You will love it because it's more than a food tour — it's a taste of Lisbon’s soul.
It’s completely private, which means I can give you my full attention throughout the tour. I’ll tailor the pace to you, share personal tips and local insights, and make the experience feel relaxed, personal, and truly authentic — more like exploring Lisbon with a knowledgeable local than joining a standard group tour.
Come hungry, leave happy :)

What To Expect
We begin in Largo de São Domingos, next to Rossio Square, with a taste of the iconic ginjinha — a cherry liqueur served at the oldest ginjinha bar in Lisbon, open since 1840. After that, we visit a traditional tavern, one of the last in the city center, to try pastel de bacalhau paired with a glass of Vinho Verde. A stop for a bifana follows — the spicy marinated pork sandwich locals call one of the best in Lisbon. At a nearby viewpoint, we flame chouriço à bombeiro in a clay dish and share it with regional wine. To finish, the city’s sweetest classic — the pastel de nata.

5.00Sofia was a great guide. The food tour was well-curated with mixture of food spots popular to tourists and places locals frequent to. We were also given an up close experience of how food is prepared get an understanding of how food is intertwined with their culture. Definitely a tour worth taking if you’re around Lisbon area
Don’t hesitate & book Sofia!!! BEST tour

5.00This was probably one of the best private tours I’ve been on in Europe! I went with my husband, mom and sister, all of us agreed it was the best. Sofia is extremely funny, easy going and a joy to spend the day with! I don’t think we had an awkward moment in conversation once! We laughed, ate and drank as if we were all old friends! she was extremely accommodating when we told her we had plans the morning of in a different part of Lisbon that we had planned and completely customized the tour to that part of the city. And it did not disappoint!! She took us to all different places, local places for sure that were filled with good food and character. Even had history points, along with beautiful view points as we walked to our next restaurant. Very knowledgeable about the history of the city & the people who made it was it is. If you want an EXCELLENT TOUR with great food, drinks and company ~BOOK WITH SOFIA!!!

5.00Sofia did an excellent job showing us the local culture and food experience on our first day in Lisbon. It was like experiencing the town with a local resident. Excellent food and drink stops with local culture knowledge.

5.00What a night! What a tour, great company and food! Spend my 50th birthday with Sophia and her food tour and can't think of a better way to do it. We had a fantastic evening with great food and drinks in the most fantastic spaces. Can't think of better way to enjoy authentic local delicacies. Great fun and a night full of joy and belly aching laughter. Thank you Sophia, you were fantastic.
Amazing Food and Host! Thank you!

5.00Sofia is a great tour guide! I loved the tour so much that I went twice during my trip to Lisbon. The food was diverse and unique, and we also got to explore the city on foot in between each restaurant. Sofia is knowledgeable about the history of both the food and the city, and I learned a lot about the culture and heritage of Lisbon. Saúde!
Fun, informative, and delicious!

5.00Where to even begin? Sophia has crafted such a magical experience in this tour. We started as strangers and left the tour as friends with full bellies and warm hearts. Sophia was amazing with our 11 & 13 year old children and kept them engaged - even our slightly fussy child. I could go on and on but this was the singular best travel experience we have ever had and we hope to someday be able to return the favor for Sophia in our home city of New York. Book this tour now.
Authentic food and drinks!
