Lisbon, Portugal

5 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

In Lisbon’s historic neighborhoods of Mouraria, Graça and Santa Clara, old traditions mingle with new restaurants, immigrant communities and a rapidly changing city. On this afternoon food tour, we’ll explore these neighborhoods bite by bite, with a special focus on the local tascas that remain essential to everyday Lisbon life.

We’ll begin with daily specials at a decades-old tasca before heading uphill to a modern taberna reimagining Portugal’s fish and seafood traditions. Along the way, we may taste fresh clams, the classic prego steak sandwich, house-made piripiri and garum, a fish-based condiment with roots dating back to Roman times.

We’ll also pause at a former 16th-century monastery for something sweet, enjoy a tasting of local wines and finish at a historic palace with chilled muscatel and sunset views toward São Jorge Castle.

On Tuesdays and Saturdays, the tour also includes Lisbon’s lively Feira da Ladra flea market.
