Eat and Bake Porto Savory Tour and Pastry Workshop

About this activity

Eat like a true local on a private culinary adventure designed around your tastes. This experience combines an unhurried 2.5-hour Porto Savory Bites with a hands-on pastry workshop inside a local art studio.

Your journey begins downtown, grazing through authentic spots for iconic local flavors—from crispy patties on Rua de Santa Catarina to regional cheeses, wine, and a shot of Ginjinha at Mercado do Bolhão.

The ultimate highlight awaits at the workshop! For 1.5 hours, you will step into the shoes of a traditional pastry chef, learning the insider secrets to rolling, filling, and baking the ultimate Portuguese treat: the Pastel de Nata. Enjoy your warm creations fresh out of the oven alongside local drinks!

While exploring the vibrant local stalls, we will pause for a premium culinary break, enjoying a curated selection of regional Portuguese cheeses paired beautifully with a glass of fine local wine. To top off your market experience, we will treat your sweet tooth to a traditional shot of sweet Portuguese Ginjinha liqueur served in a chocolate cup.

  3. Sao Bento Railway Station

    45 min

    You make your way down to Porto's world-famous tile train station. Surrounded by the magnificent historic azulejos, we will wrap up your savory journey with a classic local bite to fuel us up before your hands-on workshop.
