About this experience

Discover the historic and modern eateries that make Lisbon what it is. From classic Portuguese-style codfish to the inimitable flaky, buttery custard tart, you’ll taste centuries-old recipes alongside modern favorites. Along with your expert guide and small group, you'll eat your way through three delicious neighborhoods: Baixa, Chiado, and Cais do Sodré. As you sip on Lisbon's signature sour cherry liqueur, savor the city's best sandwich, and sit down for a meal at a traditional Portuguese tasca, you'll meet the friendly faces behind centuries-old establishments. All together, you'll enjoy nine tastes and three drinks at seven small businesses in Lisbon (enough food for a full meal), learn how Lisbon’s story can’t be told without its food, and gain invaluable knowledge for eating like a local on your own.
