About this activity

Lisbon may look unmistakably Old World, but beneath its nostalgic storefronts and historic churches lies a deeply cosmopolitan city shaped by centuries of global trade and migration. On this food tour, we’ll explore that complex identity through the flavors and stories of the Lisboetas.

Starting near the Estrela Basilica, we’ll trace Lisbon’s connections to the spice trade before heading to Campo de Ourique, a neighborhood with the feel of a village within the city. We’ll sip traditional ginjinha and explore one of Lisbon’s finest markets, where longtime fishmongers, butchers and bakers work alongside newer vendors.

Along the way, we’ll taste seasonal Portuguese dishes, bacalhau, cheeses and wines, visit a family-run restaurant and a private club serving vindalho, an ancestor of Goan vindaloo. We’ll also sample savory pastries before finishing, naturally, with one of Lisbon’s best pastéis de nata.
