Along the way, you’ll try classic petiscos, savour seafood favourites, and sample iconic bites like the bifana, all paired with drinks such as Vinho Verde, local beer, and Ginjinha.

Itinerary
Meet your hosts in front of the Supremo Tribunal de Justiça. They will be holding a yellow "Carpe Diem Tours" sign.
Follow your expert guide through Baixa to a cosy tavern renowned for its flavour-packed Portuguese petiscos. Here, you’ll dig into classics like freshly grilled chouriço and bacalhau à Brás, served with a perfectly paired local wine.
Next, we’ll visit a traditional Portuguese seafood restaurant for grilled sardines and comforting seafood rice. And the best part? You’ll enjoy it all with a refreshing glass of iconic Vinho Verde.
After a sit-down meal, dive into Portuguese street food with the legendary bifana, a tender steak sandwich simmered in garlic and wine. Don’t forget to save room for a crispy coxinha or croqueta, perfectly paired with an ice-cold beer.
We’ll visit a historic liquor shop, established in 1890, to sample Portugal’s beloved Ginjinha, a rich sour cherry liqueur that perfectly primes your palate for the final sweet treat.
No food tour is complete without dessert, finish off with Portugal’s iconic pastel de nata, a flaky, golden custard tart that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

Great night, very informative and lots and lots of food!
Fantastic food with an amazing guide. Rui was funny, charming, and knowledgeable about the history of both the food and the city.
Rui is a fantastic food tour guide! He knows the local food scene incredibly well and has a great sense of where to go for the best and most authentic experiences. I especially appreciated his insights into the different dishes, ingredients, and local traditions. He didn’t just show us places to eat — he helped us understand the food and culture behind them. Everything we tried was delicious, and Rui’s recommendations were spot-on. A wonderful experience and highly recommended!
Had an amazing time with our host Rui! He brought a great energy to the tour. The only issue is if you are a vegetarian this is not a tour for you. I saw on the listing that vegetarian options would be available but I didn’t have a single option the entire tour except for the pastel de nata. Overall was a fun experience, but wish it was more accommodating to different diets.
The variety of venues & food was excellent. I tried dishes that I probably never would have ordered at a restaurant.
Our guide Rui was excellent, extremely knowledgeable about everything Portuguese. We tried lots of delicious food and drinks and learnt so much about how they were made and why they are important to Lisbon. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Maya was great. Energy very high and very acknowledgeable also. I would definitely book with her again for another event.
Such a fun way to try Portuguese food! Mya was so friendly and so informative, she's so personable and has a great sense of humour! The food is pretty varied, so perhaps you may not like one meal, but it's likely you'll enjoy the other! This was my mum's birthday present and she really enjoyed walking through the beautiful city at midnight trying different foods and meeting new people. I definitely recommend if you are an inquisitive foodie!
Sofia was the absolute BEST! She is extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The food was also incredible and we left so stuffed. Definitely worth it and I highly recommend!
Paula was a great guide and the happiest person ever. She gave some great history information as well as explained everything we were eating and drinking. Highly recommend.
