Two thumbs up for Heat of Lisbon Food Tour I thoroughly enjoyed the Heart of Lisbon Food Tour (Baxia, Chaido, and Bairro Alto) that I took with Fred this May (2025). First, tour was an interesting and helpful introduction to these historic quarters in Lisbon. I learned a lot about the history of the city as well as both past and present aspects of living in Lisbon. Second, we tasted a variety of local foods that were very tasting. I particularly liked the "green" soup (collard greens and potatoes) and the grilled sardines which went down real with a glass of beer. Fred is a knowledgeable and kind guide. Not only did he share good stories about living in Lisbon (and Portugal), he is patient and kind--I appreciated a guide back to the metro station! I very much recommend this tour and Fred as a guide. Obrigada and thanks again Fred!

Kriszti
Hungarian native who fell in love with Portugal in 2006 and made it her home.
My favourite Portuguese dish would have to be grilled sea bass with an ocean view and a nice green wine.
If you are a coffee drinker always order a regular “café” and not a milky version to really appreciate this underrated delicacy!
Gabriel
Brazilian living in Lisbon for 6 years who fell in love with the city after a trip and never left.
My favorite dish is Polvo a lagareiro!
When in Lisbon, don't miss Graça with its viewpoints and terraces and a sunset boat trip on the Tejo River
Fred
Born and raised in Lisbon, a true "Alfacinha"
My favorite Portuguese dish is a Bitoque: steak with a fried egg served on top with a side of french fries and rice
When in Lisbon, explore Alfama, Belém and Sintra as well as indulging in our lovely food
Sara
Originally from Porto, living in Lisbon since 2016.
Favorite dish will have to be a good Duck Rice (Arroz de Pato)
Although Lisbon is beautiful inside and out always look for the open doors in the buildings, you might find some of the most amazing undiscovered monuments.
Catarina
Born in "a garden planted by the sea" also known as Portugal.
What I love about Portuguese cuisine is the freshness of the ingredients which change every season. My favorite summer food is grilled sardines with salad.
The best way to learn about a country is through its people. Go to a farmers market, talk to strangers and experience the variety of local vegetables and fruits.
Camila
Born in Brazil and living in Portugal since 2001
My favorite food is grilled octopus!
Walk and eat as much as possible in Portugal. There's always some story behind each building and dish!
David
Born and raised in Vila franca de Xira, a true "Ribatejano", at your service
My favourite dish is undoubtedly açorda de bacalhau à alentejana, which is basically cod soup with bread.
Warning: the bifana is addictive. You start with one... and before you know it, you're on your third with a cold beer in your hand
