Pastelaria Aloma

In the friendly Campo de Ourique neighborhood we can find pastry Aloma, who has won the Contest of the best Pastel de Nata three times. This title helped to bring more people to the house. But despite Aloma pastries have been mentioned by the New York Times and CNN, 85% of usual customers remain national. It is ideal to escape to queues to try Pastel de Nata in Belém and still taste this delicacy at its best.
