What you'll do
On your Secret Food Tour through Belém, follow your local guide on a carefully curated journey through one of Lisbon’s most captivating neighbourhoods. From charming riverside eateries to hidden gems frequented by locals, this tour will take you through a diverse selection of stops that celebrate the essence of Portuguese cuisine. You’ll savour everything from traditional "petiscos" and fresh seafood dishes to the iconic Pastel de Belém, all while discovering the culinary traditions that have shaped this historic district.
As you stroll past iconic landmarks like the Jerónimos Monastery and the Monument of the Discoveries, you’ll experience a neighbourhood known for its vibrant food scene, where street vendors and fine dining coexist in harmony. Whether indulging in century-old recipes or modern creations, you’ll discover what makes Belém truly special.
This tour promises to leave you with a sense of ‘saudade’—a nostalgic longing for the incredible flavours and memories you’ll create along the way.
All the food will be served with quality drinks or if you prefer, non-alcoholic beverages. A thoughtfully curated Upgraded Drinks Package is available.

Foreign Transaction Fees
A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
