The experience

Nine tastings and four drink pairings through Lisbon’s backstreets, away from the well-worn tourist routes.

This walking tour by Eating Europe stays away from Baixa’s main tourist strip, moving instead through the Moorish Quarter and Mouraria — the multicultural neighbourhood where fado is said to have been born — to four family-run stops most visitors would walk straight past.

Nine food tastings and four local drink pairings run through the afternoon, alongside a stop with VIP access to a traditional fado house steeped in music history, and mural-covered backstreets that show a side of Lisbon the main squares don’t.

Who this suits

A good choice when it matches the way you want to use the city.

  • Travellers who want Lisbon’s food scene explained by a local guide, not just eaten.
  • A first real introduction to Mouraria, one of the city’s least-visited historic quarters.
  • A properly filling afternoon — nine tastings is closer to a meal than a snack.
