A Night Out in Bairro Alto An Evening of Food Spirits and Superstitions

A Night Out in Bairro Alto An Evening of Food Spirits and Superstitions

Our 3.5 hour evening food tour explores the international influences on Portuguese cuisine. It’s set in the lively Bairro Alto, an old bohemian neighbourhood best known for its nightlife. You’ll stop at six carefully selected local eateries, meet the people and hear the stories behind each of the dishes you taste. Try ‘alheira’, a pheasant sausage invented by Portuguese Jews as an alternative to pork which is forbidden in the Jewish religion. Sit down for ‘petiscos’ (traditional Portuguese sharing plates) with an African twist. And of course no Portugal food tour is complete without ‘bacalhau’ (codfish)! Learn how codfish has become a staple in Portuguese cuisine even though it can’t be caught off the coast. Our tour ends with one one of the most famous pastries in Lisbon - the pastel de nata!

Our food experience shows you a fascinating side of Portuguese gastronomy that others don’t see. Plus you’ll enjoy traditional dishes, old legends and fun facts along the way.
