Well, the line was short and the critics were right.  The custard tarts at Pastéis de Belem are the best.  You can taste the egg in the custard – unlike others.  Also the crust was thinner (no preference) and crispier.  Bonus:  They slip them into a cardboard sleeve and then into a nice carrying bag (above).  THEN they toss in a packet each of cinnamon and powdered sugar to sprinkle on top.  Dave & I took ours just down the street and propped up a building while we wolfed them down – warm.  They could become addicting.

This is the scene inside.  The 2 ladies behind the counter take your order and money, and give you a receipt.  You then proceed to your left and queue up for one of the gentlemen to fill your order.  A lively, friendly place.  There is also sit-down service, and their website shows the other products they make.  Life is good –  Laura
