Lisbon Food tour?

[jan]

Did any of you do a "food tour" in Lisbon (or Porto--but I know you had Shannon there).
I'd like for us to do one in one of those places and would love some reviews besides TA.

Hi Jan, I have a guy I use in Porto, I am not sure how much he would charge for just a couple of people but I could check. He is a wonderful guy. If you want to be on a group tour I have seen these guys around, but never went on one personally.

Some of my group went on a food tour in Lisbon. I just shot off an email to find out who the outfit is. They enjoyed it.

Jan - before our Portugal tour with Shannon, our group of six took a fabulous food tour in Lisbon with Culinary Backstreets. They offer several different tours - we took their "Song of the Sea"tour and had a fantastic time. My notes from that day show "Billed as 5 1/2 hrs, we managed to stretch it to over 6! It was amazing. Our guide led us up hills, down flights of stairs, across busy roadways, over a swing bridge. We visited a coffee roastary where they roast using wood to roast; one of only a couple of neighborhood public clothes washing places, where the women of the neighborhood still come to wash rugs and other large items (two came in while we were there enjoying our mid morning pasteils de nata); back streets with women sitting out visiting; a wine shop, two restaurants where we enjoyed amazing seafood; a cafe, and a cheese shop with a secret stash of aged port. No dinner for us last night"

And do watch the "Somebody Feed Phil" Netflix episode from Lisbon -- it made me homesick, and I really want to return to enjoy more of that wonderful city.

We went on Culinary Backstreets tour in Lisbon. Well actually, Alan. Marcia, Rhonda and David went. I decided it was a good day to get pneumonia! They loved it and just as Judy said, it lasted much longer than scheduled. We are actually going with them again in Rio in a few weeks. Highly recommended.

Culinary Backstreets Pretty sure it was the Lisbon Eats one because we couldn't schedule the seafood one.

Taste of Lisboa also does nice food tours. They have tours of somewhat less touristy neighborhoods like Campo do Ourique and Mouraria. I took the Campo do Ourique tour when I first moved to Portugal and have returned to many of the places we visited on the tour.
Taste Porto is quite good also. Just took a tour with them on Tuesday..
