Join a walking food tour that takes you through some of the finest culinary stops in the beautiful city of Porto, with the selection of dishes varying according to the season and availability.
Your journey begins with a pastel de nata, an iconic Portuguese pastry filled with rich, creamy custard encased in layers of flaky, golden-brown puff pastry. This treat is perfectly paired with a traditional coffee, providing a delightful and energetic start to your tour.
Next, you might savour a selection of distinctive local cheeses, or sample a bifana - thinly sliced marinated pork seasoned with garlic, paprika, and other spices, then slow-cooked to perfection and served within a soft or crusty bread roll.
You may also get to taste petiscos, flavourful dishes similar to Spanish tapas. From marinated olives and cheese platters to grilled chorizo and seafood skewers, these small plates showcase the diverse and rich flavours of Portuguese cuisine. You may also try Pataniscas, deep-fried fritters made from a batter of salted codfish, flour, eggs, and aromatic herbs.
Finally, no visit to Porto would be complete without tasting Port Wine, named after the city itself. This fortified wine is complex and sweet, made even more special when mixed with tonic. Whether you prefer it straight or in a cocktail, this drink is the ideal way to round off your Porto gastronomic adventure.
