Porto: Culinary Backstreets - Beyond the Barrel Food Tour

Discover the culinary diversity of Porto on a guided food tour. Explore the city's backstreets, sample local specialties, and learn about the city's rich culinary heritage.
Begin your full-day food tour of central Porto by gathering around a table spread with artisanal products from the arid northeastern region of Trás-os-Montes, served by a proud northerner in the back room of his shop.

Continue with the Porto ritual of flaky, sweet pastries and strong coffee to fuel your stroll. In the pedestrian streets of up-and-coming Cedofeita, see how traditional food shops coexist with a growing gallery scene.

At a beloved old grocery, get a crash course in the cheeses of the north, from the buttery Serra sheep’s milk cheese to the paprika-dusted rinds of Beira Baixa. At a hip newcomer to the area, have Porto’s most beloved savory pastry, rissois, made to order, crisp on the outside and gooey within.

Then, your lunch table awaits at one of Porto’s time-honored neighborhood tascas, where locals gather every day for seasonal specials like fresh sardines or baked duck rice, studded with smoked chorizo.

Along the way, stop into a shop producing some of Portugal’s finest single-origin, bean-to-bar chocolates sourced from São Tomé. Tucked behind the doors of a historic cinema, see a recently revealed mural celebrating Porto’s most festive holiday, the Feast of São João.

Finally, having spent your day exploring the diverse origins of the city’s cuisine, wind down at an old taverna for a small glass of that sweet and fortified elixir that made this city so famous.
