Gastronomic heritage and tradition are deeply rooted in Lisbon culture, and they are one of the main tourist attractions of the city.

Lisbon is a city which boasts a strong cultural and gastronomic heritage/influence of the people who inhabited it: Phoenicians, Arabs and Romans – and even today we can recognize part of said legacy in the typical local gastronomy. The gastronomy, wine, the mere act of sharing a meal or a drink with friends, are common behavior in the city’s life.

The closeness to the sea provides the local gastronomy with truly delicious fish and seafood dishes. Cod and baked sardine are irresistible dishes. In Lisbon you will also find the best of Mediterranean cuisine, bread, olive oil, cheese, sausages and a wide varieties of nibbles. As a dessert, the pastéis de nata (custard tart) offer the unique flavor of time-honored Lisbon sweet making. In the Autumn you’ll be taken aback by the charming scent of the roast chestnuts sold in the streets…
