Lisbon, Portugal - Foodie Travel Guide

Lisbon is full of exciting sites and activities from the jaw-dropping Jerónimos Monastery to the soul-stirring Fado performances in the Alfama neighborhood. Lisbon is also a culinary gem, with all kinds of dishes, drinks, and treats to enjoy.

He shares recommendations for the best places to get Portugal’s iconic custard tart, the sweet local cherry liqueur called Ginjinha, and uma bica, the strong coffee loved by Lisboetas. Plus, Brent reveals the amazing food you can get in Lisbon with dishes from former African colonies in Angola, Cape Verde, Mozambi que, and, of course, Brazil. And, if you’re looking for a nice glass of wine, there’s plenty of great choices in Lisbon!
