  • Tapas Tours in Lisbon

    There are those who plan holidays based on the cultural and historical sites to be visited, and those who plan holidays around exploring a new country's cuisine. And for all those food obsessed travellers out there, what better way to get to know Portugal's gastronomic heritage than through discovering tapas in Lisbon courtesy of your own private guide?

    There is so much to be learned about a country's culture and history through its food, and your private host will share all of this with you, as well as some of Lisbon's most delicious bites! Curious to visit the city's top food markets, or uncover where the locals go for the best seafood and petiscos, Portuguese tapas? Then booking a tapas private tour in Lisbon is most definitely for you!

    Unlike group tours, which give you little freedom to determine where to visit and when, your local hosts are there to build your itinerary based around your schedule and interests. With your guides, there is no running around to meet other people's schedules, your time is yours and yours alone! Have specific food allergies or restrictions? No problem! Just let your host know and they will design your tapas tasting adventure accordingly.

  • Are you wondering what is the best way to enjoy tapas in Lisbon?

    To begin, it's important to know that the Portuguese term for tapas is petiscos. Why not start with your own private wine and tapas (petiscos!) tour, designed just for you by a local host. Your dining adventure through the city will uncover some of Lisbon's coolest neighbourhoods, traditional food boutiques, and family-owned restaurants, all while filling you with some of the most sumptuous, traditional tapas offerings around. And don't forget the wine pairings too, of course, which have been expertly chosen to pair perfectly with the tapas, as well as give you a sampling of Portugal's fine wine culture!

    To truly understand tapas in Lisbon, it is also important to appreciate the ingredients that go into them. And for this, we suggest booking a food tour in Lisbon with a local host, including ten delectable tastings! As you make your way through the city, your host will share with you some of Lisbon's top producers for specialties like sardines, cured meats, cheeses, ginjinha cherry liquor, Portugal's famed dish - bacalhau, and the adored egg tart pastry, pastel de nata! Ask any local and you are sure to learn that these are the delicacies that make up many of the tapas in Lisbon!

    Perhaps with your love of food comes a shared love of music, which is understandable considering how sensual the two are. If this is the case, then you could do no better than booking a tapas tour that comes complete with an evening of listening to Portugal's beloved Fado music. While all visits to Lisbon should include Fado, travellers often have a difficult time finding an authentic experience. Thanks to you local guide, the guesswork is gone! Begin your evening dining at some of Lisbon's favourite tapas spots before heading on to an intimate little corner to experience Fado music at its finest!

Sylvia hosted my family and me for a food tour in Lisbon. The words that we used to describe her at breakfast the next day were delightful, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, captivating, lovely and many more superlative adjectives. The places she took us to are the types of places we love to go to but would never find them on our own in a million years. The food served was truly amazing with lots of variety. At each restaurant we visited Sylvia told the story of why she chose this one and with each dish she told it's story. I would unhesitantly recommend you engage Sylvia for your food tour of Lisbon. Do it now before she gets too busy to accommodate you!

Angelo is the BEST - book him NOW

Don't waste your time looking for anyone else. Angelo's tour was perfect. He prefers to think of it as a conversation among friends, strolling through the city, and enjoying authentic local food and drink along the way. He is very agreeable to adjusting the tour according to your preferences. When it comes time to say goodbye and end the tour, you feel like you are saying goodbye to an old friend. Highly recommend. Book him without hesitation.

Absolutely fabulous tour by Sylvain!

We were lucky enough to choose Sylvain for a guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable with not only food and the foods of Lisbon but the history of Lisbon as well. He chose the highest quality of establishments to bring us to. He knew we were very interested in wines and he made that a priority. His love for wine and food really made this tour the best tour we have ever had and we have taken many around the world. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you Sylvain!

Oitstanding Food Tour

We took a food tour with Silvia in January 2025. She did a fantastic tour of showing us the highlights of Portuegese and Lisbon food. It also included a tour of some of the key neighborhoods. Lisbon is hilly and Silvia knew all the tricks about getting around by elevators throughout the city! The food tastings were spot on and delicious. She was very patient with us and took her time explaining the foods and how they were made. Silvia has a delightful personality...my wife and I felt like family. This was a private tour using WithLocals and highly recommend the site and Silvia!
