THE TOUR

The Portuguese typically serve petiscos as small, shareable appetizers and pair them with a refreshing glass of beer or the typical vinho verde. These are also social foods, encouraging you to take things slowly, share, and have fun with fellow food lovers.

Going uphill in this beautiful buzzing city is unavoidable, but having a tasty treat at the top makes it all worth it. And since Lisbon is the birthplace of petiscos, you’re in the right place! You’ll try quintessential local delicacies such as chouriço assado, flame-grilled sausage, peixinhos da horta, fried green beans, and Bolinhos de Bacalhau, crispy codfish fritters.

But you won’t only enjoy these delicious dishes… Your friendly host will tell you about the intriguing historical events that shaped this rich culture in a fun and interactive way!
