Historic Portuguese cafe fuses tradition with contemporary design
Viterbo Interior Design Ateliers designed the new space for the world-renowned Pastéis de Belém (Portuguese egg tarts)—a Lisbon institution since 1837.
This new retail area, situated beside the original shop, was designed to complement the historic space and cater to the increasing number of visitors.
The new space features light oak woods, handmade tiles, textured lime plaster walls, bespoke counters, and shelving combined with brass accents. The brand’s iconic blue and white tones are reinterpreted in contemporary textures and patterns.
In 2026, Viterbo Interior Design Ateliers will lead the full redesign of the flagship store, aiming to preserve the charm and authenticity of the original shop while enhancing its functionality, flow, and aesthetic coherence with the new retail space.
