About This Tour in Lisbon

Experience authentic Portuguese cuisine on our award-winning Lisbon Food Tour through the Baixa District, the city’s only flat neighbourhood, and one of the tastiest. With everything arranged in advance, you’ll skip the lines and dive straight into traditional tastes as your expert local guide leads you from the Tagus River through grand squares and past landmarks like Igreja de São Domingos, sharing the story of the “new Lisbon” rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake. We'll take you to cosy taverns, family-run restaurants, and bustling street-food spots. Along the way, you’ll enjoy classic petiscos, fresh seafood dishes, and iconic bites like the bifana, all paired with drinks such as Vinho Verde, local beer, and Ginjinha. And no food tour is complete without a sweet finale, so you’ll try a traditional Portuguese dessert to round off your culinary adventure before heading into the night with fellow food lovers. Eat like a local and experience Lisbon one bite at a time.
