Description

Begin in Largo Camões, the city’s bohemian heart and the place for intellectuals, artists, performers, and actors for the last 200 years. Stop at a local pastry shop for a warm, flaky Vegan Pastel de Nata: this dairy-free take on Portugal’s most iconic pastry keeps all the cinnamon-sweet charm of the original, without losing any of its soul. Wander into Chiado and step into Bertrand Bookstore, the oldest operating bookstore in the world. Open since 1732, it has survived earthquakes, revolutions, and even the rise of Amazon, remaining a living monument to Lisbon’s literary and cultural heritage. Among its wooden shelves and old-world charm, your guide shares stories of writers, poets, and the role books and Cafes have played in shaping the city’s identity. From here, wander into Chiado for a special surprise at Organi, a creative plant-based bite you won’t find on any other tour, crafted to capture Lisbon’s seasonal flavors and artistic spirit. This little extra is the tour’s secret flourish. Next, wander into Baixa, where you settle into Kong, a stylish vegan-friendly restaurant that has mastered plant-based Portuguese classics. Here, enjoy a decadent Vegan Bacalhau com Natas, a rich, creamy reimagining of the country’s beloved cod dish, made with jackfruit or hearts of palm, golden potatoes, caramelized onions, and a silky dairy-free cream sauce or a Vegan Francesinha, the reimagined smorgasbord of a layered sandwich particularly famous in the city of Porto (your call!). This is comfort food, Lisbon-style, without compromise. No Portuguese food journey is complete without a Ginjinha in Rossio, Lisbon’s legendary sour cherry liqueur. Sip it the traditional way at a family-run bar, learning about its monastic origins and the friendly local debate over whether to enjoy it with or without the sour cherry. By the end of this tour, you’ll have tasted the flavors that define Lisbon, learned the stories behind them, and discovered that plant-based eating in Portugal can be every bit as rich, soulful, and satisfying as tradition intended. With every bite, you’ll understand: vegan or not, Lisbon loves to feed you well.
