Lisbon's renowned pastry shop, Pastéis de Belém, expands business by opening a second location, exciting many for its upcoming visit!

In the heart of Lisbon, the renowned Fábrica dos Pastéis de Belém has expanded its operations, opening a second location at 68 Rua de Belém. Established in 1837, the original bakery has been a historical landmark for the production of Pastéis de Belém, a special type of Portuguese custard tart, attracting locals and tourists alike.

The new location, designed by Viterbo Interior Design, pays homage to the original workshop while modernizing its look. Natural materials, Portuguese azulejos, and a blue and white colour palette have been used to create an inviting atmosphere that mirrors the charm of the original store.

The second location aims to reduce the wait for fans of Portuguese tarts, as the original store can sometimes see long queues. The new store offers the same taste of the original Pastéis de Belém, ensuring that the tradition of the iconic pastry is preserved.

The Pastéis de Belém recipe was sold to a nearby small shop in 1837, leading to the establishment of Fábrica dos Pastéis de Belém. Since then, the bakery has been perpetuating the tradition of Pastéis de Belém. The second pastry shop previously occupied the terrace exit of the main store.

It is important to note that while other brands such as Manteigaria - Fábrica de Pastéis de Nata operate multiple locations, they are distinct from Pastéis de Belém. If you are asking about the second location for a different business like Manteigaria, it has recently opened new stores including one in Alfama in July 2025.

For those interested in visiting the original Fábrica dos Pastéis de Belém, it is located at Rua de Belém No 84 a 92, Lisbon, open daily from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The contact details are: 1300-085 Lisboa, Tel: +351 21 363 7423, website: pasteisdebelem.pt.

In 2026, a complete renovation of the main store is planned, ensuring that the bakery continues to be a must-visit destination for Pastéis de Belém enthusiasts.
