Your hosts will be holding a yellow "Carpe Diem Tours" sign in front of Supremo Tribunal de Justiça
Follow your expert guide through Baixa to a cosy tavern specialising in flavour-packed Portuguese petiscos. Here, you’ll try favourites like freshly grilled chouriço and bacalhau à Brás, perfectly paired with local wine.
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.
After a sit-down meal, dive into Portuguese street food with the iconic bifana, a garlic- and wine-simmered steak sandwich. Save room for a crispy coxinha or croqueta, best enjoyed with an ice-cold beer.
We’ll stop at a historic liquor shop dating back to 1890 to try Portugal’s beloved Ginjinha, a sour cherry liqueur that perfectly preps your palate for the final sweet treat.
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.
