Nevertheless, it is worth to go to the Antiga Confeitaria de Belém, because the café is simply beautiful and the Pastéis de Belém are still served warm. If the café is full you can wait until a place is free or you take a pack (6 pieces) with you and sit in the park opposite.

Ginjinha
A specialty of Lisbon is "Ginjinha", a sour cherry liqueur that is sold in a small bar on the Largo de São Domingos.
