The experience

There is a pleasure in discovering a city through its food: taking a seat, trying something different and finding out how it fits into local life. Our Porto Portuguese Food Tour brings those moments together with a guided walk through the city centre.

Your guide connects the tasting stops with the city around you. Between food venues, there is time to take in Porto and enjoy the conversations that food opens up. You can concentrate on the experience while the day's menu gives your visit a delicious direction.

The food selection changes with the restaurant, season and day of the week. Rather than working through a fixed list of dishes, you will discover Portuguese flavours through the arrangements made for your tour.

1. Meet at Santo Ildefonso. Find your guide at the church's main entrance. 2. Discover central Porto. Enjoy a guided food walk, with city context between the tasting stops. 3. Take time at the table. Enjoy Portuguese food and drinks from the arranged menu over an experience lasting approximately four hours.

Porto around the table

Your guide connects tasting stops with the surrounding city. Meet at the main entrance of Igreja de Santo Ildefonso, while the menu varies by day and venue. A traditional dish discussed in our Journal is cultural background, not a guarantee that it appears on every tour.
