Lisbon may look unmistakably Old World, but beneath its nostalgic storefronts and historic churches lies a deeply cosmopolitan city shaped by centuries of global trade and migration. On this food tour, we’ll explore that complex identity through the flavors and stories of the Lisboetas. Starting near the Estrela Basilica, we’ll trace Lisbon’s connections to the spice trade before heading to Campo de Ourique, a neighborhood with the feel of a village within the city. We’ll sip traditional ginjinha and explore one of Lisbon’s finest markets, where longtime fishmongers, butchers and bakers work alongside newer vendors. Along the way, we’ll taste seasonal Portuguese dishes, bacalhau, cheeses and wines, visit a family-run restaurant and a private club serving vindalho, an ancestor of Goan vindaloo. We’ll also sample savory pastries before finishing, naturally, with one of Lisbon’s best pastéis de nata.

What an amazing experience!

What an amazing experience! Celia is a knowledgeable and professional guide...great insights and great personality. Not only was the food excellent, but the history behind each stop and offering nicely added complexity to the flavors. And it's always a plus to discover locations that you would otherwise never notice. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat.

Portugal’s Wide Influence on World Cuisine

Celia was wonderful! She started with a quick and entertaining history of Portugal’s world exploration and its impact on cuisine in the country. The we walked around a beautiful residential height and tried about 8 small bites that illustrated the world influences on the food. Finally we had a meal together at a lovely authentic Portuguese restaurant and then to a bakery for dessert. All the food was excellent and our guide provided interesting and informative context to each bite. I highly rec...read more

A Delicious Taste of Local Lisbon: Food, History, and Hidden Gems

Kika is an incredible guide! She started our tour by explaining the history of Portugal through drawing, which was such a creative and effective way to absorb and understand a lot of information. We explored a less touristy part of the city, where we truly felt like locals and got to experience everyday Lisbon through its morning coffee and lunchtime rituals. We enjoyed an amazing variety of foods, from fresh cheeses and fruit to fish stews, tinned squid, Indian food, candied nuts, and deliciou...read more

Great time in Lisbon!

We had a great guide, and on top of that, another guide was visiting from another country and joined! The restaurant stops were fun. Such characters! Don't eat much before you go on the tour to have room for the great food and drinks!
