1. When is the best time to take part in a Food Tour during my stay?
While we are sure that you will greatly enjoy our food tour in Lisbon at any point during your stay, we recommend that you book your Food Tour at the beginning of your stay. This will allow you to get your bearings around the city, and gives you the perfect opportunity to go back to the places you enjoyed the most during our tour.

5. I have a specific diet /food allergies – can I take part in a Food Tour anyway?
- If you don’t eat fish, we do not have the possibility to cater for you. Portugal having over 800km of coast, we represent this on our food tour by serving different fish tastings.
- If you have food allergies (e.g. milk, eggs) or if you follow a particular diet (e.g. diabetic), it is still possible for you to attend our Food Tours. Please note – you will need to tell us this information when booking on our site so that we can adapt the tastings for you.
- If you are pescatarian, meaning you do eat fish but no meat, it is still possible to attend our Food Tours.
- If you eat meat and no fish at all, we do not have the possibility to cater for you.
- If you are strictly vegetarian, meaning you don’t eat any meat or fish, we cannot cater for you unfortunately as the portuguese food scene is mainly composed of meat and seafood.
- If you follow a vegan diet, it will not be possible to attend our Food Tours. Portuguese cuisine is predominantly based on meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products and is thus not compatible with a vegan diet.
