Overview

We’ll start by traveling back in time for a taste of the “Age of Exploration,” a golden period when Lisbon became the center of a global empire, awash in power and holding the keys to the spice trade. We’ll search for a taste of those distant roots in the simple offerings of a classic pastry shop beside the 18th-century Estrela Basilica. From there we’ll make our way up to the out-of-the-way Campo de Ourique neighborhood, where our story leaps to contemporary times in this well-preserved “village” in the city. We’ll have a belly-warming shot a shot of ginjinha, a smooth, sour-cherry liqueur that is a traditional local eye-opener, on our way to one of Lisbon’s finest traditional markets. There we will explore the old artisans – fishmongers, butchers, greengrocers, bakers – working alongside more modern, boutique offerings recently added to the market. By hearing their stories, we’ll locate that sweet spot where past and present, near and far, meet and become deliciously entwined.

Amazing tour!

Published on Jan, 2025

Mika was an amazing guide and is a gifted teacher. She started by grounding us in history but in a manner that was engaging and interesting fur the whole family. The foods complimented her stories, the neighborhood and the historical context. We learned about living in Lisbon and wondered in typical neighborhoods. We had a wonderful time and it was the highlight of our trip.

Excellent experience highly recommend it

Published on Jan, 2025

Culinary Backstreets is a wonderful way to experience Lisbon. Kika our guide was so passionate and energetic about her city. She gave us an incredible overview of the history of Portugal and Lisbon particularly over coffees and pastries (after she taught us how to order coffee in Portugal which is a lesson I am still using!) and then led us on a multi-hour tour of different neighborhoods. She pointed out landmarks, explained the history of the neighborhoods, day to day life of the Portuguese and answered 50+ questions from our group. She never lost energy or enthusiasm and was very patient with us. The tour had many stops (I think at least 8) and it was a great range from sit down lunches to little bites and snacks and drinks. It was a very diverse overview of the city and Kika took us to places we would have never found on our own. It felt very authentic and excellent value. I also appreciate that Kika filled our day very nicely even though it was Sunday (and a 10am start) when many things were probably closed. We never felt like we were missing anything because Kika planned it out so seamlessly. I highly recommend this tour and Kika in particular, my husband and I are not big on group activities or meeting people on vacation but this was totally worth it and a highlight of our Lisbon experience. I would totally use CB in another city too. Kika also gave us some tips for other cities on our trip to Portugal which was very kind and much appreciated. Thank you again!

An Insightful Journey into Lisbon's Culture and Cuisine

Published on Dec, 2024

We had an exceptional tour, exploring a few of Lisbon’s culinary highlights and savoring a variety of local cuisine. Our guide, Kika, was knowledgeable, engaging, and accommodating, adding humor and depth to the experience. We recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover more of Lisbon.

Amazing Food History with a Stellar Guide!

Published on Dec, 2024

There are not enough characters to explain how great this tour was. Our guide, Laura, set the table at our first stop by explaining Portugal's food exchanges with the world and as we went along our day everything was connected and our minds were blown! We had such a great time and this was one of our best Culinary Backstreets tours (though all of them have been fantastic)! Thank you for another stellar tour!

A fun and tasty tour !

Published on Dec, 2024

Loved this food tour ! It was a great way to taste a wide range of products and learn about the Portuguese rich food history.
