Pasteis de Belem

Since 1837, this famous cafe in Belem, Lisbon, has been churning out its sensational speciality made from a secret recipe - Pasteis de Belem, a custard cream tart with a slightly burnt crust on top, sprinkled with cinnamon. It tastes best warm, but you’ll want to take some home with you (in nicely packaged tubes of multiple pasteis). It’s hard to find a table, so you have to be fast at spotting people leaving.
