Established in 1837, Pastéis de Belém, was born out of necessity. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, there was a general store attached to a sugar cane refinery next to the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos. Due to the liberal revolution, it was a difficult time for religious people and someone from the nearby monastery offered pastries for sale, known as Pastéis de Belém.
