THISWASTHEBESTFOODTOUR I HAVEEVERTAKENINMYLIFE. Literally. I was absolutely blown away by this tour, especially considering I just took a few tours in Spain where I paid double for them and they couldn’t even compare. My husband and I took this tour with Pedro and Daniella. Words can’t describe how absolutely amazing they were ! If I could take this tour 200 more times, I would ! Pedro and Daniella were both locals — they were both full of energy, charisma, history and tales about the local culture. Everywhere we went, every single place we visited on this tour — they were impressing us with incredible lively depictions of local life and historical significance of the said place. Places they took us too — were absolutely unique gems, hole-in-the-wall places, you would likely never found on their own. The tour finished off with Pastella de Nata, the most amazing traditional desert Portugal has to offer. We literally walked away smiling like kids after this tour, we had an amazing time ! I loved Pedro and Daniella, I would love to stay in touch with them but don’t want to see like a creeper — they are the coolest though ever and made our tour very special ! Thank you for showing us a secret side of Portugal, this tour was definitely a highlight of our two week trip to Europe !

«TASTINGLOCALCULTURE» There she was — Filipa — waiting for us with a big smile on her face. Not only was it a food adventure filled with so many very«delicioso» Portuguese specialties. But also filled with a lot of background information about Portuguese history and local culture. I loved the feeling of walking in the backstreets of Lisbon side by side with Filipa who’s born in Lisbon herself and who’s very passionate about the city’s food culture. Seriously, do yourself a favour and book this tour. You’ll see a side of Lisbon you most likely haven’t seen before and discover the city through your stomach. And no — you won’t only get to taste Lisboa’s melting pot of flavours but also it’s culture from the perspective of a local. The perfect combo. It was so good that by the end of the tour we had a hard time saying goodbye. I guess that’s enough said. Now stop reading reviews and book already. You won’t regret it.

Estás de visita a Lisboa e queres provar o melhor da gastronomia local, mas com alguém que conheça os cantos à casa? Então as experiências gastronómicas da Taste of Lisboa, comandadas pela energética Filipa Valente, são verdadeiramente obrigatórias! Existem dois percursos distintos, ou pela Mouraria ou por Campo de Ourique, e a proposta passa por visitar alguns dos melhores restaurantes destes dois bairros, comer algumas iguarias enquanto ouves histórias interessantes sobre estes bairros históricos. Pessoalmente adoro a boa onda e a simpatia genuína da Filipa, que comanda as food tours. Uma experiência obrigatória para os foodies ou para quem tenha amigos estrangeiros que estão de visita a Lisboa e querem provar a gastronomia local.
