![]() We wanted to know more about Portuguese wine and these guys suggested some great choices with us, along side local charcuterie and cheeses. The walls are lined with wine and the waiters have a great knowledge so do not be afraid to ask them for help or advice. We happened upon a place called Grapes and Bites which is a wine bar and restaurant. There are so many great places to eat to try the local produce. We always make sure we stock up on pastel de nata before we leave so we can take a little bit of Lisbon home with us – assuming they last the flight. It has gluten free bread, cakes and pastries. ![]() Oh yes! We headed down there after the tour and got a couple… and a couple for later. We did not miss out completely on Pastel de Nata, as Lisbon has a fabulous gluten free bakery that has gluten free custard tarts. So much food on our Lisbon Food walking tour This was a fab walking tour that was a highlight and great way to spend time in Lisbon. We had to miss out on this as its gluten filled delight, but that was ok. ![]() Starting with port tasting we swiftly moved onto beer ( well coffee for us gluten free folk), onto a traditional cod lunch with chickpeas, then onto charcuterie and cheese with some fine wine in a secret spot. Eating at local places and traditional food, this was a great way to see bits of Lisbon you wouldn’t normally happen upon. Exploring the Mouraria neighborhood of Lisbon with our excellent guide we explored the lesser seen parts of the city. We went on the Secret Lisbon Food Tour which was such fun. We always make sure we do a food tour when visiting a new city so we can get to see as much as possible and try food and places we wouldn’t normally maybe see. No trip to Lisbon is complete without a food tour. This is an always must visit place for great food in a relaxed atmosphere, and amazing cocktails. Its fresh, traditional food with a modern twist. The second time we went I made sure to book a table in advance. We were lucky to get a table as it was packed. ![]() It was Pharmacia! A great restaurant located inside a Pharmacy Museum. On our first trip to Lisbon we went a wandering and headed up a hill and wondered what was going on in the place with lots of people drinking on a patio. We came across it purely by accident the first time. My favourite place in Lisbon is Pharmacia. O Surf & Turf delicious food at O Surf & Turf The food was fresh, smart and oh so very delicious. From the small menu we picked 3 plates to try. All the food was being freshly made, one chef was cleaning and prepping a full octopus in front of us. We sat around a bar that looked onto the small but super efficient kitchen. This was the delicious Surf n Turf by Kiko Martins. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted a small set up just off to the side of the main area and two people were just leaving. Our most notable visit was our first day ever in Lisbon, and our first meal. Yes compared to other places in Lisbon it is expensive but by London prices its pretty cheap. Most people in Lisbon will tell you its too expensive and full of tourists. Now I know this is a tourist hot spot but its a great source of food and wine. One of the places that is highly popular with tourists is the Time Out Market. Food and drink is also really well priced so you can eat really well for a lot less than in London. We both love seafood and Lisbon is perfect for this. Tapas style dining is also another option as you just pick the items without gluten. There are lots of gluten free friendly places. Lisbon makes it super easy for the gluten free life though. Obviously being gluten free does put a slight cog in the works as trips always take a little bit of planning to make sure there are places for us to eat, but that is part of the fun. The food is amazing.īoth our visits have ended up revolving around meals and food, attempting to try as much as we can. Lisbon is just relaxed, its easy and the food, oh the food. We have been twice now and would easily go back again. One place that me and Mr Life London Food love is Lisbon. While I cannot travel I have been thinking more about travel and the destinations that I love.
