Explore Lisbon’s historic neighborhoods of Mouraria, Graça, and Santa Clara on a guided food tour. Discover the vibrant local culture and taste the flavors of the city’s traditional and modern cuisine.
Begin with the daily specials at a decades-old tasca, a quintessential Lisbon experience, in the heart of an area that’s home to a bustling twice-weekly flea market. Up the hill from there, visit a new school taberna where the chef/owner applies innovative techniques to the fish and seafood traditions of Portugal.
As you continue your walk, get a taste of (when in season) spanking fresh clams at a Portuguese-style beer hall and the famous prego steak sandwich at a workingman’s lunch counter. Along the way, sample house-made piripiri, a hot sauce that made its way to Lisbon from West Africa; garum, a fish-based condiment that has been produced in Portugal since Roman times, and several other saucy bites.
Stop by a 16th-century former monastery, now a museum, for a relaxing bite of something sweet in the cloister, while at a nearby wine bar, sit down for a tasting of some fine local vintages. Finish up at a historic palace, today home to a local neighborhood association, where you will have a sip of chilled muscatel while enjoying something that thankfully remains unchanged – the timeless view of the sun setting behind the São Jorge castle on the hill.
