In 45 years I've eaten more of my favourite sweet pies, Pasteis de Belem or de Nata.or de crema than I can remember, so I think I know the best. Certainly, these are amongst the best , but in my opinion are not the best....Also at the take away price 400% more costly than a store price , or more than double of anywhere else in Portugal , somewhat removes any pleasure. Hotels often give them free with cafe. You are assured this is nothing but a tourist trap rip-off. The shopping experience is normal. The tourist only cafe at the rear for which hundreds line up for outside, is an old characterless room. my tip is to avoid it and take cafe and Pasteles from anywhere nearby for a better experienceMore

Better than pastel de nata. The place is so spacious and big. The sweets taste so good. The staff are friendly.

It´s well known for its "Pastel de Nata". When we were planning our trip to Lisbon, Portugal in October 2020, many people recommended us the "Pastel de Nata" from Belem. Once in Portugal, we realized that Lisbon is full of "Pastel de Nata" because it´s...like a national dessert. Even though we had eaten plenty of different options of "Pastel de Nata", we went to Belem to taste the famous one. The bakery is so big and really organized to buy to take away, they also have a nice box and bags. I´m afraid I didn´t like it at all, To be honest, I had much better during my journey in Portugal. Actually, its egg flavor is too much.More

First meal we ate in Portugal, almost right off the plane. Really tasty! We ate pasteis de nata many times across the country on that trip, but the ones from Pasteis de Belem were never beaten. We managed to get there just before the line...got bad, thankfully, and didn't have to wait at all. We'd definitely go back if we were in Lisbon again.More

A must when in Belem. The crowds outside (especially around the take-away bit) are testament to how good the pasteis de nata are but once you’re inside, you are efficiently shown to a table (the cafe goes on for miles) and the variety of cakes...we sampled were all of the highest quality. The pasteis are very good, though.More

The best custard tarts we had in Portugal - their Pasteis de Belem are best enjoyed warm when they are especially delicious and flaky. You can't not go to Pasteis de Belem if you're in the area.

This place is so well known and the interior is quite big to sit inside and eat pasteis de nata, enjoyed the tarts
