Why it's worth checking out

Sweet Belem sits on New Canterbury Road in Petersham, in the heart of Sydney's inner-west 'Little Portugal'. A renowned Portuguese bakery, it's earned a strong reputation for its authentic Portuguese baking — most famously its beloved Portuguese tarts — the kind of genuine, quality spot that's become a destination for fans of Portuguese sweets.

The appeal is that combination of authentic Portuguese baking, the famous custard tarts and a genuine taste of Petersham's Portuguese heritage, perfect for a sweet treat, a coffee or something to take away. In an area celebrated for its Portuguese food, a bakery that's nailed the classics becomes a real fixture, and Sweet Belem has clearly won over a big, loyal following.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,100 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. The range, daily baking, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular bakery can sell out of favourites and gets busy on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and arriving early before a special trip — particularly if you've got your heart set on the famous Portuguese tarts in Petersham.
