My wife, Rebecca, and I spent the afternoon and evening of our 34th wedding anniversary exploring Lisbon with Joana and our dear friends, Mark and Anne. We could not have chosen a more perfect way to celebrate. Joana is insightful, knowledgeable, kind, and wonderfully personable. She brought Lisbon’s history, culture, and food to life, weaving stories into our walk in a way that made us feel connected to the city. The food was delicious, the conversation came easily, and the hours flew by. What made the experience exceptional was Joana herself. There is something special about spending time with someone who makes you feel so welcome and comfortable. Walking with her felt like having a friend introduce us to a city she loves. Her warmth and enthusiasm made an already special occasion even more memorable. We recommend this Eating Europe tour wholeheartedly, and we would absolutely ask for Joana. Thank you, Joana, for an anniversary we will always remember with a smile!

Reviews
This was a super experience. We visited a part of the city which we might have missed and went to some really nice places which served excellent food and interesting wines - served in a combination of food, pairing and wine tasting. Our guide, Leonor, was highly knowledgeable, super friendly and charming. My only complaint about her would be that her English was better than mine!😉 We would absolutely recommend this and if you choose it, you would do well to request Leonor.
A super evening - we were a group of two couples. Plenty of food served in a series of restaurants and wine bars, all really good quality. Wine pairings and tastings throughout. A great way to take a walk through interesting parts of the city. Our guide, Leonor was knowledgeable, engaging and charming. The only annoying thing was that her command of English was better than mine!! I would definitely recommend the experience and ask for "Leo" if she's available...
Leonora was super informative. We had top level food at places I did not expect - the food tour was so much better than expected. Felt like we looked into a Portuguese window. Thank you Leo super grateful 🙏🏼
This tour was a fun and informative, truly VIP experience. The stops were varied and upscale, the dishes were tasty and inventive, and the guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I have done other food tours and eaten many places in Lisbon, but this gave me a unique experience. I appreciated the theme of Portuguese classics made new. Leonor was a delight, and I look forward trying her other recommendations.
My wife and I had a wonderful guided walk with Leonor, who was extremely knowledgeable, personable and fun! Highlight of our visit to Lisbon!
Absolutely fabulous excursion. Amanda was amazing!!!
Had the loveliest night with Amanda tasting all the very generous portions of food and wine. This was a great way to taste the modern twist on Portuguese cuisine.
Amazing! Amanda was amazing! Intelligent and intuitive. Plus went above and beyond when we asked for more information afterwards.
Amanda was amazing and so much fun! We enjoyed her knowledge and the stops and tastings were so impressive! Especially enjoyed meeting Euclides and the experience of his wine knowledge. We definitely encourage everyone to try this wine and food tour!
An absolute highlight of our trip – thanks to Amanda! We had a fantastic experience on our Eating Europe tour, and Amanda was the absolute star of the show. She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, not only about the food but also about the local wines! She guided us through some fantastic wine pairings, explaining the history and characteristics behind each glass with so much enthusiasm. Every single stop was delicious, but the combination of authentic dishes, great wine, and Amanda's warmth made this tour truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!
The tour was a wonderful exploration of creative Portuguese food and wine. The guide, Leonor, was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. We would really recommend this tour
Carlos was fantastic tour guide. We learnt about some great authentic places & fabulous hole in the wall bars that you wouldn’t know about. A great experience. Highly recommended
Excellent food and amazing wines. Carlos was great and ensured we experienced the best of Lisbon. Thank you
Carlos was amazing!!! Highly highly recommend
Exploring the food and wine scene in Lisbon with our fabulous guide Amanda was an absolute highlight of our trip. We visited a variety of fun and creative restaurants, each serving outstanding food and wine. Every stop offered something unique, delicious, and beautifully presented. Amanda made the experience even more enjoyable with her knowledge, energy, and warm personality. What a fun experience — highly recommend this tour!
Amanda was attentive and knowledgeable, she made sure that we all had a great time tasting all of the dishes and wine on offer. She was the perfect host!
