No question about which pastel de nata is the best ... Very lovely and spacious place too, so better try to go inside than take away

We went to Belém for the pastries like every one else. Although, they were very good they weren't better than any other shop in Portugal. What set this place apart from all the others was their customer service, or lack thereof. It was the worst...he had in out three weeks in Portugal. We waited in line to get our tart, the person that served us was having a conversation with a friend, and made us stand there waiting for her to finish her conversation like there wasn't a HUGE line waiting. When we asked the person standing next to her if she could help us she said to us, "you're on vacation, you can wait!" and walked away. Finally, another customer had to tell her to stop talking and do her job. She was annoyed by this and just threw the tarts at all of us, as if we were the ones inconveniencing her. It seems like they don't even care to try, bc they know ppl will continue to go regardless. All that to say that I wouldn't recommend it, specially if you can get the tarts anywhere without having them thrown at you!More

Beautiful custard tarts. Not too much cinnamon in them unlike other places. The nicest we had during our visit. Don’t be daunted by the takeaway queue - it moves very quickly

Best natas in Lisbon. We tried natas across town. Some are too dry, some are too much cinnamon, and some are too sweet. This one strikes the perfect balance.

They were truly the best pastels de nata in all of our visits in Portugal. The pastels were fresh, crispy, slightly warm, and not too sweet. Go ahead and sit inside - they were very quick. The only complain was the rude young lady at...the entrance of the dining area. Definitely worth a visitMore

The best pastels de nata of all we’ve tasted in Lisbon, as they were served warm, accompanied by powder sugar and cinnamon. The price is very little above other places.

The pasteis are nice but the staff are very rude and unfriendly. I asked for a Diet Coke, she gave me a normal coke. I realised just as I tapped my card to pay and she refused to swap it for me! Bizarre.

Delicious natas, other pastries we tried were very average. Natas are the specialty and they should stick with them. Somehow there was also a miscommunication and we ordered 6x natas to take away and I got served a tuna sandwich. The waiter claimed I ordered...this, but I assured him I didn’t as I am allergic to fish and seafood. He didn’t look pleased but brought the correct order out. Not sure why we would have visited a place famous for Pasteis de natas and ordered a tuna sandwich.More

I went in the evening, the line was long but moved quickly the wait time was less than 10 minutes. The pastries taste better than the ones bought at other shops. This is a must-visit when you visit Portugal.

Oh yes! That’s what we did! The price is the same and your server can bring you the pastries when you’re ready to leave and just charge it on your bill.
