sorry for the bad quality photos but we only had our mobiles with us. after the ethnology museum, and because we were so close, we decided to go to "pastéis de belém". they are some very traditional conventual sweets made with puff pastry and egg cream. normally we eat it with cinnamon and sugar on top, and in here, they come warm straight from the oven every day. the secret here is that the recipe is, well, really secret. the sweets are so so good that noone can give the secret recipe away, people working there actually sign a statement saying they will never give it away! when the church separated from the state, and it's financing, they had to find a way to get money. in this case, the monks from the jerónimos monastery started making this delicious sweets that nowadays are still appreciated. it is always full at the entrance but if you go inside, you'll find a table for sure NHAM!
