Let’s start this tour in one of the most typical restaurants in Porto, to taste Bolinhos de Bacalhau accompanied by a Beirão shot (typical liquor from Portugal).
We'll walk around the Jewish neighborhood to understand the next dish: Alheira.
In Picota is time to eat one of the most important dishes of this city due to its history. Alheira with Green Wine is the perfect combination.
Now it's time for Bifana, a small sandwich with meat and its sauce, with tomato and a little bit spicy! The best way to eat it is with Porto beer… Super Bock.
And last but not least: Restaurante Maria Odete. Here you will have a menu with typical meals, such as cheeses and chorizos, Codfish as the main dish and to drink Douro Wine.
But this is not all, let's hope you still have a hole in your stomach because we also offer you dessert with Port Wine.
After all, we recommend that you come expecting to learn more about this city, its history, culture, and gastronomy. We'll talk about food... a lot!

On 3rd June Ana Bagum of City Lovers Tours took us on a wonderful food tour of Porto. It ended up being a private tour and made even better by her cheerful and friendly character. The food stops were mingled with history, the city, the culture and of course the explanation of the gastronomy.
We started at the Cafe d'Ouro in the university district. Hysterical. Let her tell you why. We might not have ventured to this and most of the spots ourselves so it really completes our visit to Porto.
All of the samples eg scrummy Alheira pork free sausage and the spicy meat sandwich Bifana, were extremly tasty, not overfilling and of course tried with some nice vinho verde or Super Bock Porto beer and even a shot of Beirao liqueur. The tour ended in Maria Odete's charming restaurant for a typical meal.

Great experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun! The other couples on the tour were interesting, kind and easy to talk with. Plus the food was great. Cod Fish of course, but the spicy pork was a big, pleasant surprise!

This was an excellent easy paced walking tour of Porto with City Lovers Tours, covering some of the historical places and tasting some of Porto's speciality foods and wines. Thoroughly enjoyed the cod cakes and the cod and fries meal. Tasted green wine for the very first time and it was delicious. Our tour guide Anna was very pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable and provided us with lots of useful information to help us explore Porta. Good value for money and would highly recommend this tour.

Marianna, our guide, was beyond amazing! Her warmth was equal to her knowledge. Being a Spanish Jew with a familial history in Portugal, I was so intrigued when Marianna told us the story of “Jewish Sausage”. She was sensitive and respectful explaining the history of Judaism in Portugal. The four of us are New Yorkers and we had an amazing couple from the UK join us. We were the perfect group! I could honestly say it was one of my best excursions ever in my travels! Obrigada, Marianna!

Wonderful tour with Rita! She shared some history of Porto and of the food items chosen.
Loved every stop and every meal. However, my husband and I were sick the next day due to something we ate.

Enjoyed the food. Got to taste some interesting food. Had cod in 2 different dishes. Got to hear about how our guide had these same foods normally in her life. Really enjoyed the cod dish at Maria Odete that used unique Portuguese potato chips. Definately enough food to be full and specific Portuguese liquor, green wine, Super Bock (because we were in Northern Portugal 😆) , wine and port. There were only 4 people on this tour which was really nice. Definitely recommend others to take tour.
