| Sampling the Pasteis de Nata at Antigua Confeitaria de Belem |
MONDAY 5 NOVEMBER 2007
Still in search of the best Pasteis de Nata, we caught the train to the Belem area of Lisbon and went straight to Antiga Confeitaria de Belem so that Roger could judge whether this really was the place that made the best Pasteis de Nata. He had to have two, just to make sure, but in his humble opinion, they definitely make the best custard tart.
We then caught the tram to the centre of Lisbon and went up the Elevador de Santa Justa which was built at the turn of the century by an apprentice of Alexandre Gustave Eiffel. The walkway at the top links with the Bairro Alto. A spiral staircase leads to a café at the very top with spectacular views of Lisbon.
We finished our visit by having lunch in the Brasileira Café in the Chiado district
