Lisbon Awakens: A Culinary Crossroads, Reborn.

We’ll start by traveling back in time for a taste of the “Age of Exploration,” a golden period when Lisbon became the center of a global empire, awash in power and holding the keys to the spice trade. We’ll search for a taste of those distant roots in the simple offerings of a classic pastry shop beside the 18th-century Estrela Basilica. From there we’ll make our way up to the out-of-the-way Campo de Ourique neighborhood, where our story leaps to contemporary times in this well-preserved “village” in the city. We’ll have a belly-warming shot a shot of ginjinha, a smooth, sour-cherry liqueur that is a traditional local eye-opener, on our way to one of Lisbon’s finest traditional markets. There we will explore the old artisans – fishmongers, butchers, greengrocers, bakers – working alongside more modern, boutique offerings recently added to the market. By hearing their stories, we’ll locate that sweet spot where past and present, near and far, meet and become deliciously entwined.

We will explore history hidden in iconic pastries and spices, as well as in convent and churches.

Campo de Ourique, a neighborhood packed with traditional food shops is also home to a small but very interesting market.

We will taste some of the best custard tarts in the city while admiring the 19th century tiles and trees.
