Taberna da Rua das Flores

The oldest baker of Pastéis the Belem! It is worth going there not only because of the cakes, but to see the wonderful original tiles inside the building! You can also see them baking the pastel the Nata! A nice experience! If you do not have time to go, try the pastel de Nata of Manteigaria. I cannot decide which one is better!

This is the oldest area of Lisbon. One that was not destroyed in 1755, by the famous earthquake, fire and tsunami. Never ending narrow streets that seem to be randomly built can make you feel as if you are in a labyrinth. It is one of the quaintest area of Lisbon, with lots of little typical restaurants. A unique kind of place!
