Good food, good coffee in Lisbon

If you are planning to go to Portugal, I believe you are also ready for a ton of Portuguese egg custard tart hunting. For that, you would not want to miss this iconic store - Pastel de Belém, which literally in Portuguese means egg tart. Here’s a little fun history. The birthplace of Pastel de Belém is Lisbon. The pastries were created by Catholic monks of Jerónimos Monastery in Santa Maria de Belém, Lisbon, around the beginning of the 18th century. The monks had relocated from France, where similar sweets were widely available. So, Pastel de Belém actually invented the famous egg tart back in 1837. After all these years, the original still remains the best from the taste and the scent imo. The texture is also rich, and the appearance is so pleasing. Really enjoyed it. In this post I also shared some other photos of coffee from a random cafe on the street, another egg tart stores and Portuguese pork sandwich from i think a mall stall. Anyway, enjoy your egg tarts in Lisbon! #lisbon #lisboa #lisbonfood #lisbonfoodguide #portugal
