Portuguese food, served by the people who grew up with it
SaborAExperience takes visitors to the tables where Portuguese food is still cooked the old way: the tasca with six tables, the fado house where the cook also sings, the smokehouse where alheira hangs over oak, the cellar where the winemaker pours.
We work with family restaurants, small producers and local guides in Lisboa, Porto, Sintra, the Setúbal Peninsula, Leiria, Coimbra, Bairrada, Aveiro, Nazaré, Óbidos, Évora, Trás-os-Montes and the Douro.
Questions
Can I book a private experience?
Yes. Every experience can be private for groups up to 12: your own guide, your own table and a flexible start time. Choose "Make it private" when you book.
How do group prices work?
Prices go down at 6 people and again at 13 people booked together, for every guest. For 31 to 200 people we send a custom quote within 24 hours.
Can large groups stay together?
Yes. We split the group into tables of up to 12, each with a guide, and bring everyone together for the main meal or the fado show.
Is wine included?
Yes, each experience includes the drinks listed. Non-alcoholic drinks are always available.
Can children join?
Children from 6 are welcome on food walks, classes and lunches. Wine tastings are for guests aged 18 and over.
What about allergies and vegetarians?
Tell us when you book. Most tastings have vegetarian versions, and we plan around allergies with each restaurant.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancel up to 48 hours before the start for a full refund. Later cancellations are not refunded, but you can move the date once.
Do you issue invoices for companies?
Yes, with your company name and VAT number. Group bookings can pay by bank transfer.
