Authentic food journeys beyond the well-trodden path

Eat Portugal curates intimate, authentic food journeys that go far beyond food tours or cooking holidays. We open doors to passionate producers, artisans and chefs you won’t easily find on Google or ChatGPT, people who live their craft and love to share it.

Every experience is personally hosted and thoughtfully paced. No rushing, no crowds, just quality experiences, chosen with care and integrity, so your time in Portugal is time well spent.

Meet the makers

At the heart of Eat Portugal are the people behind the food. From small-scale artisanal producers to contemporary chefs honouring tradition, we work with those who value quality, authenticity and passion over volume.

You’re welcomed into their worlds, gaining access to the people, places and stories that give Portuguese food its depth and character.

Eat Portugal experiences invite you to take part. You make your own pastel de nata with a master baker, or craft fresh goat’s cheese high in the Monchique mountains, guided by those who know their ingredients best.

Each experience is thoughtfully hosted and gently paced, allowing time to taste, learn and enjoy being fully present. This is culinary immersion shaped by quality, craft and place.

The one thing that unites everyone around the table is a simple love of good food. Eat Portugal experiences are not about gastronomy or being a foodie. They are about authentic, genuine moments shared over food that is made with care.

Eat Portugal is about more than food. It is about connection between travellers, makers and hosts, where culinary immersion often leads to genuine friendship.

Shared tables create lasting connections

Portuguese cuisine is often less celebrated than its neighbours in Spain or Italy, yet it is every bit as rich, generous and rooted in tradition. We believe it deserves to be better known.

After more than 20 years of travelling to Portugal, we wanted to share how special its food and people truly are. Eat Portugal exists to celebrate passion, craft and quality, and to invite others to discover just how fabulous Portuguese cuisine can be.
