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.

How Custard Tarts (Pastel de Nata) Are Made in Portugal With A 100-Year-Old Recipe | Regional Eats
33 Comments
My favorite pastery of all time. I had my first in Portugal and I've loved it ever since.
Every time I'm in Lisbon I make the not-so-quick journey to Belem and buy these…. by public transport it's about 40 minutes from the city center including walking, but it's beyond worth it. They're so delicious and generic bakeries in portugal don't make them as good. Once I was walking back to the train eating one and a seagull stole it out of my hand right next to my face. its wing touched my cheek.
hey i want to ask. is this different things than portuguese egg tart?
I want only a bite, and then I will be satisfied with my life.
The pastry shop did not inherited it – a business man, who owned the shop, bought the recipe from the monastery and patented the name 'Pastel de Belém'. As people thought it was ridiculous to have to pay to call a sweet by its name, another name was found and today the sweet is commonly known throughout the country/world as 'Pastel de nata'.
Also even though they don't tell you the ingredients, there are egg yolks and lemon. Pastel de nata is about 3 things: the texture (puff pastry), the color (yolk) and the taste (lemon, sugar and milk).
Can you find these in the USA ?
These without a doubt are excellent, iconic artisan pastries and every time I go to those parts I'll grab a few. But in my opinion, there are other places in Lisbon and, for instance, in Porto where the pastéis de nata are more to my liking. Of the Portuense ones my favourite is "Fabrica da Nata", but the others (Manteigaria, Nata Lisboa, Neta 3 e Natas D' Ouro) leave me pretty satisfied also.
PS: I'm not differentiating pasteis de Belém vs pastéis de nata. But I respect those who do
My girlfriend is a tiny tart herself.
I had them – the Belem ones – and they are great
these are invented by the chinese
Claudia <3
who puts lemon on these 😂
OMG they’re amazing. So delicious.
I need a dozen of these sooner than now. I'm salivating 😭
Not sharing the recipe, how childish
Grt
👌👌
Oh! My gosh! Those custard pies look incredibly delicious!
Ate a lot of them when i was a kid. All this creamy goodness you know. Now, as an adult, i can even see them anymore, let alone ingest.
Padaria Central in Lagos serves pasteis so good… Check out the rest of their offfer as well. Yes, this is a product placement of some sort. Besides, I just told the story and recomended a friend of mine to visit the place, since she is going Portugal next week.
400°C?!?!? That can’t be right. That’s 752°F!!! 🔥🔥🔥
NEEDS THAT NUTMEG
100% hype. Slightly better than egg tart pie.
I like them, but they are very caloric for such a small pastry haha, so I normally don't eat it.
All love to taste u look awesome beautiful 💋❤️❤️
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.
Thanks for another great video. I walked by this place and was wondering what all the fuss is about 😅
Dear person reading this let's love one another in this world to beyond a gazillion times and beyond that and beyond that and beyond that and beyond that!😀

Color grading is really weird in this video. Makes the food look very unappetizing, which is a shame because it's probably super delicious.
The best pastry in the world pastel de nata made in Portugal

So basically they are a minimally sweetened custard tart made with flakey pastry. Interesting I was expecting a pasta dish.
