(2 reviews)
Porto, Portugal

4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 2 more

Skip the tourist menus. This is how Porto actually eats. Join a small group (max 6–8) and explore traditional tascos (local taverns), where recipes, prices, and habits are still shaped by the people who live here not by trends.

Most food tours focus on what visitors expect but we focus on what’s actually here. That means places that existed before tourism, food people still eat in their daily lives and honest conversations about what’s changing in the city. No performances and no staged “authenticity.” Just the city as it is.
