It can be found in bakeries and cafés all over the country. Pastel de Belém, on the other hand, refers specifically to the version made at the historic Pastéis de Belém bakery in Lisbon. Their recipe originated at the Jerónimos Monastery in Belém. To this day, they closely guard the original secret recipe, which gives their tarts a unique flavor and texture. While many places serve an excellent Pastel de Nata, only Pastéis de Belém can make the authentic Pastel de Belém.

Lunch in Lisbon can be quick or indulgent, and these spots offer something for every craving.
