Quick Details
3 food stops, 3 Portuguese Chefs, 3 Lisbon districts.
STOP 1. Creativity, zero-waste & hard work, served since 2013 by this female Chef, who worked in several Michelin-star restaurants after being a cinema director. Here everything is homemade, including butter, pickles, smoked products, artisanal bread. Signature cuisine served informally.
STOP 2. Depending on the day this stop will change, but both Chefs share the same compromise, which is the balance between tradition and innovation, local products and cooking technics.
STOP 3. A sensory approach to what we usually only see in books. This Chef brings to our plates and palates, the techniques of fish conservation used by the Phoenicians, now perfected and presented in balanced fish dishes, full of umami and savouriness. Food & culture, past & present became intertwined. Unique in Portugal, rare in the world.
Three Chefs gathered around the same values & principles: promotion of local gastronomic traditions & artisanal knowledge; seasonal menus & products; creating innovative processes that respect authentic food and traditions; sustainability and biodiversity.
This walking food tour will also allow you to know more about three iconic Lisbon districts, now and then: Chiado, Bica (where the most photogenic street in the world is located) and Baixa.
We will be meeting at the viewpoint Miradouro São Pedro de Alcantara, near Chiado and Bairro Alto. Arrive early to enjoy the amazing view.
To reach this address you can take the 28 Tramway, step out at Largo do Camões (Camões square) stop and walk 3-4 minutes to the meeting point.
Since this is one of the 7 hills of Lisbon, some guests love to take the famous tuk tuks (small electric cars, with one driver, open air) to the top.
One difference between the two tours is that the Sustainable Portuguese Chefs Food Tour is not suitable for vegetarians or pescatarians, and our Lisbon Food & Wine Walking Tour is.
The second factor is that Lisbon Food & Wine Walking Tour is designed to give you a general perspective of Portuguese gastronomy and wine regions and their historical and social evolution. Thanks to Lisbon diversity we have tastings from the sea and the plain, from the north and south all served in small restaurants owned by local families.
The Sustainable Portuguese Chefs Food Tour intends to present to you some of the most interesting food projects and Chefs you can find in Lisbon, who developed their recipes and products based on the same food pillars. They all use local, quality ingredients, supplied by farmers, herders, fishers, butchers, bakers and artisans who preserve traditional knowledge and techniques and work with respect for the environment, the landscape and animal welfare.
These Chefs are complementary in what each of them explores and how they present it, which makes this experience very rich, unique and eclectic.
