We love Lisbon, its food culture, and its lifestyle. We believe food can lead us far beyond gastronomy: Food fosters social interaction and can take us into deep, thrilling explorations and discoveries about the culture and history of a place. That’s what Taste of Lisboa Food Tours plans to facilitate to you, dear traveller!
Besides tasting Lisbon’s gastronomy and learning how to cook local dishes, at Taste of Lisboa Food Tours, we designed our offerings to let you learn about the history, culture, architecture, and the local neighbourhoods’ local entertainment and restaurant offerings.
Our aim is for everyone to return to these neighbourhoods with the confidence of a local and prepared to take advantage of the wide range of food and cultural options they have to offer.

Tourism Destination Mgmt Expert and Food Lover
I’m a foodie born and raised in Lisbon. I love Lisbon, our food culture and lifestyle. I’m always looking for and trying those hidden places out of the spotlight, where neighbours get together, stay at the counter chatting and listen to the life stories of the very local owners and regular customers. I deeply believe food can lead us far beyond gastronomy: food fosters social interaction and can take us into thrilling explorations and discoveries about a place’s people, culture and history. If you are a foodie traveler like me, I promise I’ll take you there.
My Passion – Traveling, meeting new people and living all I can about their culture and food by their hand.
My ‘Go to’ place – Campo de Ourique Market, especially to hang out over a just prepared Portuguese tidbit and a good glass of wine at happy-hour.
My favorite food – Cheeeeeese.
My inside tip for you – Monte Agudo Belvedere: enjoy the view away from the crowds, while having your drink among the locals.

Hospitality Mgmt Expert and Photographer
I was born and raised in Lisbon, and I’ve been living here for almost all my life. Food is in my DNA by the influence of my foodie family: food is in the core of our affections and our table, every day. For a while, I lived in Marseille, Brussels, and Faro. These adventures for study and work abroad have led to an even bigger love for travel, knowing new people and discover new cultures, especially through their food.
My Passion – Travel, photography, and food!
My ‘Go to’ place – Sesimbra: going to this village since I was born, for weekends and holidays, it equals to sun, beach and the best fresh fish in the world, always among friends and family.
My favorite food – Fish: a very fresh grilled red mullets or sardines near the coast are among my favorites. Also, cheese and wine is always a to-go option.
My inside tip for you – Casa do Alentejo: a beautiful Palace in the center of Lisbon where you are also able to taste traditional food from Alentejo region.

My favorite food – More than a favorite food (as a Portuguese it is really hard to narrow it down to just one!) I have a favorite way of eating- petiscar! There’s nothing like going to eat some petiscos (tidbits) after a beach day while watching the sunset.
My favorite drink – A glass of good red wine.
My Favorite place in Lisbon – The labyrinthic streets and alleyways of the old quarters.
My inside tip for Lisbon visitors – Go to the old neighborhoods, put your map aside and just stroll around without a particular destination while being enchanted by all the details and the surprise of what you find along the way.
