Lisbon Food Walking Tour

Updated: Mar 18, 2022

Joining the Oh My Cod Food Tour hosted by Silvia Olivenca was a terrific way to start our time in Lisbon!



We arrived in Lisbon on January 18, 2022, and Paul's birthday seemed like a great way to celebrate learning about the city and its food. So, we booked a walking tour of the city's food.


"Not only was the food terrific, but Silvia's understanding of Portuguese food, wine and history made this tour unforgettable!"

Our tour started under the Rua Augusta Arch in Commercial Square. At each stop, we learned a little more about Lisbon and it's culinary traditions.


 

At our first stop Silvia arranged a wonderful selection of local foods and shared the history of each. Each bite was full of flavor. We will go back to this place!


Next, we walked up the hill to a restaurant with hot dishes. There were several surprises in both the food and the history. The tour group was building a nice comaraderie as we shared the experience and continued to learn interesting things about Lisbon's culinary and cultural history.


Our third stop featured very traditional Portuguese dishes and a lovely wine.

Finally, we had an array of small dishes and cheered to the birthdays of two of our tour group participants - including Paul! To find out exactly where and what we ate, you'll have to book a tour with Oh My Cod!


We really enjoyed exploring several Lisbon neighborhoods. Not only was the food terrific, but Silvia's understanding of Portuguese food, wine and history made this tour unforgettable!
