You'll find egg custard tarts in pretty much every bakery in Portugal. Pastéis de nata are beloved in Portugal the same way croissants are in France. And while tons of bakeries around the country make pastéis de nata, the original version is made at a Lisbon bakery using a 100-year-old secret recipe. It's the only bakery where they can be called “pastéis de Belém.

  • Pastéis de Belém. I remember a time when it was a much smaller place, which served other sweet items as well. But even then, the queues would extend around the building. My parents went there in their teens after school way back in the 1970’s. If you travel with them, inside their cardboard package, for two days, they still are delicious and soft. Proud of this (my) Portuguese heritage.

    Pasteis de Nata were brought to Macau (Portuguese district in China,) and adopted by Chinese bakeries to create Egg Tarts, and made into a staple in HK cafes with milk tea.

    I've been going to this bakery ever since 2006 and they have the best pasteis de nata in the world. Their coxinhas are pretty good too, super recommend.
  • @tigernmas020
    I remember visiting Lisbon and Belem a few years back. The taste of the tarts in this store are hands down the best
  • @ivydaphne7483
    The way there are paired at the end and the explanation why is so adorable. These egg tarts are delicious! Definitely one of the best pastries of all time....
  • @gilvieira9231
    As a Portuguese i confirm this video and their review, it's in fact one of the most prestigious pastel of Portugal. Highly recommend it!!! And its not pricey!!! Perfect to an afternoon snack ❤️❤️❤️
  • @Holmer188
    My great grandma taught me her version of this. It is my mom’s favorite. This brought back many great memories. Thanks for sharing.
  • Went there and dropped my pastel twice. The second time i was so embarrased the clerk gave me a third for free. I was even more ashamed and ate the delicious thing almost in tears.
  • In Brazil this pastry is very popular with the name of pastelzinho de belém, every good bakery has this pastry and is always so good you want to full your mouth with it everyday

    One of the best places to visit in Portugal, a day we will never forget. They are just amazingly delicious.
  • @BAVMS
    Hehe! Love to see my country's food represented on your awesome channel! I've tried other Pastéis de Nata, but I just love those the most, their just unique. :)
  • @StevieWeebieLee
    I've been there before like around in 2014, and it was the BEST treat ever.
  • @Lil-Dragon
    Love these tarts. A shop in town makes them after they moved to the area. Would love to eat them in their country of origin
  • @7twenty8
    One of my all-time favorite pastries!
  • @huntrrams
    The reason why I love my visit in Portugal: their hospitality and the EGG TARTS :)
  • @RippleDrop.
    My favorite pastery of all time. I had my first in Portugal and I've loved it ever since.
  • @ladyc09
    We'll be in Portugal next week! I'm beyond excited
  • @DavidLee-df888
    Everyone in my family loves these! And yes, they should not be too sweet or else they become too much. And the absolute best thing is that LIDL has been selling them for quite a few years here in the UK.
  • My favourite pastry and blowing up in South Africa in the past year, would love to try it in Portugal!
