Pastéis de Belém

84-92 Rua de Belém · Belém, Rua de Belém · Lisbon, Portugal

The one thing to get

Two pastéis de Belém, warm, with cinnamon and sugar shaken on

When to go: Skip the takeaway line and walk inside to the tables; it moves faster. Early morning or after 6pm is calmest.

The custard tart from the 1837 recipe the monks left behind, still a secret kept in one room.
