How to choose

  • Taste as much as possible in an afternoon: the Baixa walk, 15 tastings in 3 hours.
  • Sit down to a meal: the small-group full-meal tour, or the Portugallium walk for 4 hours.
  • Evening with wine: the petiscos crawl, or tapas with live fado.
  • Bake: the Homecooking Lisbon class for the reviews, Lisboa Food Studio for 8 people, Nat’elier for a professional kitchen.
  • Music first, food second: a 50-minute fado show, then dinner on your own.
  • A dietary need: tell the operator before you book. The Carpe Diem tours and the petiscos crawl cannot cater for vegans, and only one tour here is vegan.
  • August: some small restaurants and tascas close for days or weeks; the tours run through it, and best time to visit Lisbon has the month.

For restaurants, tascas and bakeries to book or queue at on your own, see where to eat in Lisbon. To fit a tour into a plan, 3 days in Lisbon puts a food and wine walk and a fado night in the first day, and Lisbon in one day fits one round the sights. During the June festival, the street parties serve grilled sardines; see Santos Populares. For what to book before you fly, see what to book before you go in Lisbon.
