Fábrica dos Pastéis de Belém

Don't bother queueing - there are loads of seats in the back with food and drinks at takeaway prices. There are two massive rooms at the back - keep going back and to the right and you'll find them.

The original pastel de nata - you can't miss this when you're in Lisbon. Don't queue for takeaway , go for table seating and order a few with a coffee . Then order a box or two for takeaway !

Don't miss trying these fresh Pastéis in great tile-style interior on your Lisbon visit. Don't be put off by the take-away queues. Just go ahead inside the cafe . There are many rooms.

Better to sit down & grab a sandwich too (big enough to share if you're not ravenous). Don't forget to use the cinnamon at table! Pastries are as if phyllo dough , churro & Chinese egg tarts had a baby

Pro tip: skip the takeout line in the front, and walk all the way to the back to get an outdoor table . It’s a nice, covered and breezy area, so you can enjoy your pastry with a nice cup of coffee ????????

It might not be the best pasteis in Lisboa right now (it’s actually amazing, but I’m a Manteigaria fan) but everything started here, so you should try it here, too. And pls don’t miss the monastery !

Best custard tarts ! Worth the trip and waiting in line as it moves very quickly! If you go later at night around 9-10 it is way less busy! Would recommend the tarts and hot chocolate !

Their portuguese tarts are So good. For takeaway orders they include a sachet of cinnamon and a sachet of icing sugar but they are perfect on their own. Line gets long but moves quickly.

Best pastela de nata (not on the photo - actually they are ceramic ones????) and torta de laranja! Try both. Dont stand in any of the lines just try to find a place after the most left entrance.

Beautiful crunchy pastéis . Don't let the queue scare you, it moves fast. You can also sit inside, it has plenty of space(s). Pastel de nata 1,10€.

Egg-cellent tarts . Cant miss it if you're in Lisbon, the must try food. Simply awesome and goes really well with a cup of hot chocolaty goodness. Two thumbs up!

Oldest and owner of pastel de nata pastry . You might have to wait in a queue but it is worth it! Best pastel da nata in Lisbon. Take the train or the sightseeing boat and get off at Belem.

The pastéis de nata are amazing! Probably the best ones I’ve ever had. Not crazy about the other menu items I’ve tried.

Ignore the long line out front and head back to take one of the 400 seats they have. If your not sure what else to order the waiters have photos on their phones so just ask. Everything delicious.

Eat at least two!! Delicious and secret recipe from 1837. Go straight to the counter and make the desired number with your fingers (no need to sit inside, queue goes fast). Get them in a box to go!

Best place for the famous custard tart (de nata ), dont wait at the queues which are for takeaway orders . Take the left door and go inside and find any empty table, then enjoy ur tart with coffee .

You want to avoid the outside line by going inside and grabbing a table. More than 20k pastéis a day! Crispy and warm all day long!

Pastéis de nata were created before the 18th century by the Jerónimos Monastery . In 1834-37, the monastery closed, a nearby sugar refinery bought the recipe, and opened Fábrica de Pastéis de Belém.

The tastiest, crispest and cheapest(!) Egg Tarts I've had in Lisbon. They actually invented the pastry , no wonder it's a tourist highlight. Tram 15 takes your right to the shop.

Skip the takeaway line and just get table service (there are over 400 seats inside). It's much faster! Birthplace of the venerable pasteis de nata , with a recipe originally developed by nuns

Awesome pasties (small crisy custard tarts ). Huge rush and long queues. But it is worth it. Eat them while they are hot. Right next to Belem stop. Reach via bus 727, 728, tram 15.

Avoid rush hour/daytime. And once you're there, make sure to order already 2 pastéis to start with, cos who are we kidding, you'll want more after you're done with the 1st one ;)

Best pastel de Nata ! Even though taking some back home (as a present for the loved ones or for oneself) is a must I would definitely recommend eating them there. Warm and with cinnamon on top.

A must visit place when in Lisbon. Pastéis de Belém is the classic choice. If you want to skip the line go directly to Take away line . Gets super crowded on weekends.

