During the tour, you will have the opportunity to go where Portuguese usually eat and you will taste several types of food and drink. We will stop at several traditional and modern spaces.
We start in a former convent, now a brewery, tasting "ovas" (fish roe), octopus salad, cod with corn, lupins, and beer.
We'll continue in the café of José Avillez, the first Portuguese to receive one of the most prestigious awards in the world of gastronomy. Here we will enjoy the delicious portuguesinha with a glass of wine.
Taste codfish cake and "Bifana" with a beer surrounded by locals.
We'll finish the tour with a traditional sweet, a tasty coffee and a toast of Ginjinha in a popular Mouraria tavern. Enjoy! ;)

Elena was a wonderful guide during our food tour! Her knowledge of the history of the area along with her culinary recommendations were superb. We stopped at a famous bookshop where she showed us books of local food by region. Her enthusiasm was infectious. She read each of us well and pointed things out she knew we’d like. Highly recommend this tour. Very tasty!
We are glad you enjoyed the great food Lisbon has to offer! Kindest regards, Lisboa Autêntica
Our private culinary tour with the very friendly guide Sandra was a complete success. In addition to the many little delicacies, we learned a lot about culture and history and had a great time. It was a very nice evening. Many thanks to Sandra! Silke & Timo
Helena brought us to spots that we never would have found on our own. In the process she gave a city tour with stories and advice on where to go later. Lisbon is very hilly and she also found us the easiest way to get around. It was a fun and memorable time
Elena was fantastic!! Highly recommend this tour. It was our first day and first day in Lisbon and we learned a lot of great information. Thoroughly enjoyable!
We lucked out with our guide, Sophia. She was absolutely wonderful, fun, and very knowledgeable. This was one of our favorite experiences we did our entire trip. Definitely recommend!
Tour to discover the city and its precious places with the guide Anna. What about it? It made us fall in love with the place, its history, its views, involving us in every minute of the tour. Very prepared, clear in explanations and passionate about her work. We recommend everyone to have this experience as soon as they arrive in Lisbon! Thank you so much!!!
Anna was our guide for a few hours in Lisbon. He told us stories and anecdotes of this city making us discover small glimpses to admire it at its best. In the middle of the morning we tasted together a nice pastel with a good coffee stopping in the main street of Lisbon. Anna is really nice and very prepared, you can see that she loves her job. I highly recommend everyone to join this tour to discover the real Lisbon. Thank you Anna for accompanying us during our trip
Personable and knowledgeable guide. Excellent value. Interesting tour stops. Tremendous experience. Recommended!
My husband and I enjoyed the food and culture tour. Carla, Our guide was wonderful. She gave us a lot of history and made us feel as if we were just friends walking around Lisbon having a nice afternoon. She selected some nice examples of Portuguese food, drinks and pastries! Doing this tour at the start of your Lisbon visit is a good idea. It helps you to feel a little more comfortable selecting and ordering food and drinks later on during your trip !
A good combination of info and food, very nice tourguide, good Pace, good food and wine, ideal way to discover the city
Thank you for your kind words. Kind regards, Lisboa Autêntica team
