Ultimate Lisbon Pastel de Nata Food Tour 🍮 Best Portuguese Egg Tarts Tasted! 🇵🇹 Belém vs Nacional!

Come join us on a quest to find the best pastel de nata in Lisbon, Portugal as we visit three different establishments eating Portuguese egg tarts all over the city. Pastéis de nata first originated from Santa Maria de Belém in the 18th century by Catholic monks at the Jerónimos Monastery where they are called Pastel de Belém (plural) or Pastéis de Belém (singular). Requiring egg-whites to starch clothes it was common to use the leftover yolks for baking which resulted in these tarts being created. Fortunately, we had the chance to visit Belem to sample the original ones along with two other places. They are typically served warm with icing sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top. I should also note that the Portuguese egg tarts are popular in both Brazil and Macau as well. The following is a list of the 3 places where we tried them from: 1) Fábrica de Pastéis de Belém Rua de Belem n0 84 a 92 84 A 92 Lisbon 1300-085, Portugal +351 21 363 7423 2) Confeitaria Nacional Address: Praça da Figueira 18B, 1100-241 Lisboa, Portugal Phone: +351 21 342 4470 3) Manteigaria Address: Rua do Loreto 2, 1200-108 Lisboa, Portugal Phone: +351 21 347 1492 Out of the three we thought the best pastel de nata was at Manteigaria although we'd highly recommend all three spots as the quality was excellent throughout the range of establishments. 🍮 Pastel de Nata in Lisbon: The Best Portuguese Egg Tarts? | Belém vs Manteigaria vs Nacional! 🇵🇹 🍮 The Ultimate Lisbon Pastel de Nata Food Tour: Best Portuguese Egg Tarts Tasted! 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 Pastel de Nata Adventure Begins in Lisbon Welcome back!