A must taste (?) and see. Long lines , either you wait for a table or to take away . For best experience, I recommend you take a seat and try the famous Pastéis

Natas were really nice. Inside is so crowded but it is teally big and there is space for everyone. Instead of taking away try table service, you will wait less. Worths going all the way.

Best pastel de nata in Lisboa! Despite of being loved by locals and tourists ,they keep prices affordable ????

the Pasteis de Nata are still warm from the oven, with a strong egg like flavour, definitely some of the best in Lisbon. Not very keen on the savoury stuff though, The codfish balls were not as good????

cute decor and of course delicious Pastéis but it felt a bit too touristy to me. And I actually preferred the pastéis from the Time Out Market which are made on site and come out still warm.

There are two separate lines : one for takeout and one for sit down. We sat down and the egg tarts came warm. So delicious! Would skip on the rest of the baked goods on the menu though.

Really great custard tart ! The queue looks so long but actually it moves quickly, just bought a box of 6 and finished in few minutes! Then brought another box to the hotel . Finish them soon!

The original recipe of the ever popular Pastel de Nata . Tip: Walk in and take a seat in one of the rooms inside. The huge line is for take out .

Where pastel de nata (portugese tart ) is invented! Amazing building that used to be a monastery . take a walk along the water to Torre de Belém after.

The service is VERY slow in the table area. Bring a lot of time and patience with you. And discover the Latino/a in you and be demanding.But yes, no doubt the pasteis de nata are amazing!

The best Pastel de Belém (and only one, the other ones are Nata ) I´ve ever had. I was born in Brazil, and this sweet is very popular here, but these ones from Belém are the best, no doubt!

An incredibly long line of people who want to sit inside. It is better takeaway and enjoy in the park near the tower. Pastel de nata is incredible

THE pasteis place, but their other stuff is very tasty, too. A definite MUST visit when in Lisbon/Belem. Also: this place is much bigger than you'd think, there is plenty of space in the back!

Amazing custard tarts . Would recommend going inside and sitting down as much less of a queue. Lived up to all the top reviews and expectations. Drinks were good as well .

Truly great. They also have coffee and other sweets and sandwiches ! Also the have 400 indoor seat. The place is huge. Highly recommended

Put some cinnamon on top and get ready for the TASTE EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!! So warm and delicious... We got 2 pastéis de Belém each because 1 is not enough!

It really lives up to its hype. You’ve never been to Lisbon if you’ve never tried the pastel de nata here. The pastry is crispy and the custard sweetness is just right.

Excellent pastries and savoury options. The service was very quick also. Don’t wait in the line outside, head in the side door and all the way out the back to get a table, heaps of tables Coffee ????????

Don't wait in a huge line ! Go inside! There are many rooms and a terrace . And it's also possible to order "to go". And you can enjoy the process of cooking.

Una sola parola: meraviglioso. Immancabile una visita, le pasteis sono squisite. Just few words: wonderful. Amazing pastries with cream, absolutely delicious. Worth a visit, it's a must-see place.

Supremely busy in the summer! Come visit during the off-peak tourist season if you get a chance and slowly savour your perfect pastel de nata . Also do give the cod pastry & shrimp paste pastry a try!

After more than 170 years of being a traditional sweet of Portugal, I have no doubt that this will continue to be a world wonder why it can not be copied... A must-have every time I am in Lisbon

This typical pastry was born here. You'll find always the line here, but then you'll eat a great hot mix of puff pastry and cream! If you want to match it with a coffee the table service is mandatory.

What a great piece of pastry ! Those Pastéis are incredibly good! Despite of the huge line you can find in the pastelaria , the service is really fast, you'll find yourself eating a pasteis in a while.

Historic place for pastel de nata . Long queue that moves fast at an industrious pace. Delicious and worth the wait, although I prefer the de nata from Manteigaria :)

Come early, or wait... They're definitely worth the wait! Take a look inside. It's a lot bigger than you'd think. You can even see the Pastéis being made!
