Overview
Spend a morning eating your way through three delicious Lisbon neighborhoods: Baixa, Chiado, and Cais do Sodré. Along the way, you’ll discover the historic and modern eateries that make Lisbon what it is, sampling delicacies from classic Portuguese-style codfish to the inimitable custard tart. With each and every bite, you’ll learn how Lisbon’s story can’t be told without its food, and gain invaluable knowledge for eating like a local on your own.
Start your morning among the locals at the oldest pastry shop in Lisbon. Taste a delicious selection of homemade sweet pastries while sipping a classic Portuguese-style espresso.
Next, you’re off to the only traditional Portuguese grocery store left in Lisbon. Your guide will explain Portugal’s obsession with salt cod, and you’ll try another beloved local product: acorn-fed Iberian ham.
Time for a drink! You’ll enjoy Lisbon’s signature sour cherry liqueur at the 130-year-old family-run stall that does it best.
Your next stop is a no-frills bar serving up the best bifana (marinated pork sandwich) in the city. This buzzing bar is constantly packed with locals who can’t get enough.
Next, it’s about time for lunch, and there’s no better place to enjoy it than among Lisboetas at a traditional Portuguese tasca. Here you’ll try home-cooked classics of Portuguese cuisine with your choice of beer or wine.
After that, it’s time to discover one of the hidden gems of Portuguese food: gourmet canned seafood! Learn about the history of canning in Portugal and sample some delicious preserved goods for yourself.
Last but not least, you’ll finish on a sweet note with Portugal’s most famous pastry: the pastel de nata, or custard tart. You’ll learn all about their surprising history and get an up-close look at these sweet treats being made.
