BUILD A TOUR ALL TOURS

Meet the passionate people crafting old-school Portuguese food deep inside Lisbon’s traditional neighborhoods.

Visit the traditional hole-in-the-wall bakeries famed for their warm, freshly baked breads and eggy, sweet tarts. But your egg adventure won’t end there. Ovos (eggs) are an essential ingredient in all Portuguese cuisine. They’re poached in soups and açordas (bread stew); fried on top of steaks, mixed in sausages and sandwiches; blended into many of their beloved bacalhau (salted cod) dishes; and beaten with sugar and cinnamon in numerous desserts and sweets. You’ll explore heaps of these delicious recipes alongside a wide range of Portuguese wines. Explore the undiscovered flavors of traditional canned fish, savory petiscos (Portuguese small bites), craft Portuguese beer and a range of freshly picked fruit and nuts. 

By the end of this tour, your love of Portuguese cuisine will not only deepen, but you’ll have a profound sense of saudade – a sense of longing and missing combined with a paradoxical joy and hope for the yet distant future. In short, you’ll be booking your next culinary trip to Portugal the minute you get home!

  • Savor a wide variety of Portuguese foods that have made Lisbon a gastronomical hub of Europe
  • Learn about a passionate food culture that’s been passed on for generations
  • Discover Lisbon’s traditional neighborhoods with your local English speaking guide
  • Explore the budding Portuguese craft beer movement
  • Discover a wide range of wines from Portugal’s many undiscovered regions

This trip was our first group travel and won’t be our last! Extremely well organized and the personal contacts you shared with us gave us a view of Portugal and their wines that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. To the entire Catavino Team, job well done!

Tour Itinerary

  • Lisbon Culinary Experience

    The tour begins with a Portuguese style pequeno almoço (breakfast) of coffee and pastel de nata (custard tart). This sweet and creamy egg tart is an emblematic pastry of Lisbon and the perfect start of your day! You will then meander through Lisbon’s most characteristic neighborhoods: Baixa de Lisboa and Alfama – the birthplace of Fado.

    You’ll also visit family run and gourmet shops specializing in Portuguese cuisine, as well as taste a variety of Portuguese petiscos, from the traditional bifana, to a gourmet Portuguese canned fish tasting. And of course, no Culinary Tour is complete without a line-up of craft beers and Portuguese wines! Your tour will end with medley of dried fruits and sweets. Perfect!

Create your own Delicious Portuguese Jam this Holiday

written by Gabriella Opaz | 12th December 2016

Fragrant, seasonal fruits and vegetables aren’t all that you’ll find at Bolhão Market. Many of the produce vendors transform their sappy melons, juicy tomatoes and gigantic gourds into tantalizing doces (jams), geleias (jelly), compotas (preserves) and marmelada (quince paste). Tomato jam is especially common in Portuguese homes as is Doce de Gila, made from the gila gourd — a type of spaghetti squash. These are especially delicious once you learn their grandmother secrets to making Portuguese jams and jellies. What makes these fruits and vegetables unique is their source. Many of the vendors at Bolhão remain connected to their villages farther north. Maria Teixeira, for instance, gets her vibrant gourds from her mother’s farm in Penafiel. When in Portugal, pay a visit to the market to pick up a few jars of these homemade treats. Perfect to enjoy in your airbnb or to take home with you. Want to learn...
