The guide will take you walking around town on the way to your first restaurant of the afternoon. As you walk, your guide will chat to you about Portuguese gastronomy, and of the explosion of its popularity on the international stage. Bars and restaurants here are not typically as crowded as neighbour Spain, people here like to sit down and taste with no rush.
In some places, instead, we will eat sharing, finger-using and generally getting stuck in the food. The dishes served each afternoon will vary, but you can expect a selection of food ranging from niche regional specialties to all-time Portuguese classics.
Portuguese cuisine has many Mediterranean influences due to the Portuguese Colonial Empire that started to expand overseas in the 15th century. The influence of its former colonies is notable especially in the wide variety of spices used, as you will see on the famous Lisbon pastries. You will also have the chance to try Lisbon's most characteristic alcoholic beverage - the liquor called “Ginjinha”.
