The Evening Classic Food Tour is probably the closest thing you will find to a "crash course" on Portuguese cuisine! During your Evening Food Tour you will visit 3/4 different restaurants/taverns in the Algarve, and taste around 10 of the most traditional dishes in Portugal.

The Morning Market Tour offers a chance as well to visit one of the town's markets prior to your food tour, so if you are also looking for a great insight on local food and its ingredients, you can join us on our first tour of the day.

Sophia gave us the best food tour imaginable. We visited three different restaurants and got to try 9 different local dishes. Sophia was a great guide, very knowledgeable of both the dishes and the history of Lagos. We were a small company which also gave us time to chat and get to know each other a little bit. All and all a perfect evening!
Kind guide, pleasant evening, but not worth €200

I appreciated the sweetness and knowledge of our guide, and the evening was pleasant. Timing and number of stops seemed appropriate. Still, it did not feel like good value. We visited three spots and had one drink at each. The first stop included four tastings, the second had two, and the last had two including dessert. Tastings were mostly two small tapas-style portions split among four couples, so there were no real meals. The restaurant picks felt fair and the wine was just okay. After reflecting on the experience, I feel the €200 would have been better spent elsewhere. We actually left our kayak tour with more practical, written recommendations. Tip for the operator: Consider sharing a simple handout or text with the names of each dish and drink, plus where we had them. I wanted to use the tour to learn Portuguese food terms and expand my palate, without taking notes during the evening. I did not see menus and could not recall the names afterward. A written list would help guests order more confidently for the rest of their trip.

What a fun time learning about Lagos' food culture. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the variety of foods was widespread and really pushed our self-inflicted taste boundaries. Highly recommend this tour.
