Lisbon Food Tours
Lisbon is one of Europe’s great food cities: pastéis de nata warm from the oven, grilled sardines and bacalhau, the buzzing Time Out Market, tinned-fish bars, and the tascas of Alfama where Fado drifts out with the smell of charcoal. This is our Lisbon food-tour hub. Compare the top-rated food tours below, then our cooking, wine and Fado pages.

Eating through the hills
Lisbon’s food is soulful and salt-kissed. Begin with the obvious and essential: a pastel de nata, the caramelised custard tart, warm and dusted with cinnamon (the original from Belém has a legendary secret recipe). Then work through the savoury canon – bacalhau (salt cod, “365 ways”), charcoal-grilled sardines, the pork bifana sandwich, and small plates (petiscos), Portugal’s answer to tapas. The Time Out Market gathers many of the city’s best cooks under one roof, while the old lanes of Alfama and Mouraria hide family tascas.
Drinks and the Fado connection
Drink a cherry ginjinha from a hole-in-the-wall, a crisp vinho verde, or a glass from the Lisbon wine regions on a tasting. And no Lisbon food night is complete without Fado – the mournful song of the city – over dinner in Alfama (see our Fado dinner page). A food tour is the best introduction; read what to eat in Lisbon.
