Please meet us next to the fountain at the viewpoint. Your guide will be waiting for you and wearing our purple Eating Europe bag!
Baixa is Lisbon’s elegant center, its wide avenues and sunlit praças lined with tiled facades, historic cafés, and seafood restaurants where grilled fish arrives with nothing more than olive oil and lemon. From a morning bica at a marble counter to sardines on a sidewalk table, Baixa delivers the simple, timeless pleasures that make Lisbon unforgettable.
Bairro Alto comes alive after dark. By day its graffiti-lined streets are quiet, but as evening falls the neighborhood transforms — tiny bars spill onto the cobblestones, petiscos are shared standing up, and glasses of ginjinha pass between strangers. The food matches the mood: unpretentious, social, and best enjoyed late, whether it’s presunto at a crowded counter or a bowl of caldo verde at the end of a long night.
Chiado bridges the two worlds beautifully. This literary quarter of bookshops, theatres, and art nouveau cafés has long drawn writers and artists. Its food scene is equally refined but never stiff — modern Portuguese tasting menus alongside century-old pastry houses, wine bars pouring small-producer bottles, and dining rooms where tradition meets quiet creativity.

Our Lisbon food tours are led by people who know this city through its kitchens, its tascas, and its neighborhood markets. Pastry lovers who can debate the perfect pastel de nata for hours, wine enthusiasts who champion small Portuguese producers, and storytellers who share Lisbon with the kind of easy warmth that makes every visitor feel like a local. They take you into the neighborhoods where Lisboetas actually eat — because that's where the real city lives.
Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Lisbon and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.
Lisbon’s culinary scene is a mouthwatering blend of traditional Portuguese flavors and coastal influences. You can’t leave without trying bacalhau à brás (salt cod with eggs and potatoes), sardinhas assadas (grilled sardines, especially during summer festivals), and amêijoas à Bulhão Pato (clams in a garlicky, lemony sauce). Don’t miss bifana (a marinated pork sandwich) or a comforting bowl of caldo verde (a classic kale and potato soup). And of course, your visit wouldn’t be complete without indulging in the iconic pastel de nata, Lisbon’s world-famous custard tart.
All food and drinks, as well as your professional local guide are included in the price you pay for the tour. No hidden charges or upsells here.

There is no dress code on our tours, however it’s recommended to wear a good pair of shoes (these are walking tours, after all!) and be prepared for the elements, even though most of our stops are indoors.
Yes, absolutely. There’s a Portuguese word, convívio, which captures a feeling of friendly, convivial socialising. That’s the feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Lisbon.
You’ll find that spirit of convívio from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the small, family-run tascas in Alfama, help keep the Fado houses quiet during a performance, and learn the simple rhythm of hopping on and off the trams. This is the authentic Lisbon experience.
It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.
Our guides are all fluent in English, and of course speak Portguese as well. For requests for tours in other languages, please contact us.
Yes! You are welcome to take photos and videos of the food and scenery throughout your tour. If you would explicitly like to get photos of fellow guests or your guide, we kindly ask that you get their permission first.

No. While some tours may have one or two stops which other groups visit (can’t help it if they’re popular!), Eating Europe are proud that the majority of stops on every Lisbon tour are restaurants and vendors who work exclusively with us.
We do! Please see the “Book a Private Tour” option or contact us, and we can arrange a private or custom Lisbon tour to suit your specific needs.
