Restaurant Review – Gelateria Bellini (Coimbra, Portugal)

After arriving in Coimbra and checking in to our hotel we wanted a quick snack. Just a block from the hotel was a charming central square surrounded by historic buildings and restaurants.

We decided on the Gelateria Bellini as it had outdoor seating looking directly into the square and the statue of Joaquim António de Aguiar.

We first tried the Custard Tart that Portugal is famous for. Alex gave it the Mark Wiens head tilt and thought it delicious, the crust was different than what I expected. I was expecting a fillo dough type crust and this was very crunchy but thicker.

We ordered a hotdog and hamburger and both were delicious, I thought it was the best hotdog I ever had.
