Lisbon Food Tour with Portuguese Wine: Taste the Best of Portugal
Description
Discover three of the “seven wonders” of Portuguese cuisine on our award-winning Lisbon Food Tour through the Baixa District, the city’s only flat neighbourhood and a hub of history, flavour, and culture. With everything arranged in advance, you’ll skip the lines and dive straight into authentic 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. This immersive food tour brings you into taverns, family-run restaurants, and beloved street-food stops. Along the way, you’ll try classic petiscos, savour seafood favourites, and sample iconic bites like the bifana, all paired with drinks such as Vinho Verde, local beer, and Ginjinha. We end on a sweet note with a traditional Portuguese dessert, the perfect finale before heading into the night with your fellow food lovers. Eat like a local and book your Lisbon Food Tour today.

Itinerary
Meet your hosts in front of the Supremo Tribunal de Justiça. They will be holding a yellow "Carpe Diem Tours" sign.
Follow your expert guide through Baixa to a cosy tavern renowned for its flavour-packed Portuguese petiscos. Here, you’ll dig into classics like freshly grilled chouriço and bacalhau à Brás, served with a perfectly paired local wine.
Next, we’ll visit a traditional Portuguese seafood restaurant for grilled sardines and comforting seafood rice. And the best part? You’ll enjoy it all with a refreshing glass of iconic Vinho Verde.
After a sit-down meal, dive into Portuguese street food with the legendary bifana, a tender steak sandwich simmered in garlic and wine. Don’t forget to save room for a crispy coxinha or croqueta, perfectly paired with an ice-cold beer.
We’ll visit a historic liquor shop, established in 1890, to sample Portugal’s beloved Ginjinha, a rich sour cherry liqueur that perfectly primes your palate for the final sweet treat.
No food tour is complete without dessert, finish off with Portugal’s iconic pastel de nata, a flaky, golden custard tart that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

This was a fantastic food tour- Rui was a wonderful guide and the food was all so delicious including the best Bacalhau à Brás I have had in Portugal! The quantity of food is quite a lot so make sure you are prepared to feast, this is not just a food tour with tiny samples, which was a very welcome surprise. Rui amazed us all by remembering the names of everyone on the tour and we became almost like a little family! We booked this tour last minute because our plans to go to Sintra got cancelled but it became one of the highlights of our trip. We got to know all the other guests on the trip and it nearly felt like a family in the end with us exchanging contacts and hoping to keep in touch. Thank you to Rui for facilitating such a wonderful experience!

Our guide was margarit and she was so so friendly. Told us interesting historical stories but kept them short and told them in a funny and engaging way. The food was very local and as someone who doesn’t love all wines, the wine was sweet and delicious! We were a group of maybe 10-15
