Cooks in Lisboa!
Cook_H, October 2026
There was a good amount of food. I we love the history lesson given by our wonderful guide Beatriz. She kept the flow going, perfect pace, and was engaging with all the guests. If you have an opportunity to take this tour, do so. Worth the time. And if you get Beatriz, you’ll be well taken care of and enjoy the history she gives about the city and food.

Superb Food Tour - Come with an Empty Tummy!
pokeyslow, October 2026
Our tour was booked with Paula who works for Carpe Diem tours. She was a fantastic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We had so many good things to eat and drink that I lost track! The amount and quality of food we sampled were beyond my expectations- everything was delicious! The restaurants were all lovely and charming, especially one cafe where we got to have sardines and seafood soup outdoors under some umbrellas in the middle of the street. It was quite magical!. The Portuguese green wine was especially delicious as was the port. Our group was about half Canadians and the other half Americans- it was fun to get to know other people, and Paula did a great job of making sure everyone was entertained and engaged. I would absolutely recommend doing this tour if you have a few hours free one afternoon or evening.
