Lisbon: Award-Winning Guided Walking Food Tour with Local Drinks
Description
Experience authentic Portuguese cuisine on our award-winning Lisbon Food Tour through the Baixa District, the city’s only flat neighbourhood, and one of the tastiest. With everything arranged in advance, you’ll skip the lines and dive straight into traditional tastes as your expert local guide leads you from the Tagus River through grand squares and past landmarks like Igreja de São Domingos, sharing the story of the “new Lisbon” rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake. We'll take you to cosy taverns, family-run restaurants, and bustling street-food spots. Along the way, you’ll enjoy classic petiscos, fresh seafood dishes, and iconic bites like the bifana, all paired with drinks such as Vinho Verde, local beer, and Ginjinha. And no food tour is complete without a sweet finale, so you’ll try a traditional Portuguese dessert to round off your culinary adventure before heading into the night with fellow food lovers. Eat like a local and experience Lisbon one bite at a time.

Itinerary
You’ll meet your guide and a group of fellow foodies in the Supremo Tribunal de Justiça. We’ll be holding a yellow "Carpe Diem Tours" sign.
Wander through Baixa with your expert guide to a cosy tavern celebrated for its delicious Portuguese petiscos. Here, you’ll enjoy classics like freshly grilled chouriço and bacalhau à Brás, perfectly paired with a local wine.
Next, we’ll head to a traditional Portuguese seafood restaurant to savour grilled sardines and hearty seafood rice. The highlight? Pairing it all with a crisp, refreshing glass of the iconic Vinho Verde.
After a sit-down meal, dive into Portuguese street food with the iconic bifana, a steak sandwich simmered in garlic and wine. But that’s not all! 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 so we’ll end on a high note with Portugal’s iconic pastel de nata, a golden, flaky custard tart that’ll leave you dreaming of Lisbon long after you’ve left.

It was very good, it explains very well every tourist spot we stopped. I recommend you take a tour of Portugal with him!!! It was amazing and fun we laughed a lot with him!!!
Rui was such a great and friendly tour guide! Not only did we learn about the classic portuguese dishes, but he also offered some great history about Lisbon for our group. The food and drinks were great and very accommodating if you have dietary restrictions. Such a great value and would recommend to everyone!
Beatriz is an absolutely phenomenal guide! She brought the most incredible energy, and created a comfortable, fun, and engaging environment. Her positive attitude and knowledge of the area was fantastic. I would recommend a tour with her to anyone! Easily the best tour guide my friends and I have experienced! She exceeds a 5 star review. We loved it, had the best time and loved our time and experience with Beatriz!!! Thank you Beatriz! Highly recommend.
Rui is a incredibly charismatic guide who is incredibly proud and knowledgeable about the city of Lisbon. From the beginning he worked hard to break the ice and make sure all the guests felt at ease with him and each other. The food and drink were a whistle stop tour of the best of Lisbon's cuisine and are well worth the price of admission. If I come back to Lisbon with friends I will certainly be bringing them onto this tour.
Rui was great! Very friendly and knowledgeable! Great food and wines and 1 beer! And 1 amazing dessert!
