Igreja Santo Condestável
You will start the tour by meeting your guide in the Campo de Ourique in front of the Santo Condestavel Curch.
Campo de Ourique neighborhood
One of the most distinctive feature of Portuguese cuisine comes from the ocean. While you enjoy a simple grilled fish, or the seafood that abounds along our coast, you can be sure that you are in Portugal! Also for meat dishes, we have excellent DOP (Protected Denomination of Origin) meats. From north to south, whether it’s beef, pork or lamb. Finally, even vegetables and fruit preserve the taste of the old times. Hence some also having the DOP label, being many produced organically. The tour will be in one of the “more recent” traditional neighbourhoods of Lisbon, Campo de Ourique. Therefore, you will spend here your time with your guide, away from the usual mass tourism. Also, this tour is intended to be a foodie tour, for you to taste typical Portuguese cuisine. Above all, your guide will link Portuguese culture and history with its cuisine. Explaining the origin of these simple, but traditional dishes. Over the course of 3 hours, you will sample typical dishes of Portuguese cuisine. You will start to tantalize your taste buds with the most typical entrees in different locations in this neighborhood. Come and find out which they are. For this, you will go to the local, completely refurbished marketplace. Here you will have your more “refined” experiences.
Erva D´Ouro
Taste here some typical olive oil varieties, understanding all about their production, and products. To cleanse your palate you end with Ginjinha (cherry liqueur), which won the international 2016 “Great Taste” Award.
Aloma Bakery
In addition, we cannot forget the Pastel de Nata. This will be in a bakery that was elected for several years as being the best of Portugal.
World's best chocolate cake
To wrap things up, you will have the Best Chocolate Cake of the World! This bakery actually won the international contest for the best chocolate cake in the world...

“Great guide for our group of wine club members”
Joao was an incredible guide for our large group of 20 for two days around Lisbon and the wine region. Our group are wine club members from a winery in the USA and had a great trip with Joao educating us on Portuguese wines. His knowledge of the local wines was invaluable to our group. He also made the education entertaining and added his special flair, which was wonderful for this active and engaging group. Thank you Joao for two wonderful days in Lisbon that our wine club members will cherish for a lifetime.
