de Belém Address: R. de Belém 84-92, 1300-085 Lisboa; Transportation: Take tram 15E or bus 201, 714, etc. to Belém-Jerónimos station; Price: RMB 50 per person. Travel guide: Jerónimos Monastery---Imperial Square---Belen Egg Tart Shop---Discoverers Monument---Belen Tower (the above attractions are very close and can be walked).
When the car entered Belem, we saw a long queue of people from afar. It turned out that this was the famous Portuguese egg tart store. The egg tarts sold in ordinary Portuguese stores have a hard outer skin, but this Belem egg tart store has a thin croissant skin wrapped around a smooth and fragrant filling. Because of the constant flow of customers, the Portuguese egg tarts are particularly fresh. In addition to being soft, they also have a strong milk and egg flavor. Each one is 1.15 euros, which is considered a high-priced dessert. It is quite reasonable. Order a latte without sugar for 2.25 euros (Expresso is 0.95 euros for a dry sip). It is really a good taste in the world~ In addition to the desserts, the several halls and corridors of this store are very Portuguese. It is a must-see place for a short break after walking around Belem~
I tasted it myself and it was really as good as it is said to be. It is just opposite the Monument to the Navigators and next to the Jerónimos Monastery. You can take out or eat in (a little more expensive), but the food is served very quickly. Many egg tarts in other places in Lisbon are served cold, although they are also good. But the tarts in this restaurant are definitely served hot, and the sweetness is moderate, which is lighter than other restaurants. You can also order other desserts and drinks to eat with them.
Check in Belém Egg Tart Shop, it is well-deserved, it is the best Portuguese egg tart I have ever eaten, no doubt about it, its outermost layer of pastry is very crispy, and the inner layer is layered with pastry, the filling feels like ice cream when you suck it into your mouth, it is very hot when it is just out of the oven, and you can taste its original flavor and uniqueness best when you eat it while it is hot. This century-old shop is famous both at home and abroad, and people come and go, and there is a constant flow of customers. There are almost no queues at any time, and it is even more difficult to find a seat. Tourists usually take away. My friend and I bought four takeaways, found a corner and stood and finished two immediately. You must visit it when you come to Lisbon, it is definitely worth it.
