Highlights
  • Rua Santa Catarina - First Stop) Pastel de Nata: a beloved Portuguese pastry, is a delectable and iconic treat that tantalizes taste buds with its rich, creamy custard filling nestled within layers of flaky, golden-brown puff pastry. This delightful pastry is perfectly balanced, offering a sweet and slightly caramelized flavor, often accentuated with a dusting of cinnamon or powdered sugar on top.

Coffee: paired with the most typical of Portuguese sweets, a coffee just goes with it! A lovely and energetic start for our tour!

  • Mercado do Bolhao - Second Stop) Board of local Cheeses: Porto, known for its rich culinary heritage, boasts a variety of distinctive cheeses that capture the essence of the region.

Wine: Paired with the local board we’ll also drink a glass of local wine!

  • Avenida Dos Aliados - Third Stop) Bifana: a savory delight from Portuguese cuisine, is a flavorful sandwich featuring thinly sliced marinated pork nestled within a soft or crusty bread roll. The pork is typically seasoned with garlic, paprika, and other spices, then slow-cooked to perfection.

Beer: in addition to the local food, we’ll drink a refreshing beer which pairs beautifully with the slightly spicy taste of the bifana.

  • Praca Gomes Teixeira - Forth Stop) Petiscos: a delightful aspect of Portuguese culinary culture, refer to a variety of small, flavorful dishes akin to tapas in Spain. These bite-sized treats are designed for sharing, encouraging a communal and social dining experience. From marinated olives and cheese platters to grilled chorizo and seafood skewers, petiscos showcase the diverse and rich flavors of Portuguese cuisine.

Pataniscas: a beloved Portuguese dish, are delicious, deep-fried fritters made from a batter of salted codfish, flour, eggs, and aromatic herbs. These golden-brown delights boast a crispy exterior that gives way to a tender and flavorful core.

Wine: a glass of wine is included in the tasca as well!

  • Lisbon Square - Fifth Stop) Port Wine is named after the city of Oporto, the second largest city in Portugal and a major port that historically exported Portuguese wines. Port wine is fortified with grape spirits and tastes complex and sweet. In alternative to the drink alone you may also the cocktail try white port mixed with tonic. But you can actually use any style of port, including a Red or Young Tawny Port to make a Port and Tonic.

Do Eat Better Experience tours are a mix of high-quality gastronomy as a way for showing local culture and lifestyle and a walking experience together with a local friend. This is the reason why we accept small groups only: we want to focus on a genuine exchange and give to each tourist the highest attention possible.

We had done a similar... - We had done a similar tour in Lisbon (which was excellent) so it was an obvious thing to do in Porto as well. Unlike Lisbon where we found ourselves in a group of 8, this time it was just the two of us - so in effect we had a private tour with Filipe. I'd say the food choices were better in Lisbon - but this was perhaps offset by the wine, beer and port provided on this tour!

Fantastic Food Tour! - Brilliant food tour with Andreia. She is super friendly, very knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to spend the tour with her. All the food and wine was delicious, especially the port! We even got to take away the leftovers. Definitely recommend the tour and it’s worth the money. Andreia also gave us lots of recommendations for the rest of our trip, managed to get to a dinner and lunch place which were both great. Thanks again Andreia!

Excellent Food and Wine Tour in Porto - Highly recommend this tour. Andreia honoured our booking although there was only me and my partner there. She took us to many different restaurants and explained the history of the food and wine of the region. She was so engaging and friendly and we definitely felt we had a taste of Portugal visiting locations that often were accessible only to the locals. The food and wine was plentiful. We couldn’t eat it all!

Food, facts and fun. Eat your way through Porto - Great day, spent the better part of it with Andreia, our guide. She is sweet and funny and full of interesting facts and tons of Portugal lore. We tasted so many great foods that we would never have tried. Thanks for a great day and a wonderful introduction to all that Porto has to offer.

Porto Food Tour - My wife and I had such an awesome time with Andreia. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide to show us around Porto and tells about their culture. She has such great hidden food gems that you wouldn’t know about if you don’t take this tour. If you’re in Porto you have to this tour with Andreia!
