You might have heard of the “Seven Wonders of the World”, but did you know this phrase also applies to food? Try three of the seven wonders of Portuguese cuisine on our Lisbon Food Tour, an award-winning experience through the neoclassical Baixa neighbourhood. With everything pre-arranged, you’ll skip the crowds; no queues, no guesswork, just authentic Portuguese flavours, served stress-free.


A local guide will take you and a group of fellow foodies on a comprehensive gastronomic tour of the only flat neighbourhood in the city, featuring the best of "new Lisbon" after the devastating earthquake of 1755.


Our route starts from the river Tagus and takes us through magnificent squares like Praca do Comercio, making our way toward the heart of Baixa. This is where we'll discover the history of the Portuguese Empire and Inquisition, and see sought-after sites like Igreja do Santo Domingo and the Elevador de Santa Justa.


Along the way, we'll stop at local, family-owned eateries to try traditional petiscos and drinks. Tantalise your taste buds with Portuguese classics like codfish, chouriço, and seafood rice, before indulging in the city's street food featuring bifana, a sandwich stuffed with simmering meat, and a salgado, battered and fried. Then, wash it all down with perfectly paired drinks like green wine, local beer, and Ginjinha, a traditional cherry liqueur.


And of course, no Lisbon Food and Wine Tour would be complete without a sweet treat. To end your tour, you’ll satisfy your sweet tooth with a classic Portuguese dessert before continuing the night with your newfound friends.

Meet Your Guide

Your hosts will be holding a yellow "Carpe Diem Tours" sign in front of Supremo Tribunal de Justiça

Peti-sco-many choices

Follow your expert guide through Baixa to a cosy local tavern that specialises in "petiscos", Portuguese small plates that pack big flavours. There are so many to choose from, but here we'll give you some of our favourites: chouriço, grilled to order, and bacalhau à bras paired with local wine.

Raising the brine

Next, we'll stop at a traditional Portuguese seafood restaurant for grilled sardines and seafood rice. The best part? You'll wash it all down with a glass of the iconic Vinho Verde.

Stuffed with fun

After getting a proper sit-down experience, it's time to mix it up with some authentic Portuguese street food. Here you'll get to try the king of comfort food: bifana. This sandwich is stuffed with steak, or loin, then sliced and simmered to perfection with garlic and wine. Hearty and filling, you'll have to save some space for a deep-fried coxinha or croqueta, crisped to perfection and best served with an ice-cold beer.

The cherry on top

We'll take a pit stop at a liquor shop that has been a staple of the community since 1890. Here we'll try Portugal's best-loved liqueur: Ginjinha! Made with ginja berries, its sour cherry flavour is set to please your palate and prep it for a final sweet treat.

Straight to the tart

No food tour is complete without dessert, so you'll try the classic that has become Portugal's claim to fame, pastel de nata, a flaky and crumbly custard unlike any other.
