Itinerary
You’ll meet your guide and a group of fellow foodies in the Supremo Tribunal de Justiça. We’ll be holding a yellow "Carpe Diem Tours" sign.
Wander through Baixa with your expert guide to a cosy tavern celebrated for its delicious Portuguese petiscos. Here, you’ll enjoy classics like freshly grilled chouriço and bacalhau à Brás, perfectly paired with a local wine.
Next, we’ll head to a traditional Portuguese seafood restaurant to savour grilled sardines and hearty seafood rice. The highlight? Pairing it all with a crisp, refreshing glass of the iconic Vinho Verde.
After a sit-down meal, dive into Portuguese street food with the iconic bifana, a steak sandwich simmered in garlic and wine. But that’s not all! Don’t forget to save room for a crispy coxinha or croqueta, perfectly paired with an ice-cold beer.
We’ll visit a historic liquor shop, established in 1890, to sample Portugal’s beloved Ginjinha, a rich, sour cherry liqueur that perfectly primes your palate for the final sweet treat.
No food tour is complete without dessert so we’ll end on a high note with Portugal’s iconic pastel de nata, a golden, flaky custard tart that’ll leave you dreaming of Lisbon long after you’ve left.

Excellent tour guide Maya. She is very knowledgeable with history and fantastic guide for the group. By the bed of the 3 plus hours we spent, we felt like we learned so much about Portugal traditions and a family sharing good meals together. I highly recommend joining this quick 3 hours food tour. Worth the price and time especially for those visiting Lisbon for the first time

Awesome food tour with five different stops focused on classic Portuguese dishes and history! Our guide Rui was excellent, learned everyone’s names and their preferences, had plenty to say about the methods and cooking styles, and was overall a fantastic three hours!!

We had a wonderful evening with our group and Jose our guide. Fantastic food,and drink. Great way to have a taste of some of some of the favorite dishes and drinks enjoyed by the locals. Thank you so much 😊
Just a great afternoon. Very educational and very entertaining. Got to understand in-depth food and culture of Lisbon and Zé was great fun. Really worthwhile couple of hours and something that we will remember.
This was really a great experience to see Porto and have some really delicious food. I’d recommend this tour.
Zé was a phenomenal guide. The food was amazing and we covered a lot of ground on variety of food. Definitely recommend.
Beatriz had great historical information and the food stops were great! It gave us a good sense of the area too.
Amazing! Ze was great! Really loved the sardines and the pastel nata! A great opportunity to meet people in a small group
Ze was excellent , food choices were on point
Rui was amazing, knowledgeable and made the tour really enjoyable
Our guide was excellent, informative and full of fun. The food and wine at the start were excellent. Though I think the pork buns at the end were too much, haha. Fantastic group of people, thank you so much for your company.
First, the tour stated a max of 15 participants. When we arrived there were 25 people. The person checking us in said there would be two groups. We asked how many per group and were told 15 max. Our group had 17, while the other had 8. Several people asked about dividing the group, but we were told that the restaurants were expecting specific numbers. After arriving at the first stop (set up for 15), a couple already sitting in the restaurant were moved so the extra two from our group could be accommodated. The first stop was very uncomfortable and the 1 waiter was very put out by our group. Our guide walked and talked very fast. Upon arrival at the second stop, 2 people from our group had been transfered to the other group--why couldn't this have been done from the beginning??? The food was good at all stops, except for the stop before dessert. We were suppose to have a pork sandwich and some fried cod. The restaurant was out of the cod--no replacement, and the pork sandwich was very dry. I have been on several food tours--this was not my first, but it will be my last with Carpe Diem.
Beatrice is amazing! It was a wonderful time. Would highly recommend, the food was great and it was nice to get some history with the tour too
Great food with very good tour guide "Ruy" in the most beautiful day at Lisbon. We learned a lot of Portugal local food from Seafood to Sausage with matching drink
We had a great time with Ze. Ate and drank lots of yummy food while learning a lot about the lovely Portugese culture. We would highly recommend this tour.
A great introduction to Portuguese food with a great history lesson thrown in. Beatriz was a fabulous guide.
Fun fun fun! A wonderful way to sample the traditional cuisine of Portugal, the wine as well as the history! Beatriz our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining and fun!
It was good fun becuase of the group we were with. Definitely book for the extra alcohol!
The tour was well spaced out, we ate a variety of foods (seafood, meat, wine, beer, dessert). Our tour guide Margarita told us about the history as we walked through Baixa. I really enjoyed it.
