Description of the Lisbon Food Tour
Get ready to explore Lisbon the tastiest way possible: on foot and through food. This Lisbon Food Tour is a delicious introduction to the flavors, stories, and neighborhoods that make the city so special.
We start at the iconic Praça do Comércio, under the Arco da Rua Augusta, where your local guide will greet you and set the tone for a relaxed, food-filled adventure.
Throughout the tour, we’ll make around 5 stops, with 10 carefully selected tastings that reflect Portugal’s rich culinary heritage, from sweet to savory, from snacks to sips. Between bites, you’ll also get to explore the historic heart of Lisbon, learning fun and fascinating facts about the city’s architecture, culture, and lifestyle.
Here’s a taste of what’s waiting for you:
- Pastel de nata + espresso combo – A match made in heaven. Learn how this beloved custard tart became Portugal’s sweet national treasure.
- Port wine, cheese & cured meats – Sample regional specialties inside a century-old grocery that locals still shop at today.
- Ginjinha – Try this sweet cherry liqueur at one of the oldest spots in town, and yes, we’ll teach you how to pronounce it like a pro.
- Codfish and green wine – Sit down to try one of Portugal’s 365 ways of preparing codfish (yes, one for each day of the year!) paired with a refreshing Vinho Verde.
- Bifana sandwich & local beer – This spicy pork sandwich is Portugal’s #1 street food, and we’ll enjoy it as the locals do: standing with a cold beer in hand.
- Secret sweet stop – We won’t spoil the surprise, but we always end the tour with something sweet and unexpected. Trust us, you’ll love it.
Throughout the tour, your local expert guide will share not only what you’re eating but also why it matters. Connecting the dishes to Portugal’s history, traditions, and people.