Our tour with Carlos was absolutely, totally fantastic! We went to the following places: A. Pão de Canela (Cod Ceviche, Bifana, Sparkling Wine from Bairrada Region). B. O Jardim (Peixinhos da Horta, Red Wine from Alentejo). C. Uva Livre Red Wine (Cheese, Olives, Porco Preto Ham) D. A Obra (Orange Wine, Octopus rice, Bolo de Bolacha & Moscatel) Each one was superb. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the Orange Wine and the Octopus Rice (which I think is risotto). But really, there were all top notch. In addition, the restaurants were all in a fun, not touristy part of Lisbon which you probably wouldn't think to visit if you are here for only a few days. As for Carlos, he was just wonderful. He's very smart, very knowledgeable, and his love for both the food and Lisbon shone through everything. Maybe the only problem with this review is that I'm running out of superlatives, so I'll finish with this: we've taken a number of food tours over the years. This was by far the best. So thank you Carlos and Eating Europe!
Great experience and an amazing tour guide, Amanda was great
We were treated to stops at three local restaurants and one wine bar. Our guide Amanda explained not only the excellent wines we were served, but also explained the various Portugal wine regions using a map. Each stop included one or two hearty and delicious snacks. The wine and snacks were upscale and unique. DELICIOUS very enjoyable! Thank you Amanda!
An absolutely fantastic experience! Our guide Amanda was brilliant — full of energy, great stories, and genuinely passionate about what she does. The vibe was amazing, the food was delicious, and the wines were excellent. Highly recommend. Five stars!
this was a fantastic gastronomical tour and our guide, Amanda, was like a personal friend. We would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a top level experience.
VIP Progressive in Lisbon with Amanda was a different experience for us. We had done Eating Europe in Rome and Amsterdam and decided to try the progressive dinner tour and were happily surprised with the food. Walking through the hilly Lisbon neighborhoods is what we enjoy in visiting cities and sampling local fare is a great way to learn world culture. We really enjoyed the octopus rice. Thanks Amanda for sharing Lisbon with us.
Gabi was great very very knowledgeable and entertaining Educated all of us with regard to the history of Portugal
Thank you to Leo for a lovely dining experience- wonderful options of wine and a modern delightful twist on sometimes otherwise heavy Portuguese food - paired with convivial conversation and a local’s perspective on the neighbourhood. Also grateful for her list of suggestions- a great way to begin our days in Lisbon
This was a wonderful meal. Carlos and Joao were great for introducing us to many great foods in Lisbon. Take this tour, it’s fantastic!!
We had a great time with Camila and Leonor. We loved the pace of the evening with only four stops and a bit more time to enjoy each and chat with our hosts at a relaxed pace.
We had an amazing time with Camilla! The food was excellent, the wine was fabulous, and Camilla provided so much information about Lisbon and Portugal. My only regret is that we didn’t do this tour on our first night in Lisbon. Highly recommend the VIP Lisbon Progressive Dinner Tour!
This is a terrific evening out… featuring an excellent selection of restaurants, food and paired wines. Amanda, our hostess, was amazing… her depth of knowledge and engaging personality have helped to make this evening one of the highlights of our visit to Lisbon. Enjoy!
Amanda, our tour guide was a bright and charming guide. She was very knowledgeable about wine, food and the neighbourhood we walked through. We consider it a highlight of our visit to Lisbon.
Amazing experience! Amanda and Leonor were so nice and gave really good insights on Portuguese’s wine, food, culture and history. It was really interesting and - as newly Lisbon residents - we discovered great places where we’ll definitely come back again with friends. Amanda’s taste for good wine, deep culinary knowledge (taste wise and in history) and friendly attitude definitely brings great added value to this tour. I highly recommend this tour for both tourist and residents!
Very comprehensive food tour with multiple stops. Carlos was our tour guide and provided a great overview of Portuguese history and food culture.
Camilla was knowledgeable, bubbly, and totally entertaining this evening. This was one of the best food tours we’ve ever experienced. The wine was outstanding and the food in the various restaurants was amazing. We felt welcomed in each venue. The evening was totally enjoyable!
