ABOUT THEEXPERIENCE

Visit Porto's downtown, Baixa, and be amazed with the culture, the history, and most importantly, the food. Come with us and explore the city's markets, delicatessens, the most amazing eateries, and meet the people who make it all happen.

You'll taste your way through pastry shops, artisan cheese shops, hidden tascas, busy snack-bars, and more. As award-winning food bloggers, we'll let you in on the secrets behind the recipes and products you'll be tasting and observing throughout the tour.

We'll also help you understand the city as we take you to the backstreets, but also the main monuments, where we'll give you insights on architecture, history, and of life as a Portuense.

ABOUT THEMENU

On this tour you will taste at least 14 different foods and 5 wines/beers at 6 different stops.

Our tour will put Porto's food scene under perspective. You'll travel through busy pastry shops and try delicious conventual and pastries. The smells and flavors of the mountain will appear before you in one of the city's oldest cheese shops, where you'll taste four artisan cheeses and small-producer wines.
We'll then skip into one of Porto's most celebrated eateries to try a mouth-watering sandwich and a comforting local soup. Through our way we'll stumble upon a hole-in-a-wall tasca that'll delight your tastebuds with savory charcuterie, regional breads, olives, a codfish delicacy, and an old-style regional wine, served in a bowl.
Because dessert is calling, you'll be tasting another special pastry and a coffee. To finish the tour on a high note, you'll taste a couple of Port wines with dried fruits in a very special setting.

The tour may be customized according to personal preferences or dietary restrictions. The tastings and stops may vary according to the day of the week.

ABOUT THELOCATION

Baixa is Porto's downtown, a place filled with history and the city's gastronomical hub. It is rich in traditional restaurants, but also novel ventures. It's also home to Porto's largest food market, Bolhão, and many of the city's most iconic specialty grocery stores. Between tastings, we'll walk through the neighborhood and stop at important cultural marks so we can contextualize the people, the history, and also the food.
