EN Hello my lovelies,

when you are in Belem, you should definetely visit the famous cafe selling "Pasteis de Belem", but you should be careful: In June / July is high season, meaning many tourists are marching towards this place. You will wait forever in a queue and either get the opportunity to eat the pasteis quickly in an overcrowded room, while the annoying looks of the waiting company will not leave you alone, or decide for a "take away" and enjoy the Portuguese specialty in the nearest park. To be honest, the pasteis de nata of Mantaneigra, which were around the corner of our apartmenten in Bairro Alto, were much more delicious than those in Belem. They were still served warm, a short queue, and you should definitively sprinkle them with cinnamon for the perfect enjoyment.
