Itinerary and highlights
Start at Lisbon's historic 1829 pastry shop for soft, sweet Pão de Deus ("Bread of God") brioche buns topped with delicate shredded coconut.
Stand on the cobblestones for a traditional shot of sweet, ruby-red Ginjinha sour cherry liqueur right outside a century-old street hole-in-the-wall.
Standard Track (Bonjardim): Taste legendary, open-flame roasted Piri Piri chicken paired with crisp, golden Pastéis de Bacalhau (codfish cakes).
Vegetarian Track (Casa do Alentejo): Step inside a stunning Moorish palace for comforting Açorda Alentejana (garlic-coriander bread broth with poached egg) and golden Peixinhos da Horta (tempura-battered green beans).
Standard Track (Union Portugal Empanadas): Bite into a warm, savory Bifana—thinly sliced, garlic-marinated pork simmered to tenderness and served in a crusty roll.
Vegetarian Track (Taverna Carolina): Savor rich, comforting Empadão de Lentilhas—a traditional Portuguese shepherd's pie made with savory seasoned lentils and smooth mashed potatoes.
Standard Track: Experience smoky Chouriço Assado—traditional Portuguese pork sausage roasted tableside over open flames in a clay dish.
(Note: Vegetarian guests skip Stop 5 or enjoy a relaxed street walk as this venue focuses strictly on flaming pork sausage).
Conclude in Chiado with warm, flaky Pastéis de Nata (custard tarts) pulled fresh from the oven and dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar.
