You will start your food adventure near the Chapel of Souls, a famous chapel well-known for its blue and white tiles on the outside, depicting scenes from Saints' lives. In a pastry shop nearby we will begin with a beloved Portuguese pastry: a delectable and iconic treat that tantalizes taste buds with its rich, creamy custard filling nestled within layers of flaky, golden-brown puff pastry. This delighƞul pastry is perfectly balanced, offering a sweet and slightly caramelized flavor, often accentuated with a dusting of cinnamon or powdered sugar on top. It will be paired with the most typical of Portuguese sweets, a coffe just goes with it! A lovely and energetic start for our tour!

Mercado do Bolhao Stop 3
We will head to Bolhão Market, a neoclassic jewel and one of the most iconic buildings in town, dating back originally to 1937. Still nowadays the city market is a nevralgic point for the city's life, and it's perfectly integrated in one of the liveliest distrcts Here inside, you will try a board of local cheese and wine. Porto, known for its rich culinary heritage, boasts a variety of distinctive cheeses that capture the essence of the region. Paired with the local board we'll also drink a glass of local wine!

Avenida Dos Aliados Stop 4
Avenida dos Aliados is a big alley in the heart of Porto, famous for its city hall buildings and Art Noueveau palaces. It's definitely a must-see during your trip to Porto and we will pass by to head to our next stop, where you will enjoy a savory delight from Portuguese cuisine, bifana! It is a flavorful sandwich featuring thinly sliced marinated pork nestled within a soft or crusty bread roll. The pork is typically seasoned with garlic, paprika, and other spices, then slow-cooked to perfection.

Let's move towards Rua do Carmo, along which you can admire some of the most beautiful landmarks of the city, such as the Lions' Fountain or the Igreja do Carmo, a stunning baroque church with blue and white tiles on the outside. And in a Tasca nearby - a local restaurant that offers a traditional cuisine - you will discover a delightful aspect of Portuguese culinary culture. They're called petiscos, a term which refers to a variety of small, flavorful dishes akin to tapas in Spain. These bite-sized treats are designed for sharing, encouraging a communal and social dining experience. From marinated olives and cheese platters to grilled chorizo and seafood skewers, petiscos showcase the diverse and rich flavors of Portuguese cuisine. A glass of wine is included in the tasca, as well!

Lisbon Square Stop 6
Port Wine is named after the city of Oporto, the second largest city in Portugal and a major port that historically exported Portuguese wines. Port wine is fortified with grape spirits and tastes complex and sweet. In alternative to the drink alone you may also the cocktail try white port mixed with tonic. But you can actually use any style of port, including a Red or Young Tawny Port to make a Port and Tonic.