My friend and I had a fantastic time on this tour, a highlight of our long weekend in Lisbon. Camila took us to four terrific places, each fabulous in its own way. We never would have found them on our own. The food and wine were both delicious. We enjoyed hearing about life in Lisbon from Camila and connecting with fellow travelers. Definitely recommend!
This was a lovely way to experience food and wine in Lisbon. Amanda, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and personable. It was like hanging out with an old friend who also was able to provide a unique lens into Portuguese history and culture. Would highly recommend.
We had a great time exploring the food and wine with our guide Amanda! There was a good variety of food and wine, and each stop was different. Would definitely recommend!
This was an outstanding food tour provided by Eating Europe. It took us off the beaten path and to restaurants far outside the tourist areas. This is definitely something you want to try if you want to be adventurous. Carlos was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable about the restaurants we visited and the food we would be trying. The samples were great. A very decent taste for sure. I read some food tour reviews that said what they got amounted to a single bite or drop of wine. This was not the case for this tour. What was also nice was it was quite small. There were only seven of us and I think the maximum they take is eight. So it was a fantastic size. We also were fortunate to have had a great group of people in our group. We were definitely friends at the end and even made plans with one of the group to meet for a meal a few days later. Do not hesitate to book this food tour. It was well worth it and if you’re fortunate to have Carlos as your guide it’ll be that much better.
Our experience with Eating Europe went beyond our expectations. Amanda shared interesting information about not only the food and wine, but the history behind them, which really added to the tour. I highly recommend one of Eating Europe's tours. (Especially as a first day activity to get the lay of the land.)
Interesting experience in a local neighborhood. Food, drinks , and restaurants were all great. Our guide Carlos was extremely knowledgeable about the local sights and historical info. He was very friendly and made the tour more fun. Live like a local for a bit. Our group was vegetarian and all the restaurants accommodated our diets. Wear comfy shoes , parts were a little hilly.
Excellent tour. Great selection of restaurants and conversation! This would be a great tour to take with a family or a small group. Your experience restaurants and bars that are not tourist traps. experience One of the highlights is you spend time with the locals and meet the owners of the restaurants. Carlos was an excellent guide and made this an exceptional experience.
Carlos was absolutely fantastic! We discovered so many places we never would have otherwise known about or tried. From start to finish it was 10 out of 10. Highly recommend!
The guide Carlos was so great! He put great effort into planning this tour route and the results are definitely worth it. This was definitely the best food and wine I’ve had in Lisbon. Definitely book this tour!
Carlos was hospitable, friendly, polite, informative and fun. The stops were charming and unique. The food and wine was a delicious way to learn about the city and neighborhoods.
Carlos & this tour were the highlight of our trip to Lisbon! We learned about the history of each area, we laughed at the great jokes and constant humor, & loved the sensational, delicious wines & food!!! If you want a fabulous food and wine tasting experience, you must book this tour!!!
Carlos was a fantastic host. He took us to all the best spots in Lisbon (off the beaten path) and the food and drinks were phenomenal. Highly recommend this tour during your stay!
Fabulous food and wine. Wonderful time! Carlos and Iara were the best guides ever. A definite must do!!!!!!🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
Amazing tour! Don’t miss it. Carlos was a delight and the food and wine were can’t miss. Very relaxing and enjoyable experience and felt like we were part of the neighborhood.
Best time ever. The food was amazing and the people were amazing — Carlos was the best! Would recommend 10/10. One of my favorite (if not my favorite) experience in Lisbon.
The tour was wonderful! Carlos was extremely kind and polite, and provided excellent explanations about Portugal's history and food. We visited five restaurants, and at every stop, the food and wine were absolutely delicious. My favorites were the cod ceviche, the octopus rice, and the Portuguese verde and rosé wines. Highly recommended, 10/10!
Krisztina is a delightful host. She led us around a neighborhood that is not a tourist attraction but still close to our hotel, stopping at five places to sample Portuguese food and wine. All were delicious.
