Portuguese Food Tour - FULL DAY of Eating in Lisbon, Portugal!

On Day 27 in Lisbon, Portugal, I made up my mind to eat as much Portuguese food and at some of the best local restaurants in Lisbon. It turned out to be a fantastic day in Lisbon with some seriously good Portuguese food!

00:36 Cafe Martinho Da Arcada at Praça do Comércio - The first place we stopped in the morning is a legendary cafe in Lisbon that is the oldest cafe in Lisbon called Cafe Martinho Da Arcada. The main reason I wanted to go there was to try their pastéis de bacalhau, classic Portuguese food codfish fritters. The coffee and ambience and of the cafe was also nice. Total price - 9.30 EUR

Restaurante Zé da Mouraria (I think it was closed for holidays) - I really wanted to eat at this restaurant during my visit to Lisbon, but unfortunately they were closed for holidays, so if you go to Lisbon and are looking for local Portuguese food, check this place out.

5:32 Restaurante Cantinho do Aziz - For our next meal, although not Portuguese food, but more Mozambican food, we headed over to Restaurante Cantinho do Aziz. The food was remarkable, one of the best meals I had in Lisbon. I first began with some beef samosas which were insanely good, and then had spicy bakra piri piri, spicy lamb ribs. Total price - 35.00 EUR

11:14 Restaurante A Merendinha do Arco - Finally, to try some authentic Portuguese food in Lisbon, we headed over to a restaurant called Restaurante A Merendinha do Arco. This small family run restaurant serves delicious Portuguese food and many of the classics. I ordered bacalhau com grão, codfish with garbanzo beans and carne de porco à alentejana, pork with clams. Along with the delicious local food, what I loved was the ambiance and feel of the restaurant. Total price - 20.15 EUR

22:10 Oceanário de Lisboa (Entrance price - 17 EUR per person) - By this point on this Portuguese food tour of Lisbon, I was feeling pretty full, so we headed over to Oceanário de Lisboa and walked around one of Europe’s biggest aquariums.

24:22 Cafe on Avenida da Liberdade (Coffee - 1.40 EUR) - One of the things I love about Lisbon is the social cafe culture and atmosphere. In the afternoon I was starting to feel pretty sleepy, so before dinner, I had a cup of coffee at an outdoor cafe along Avenida.

25:12 Solar dos Presuntos - For the last Portuguese meal in on this food tour of restaurants in Lisbon, I decided to eat at a restaurants called Solar dos Presuntos. I didn’t know it was going to be such a fancy high end restaurant, but it was our last night in Lisbon, so we decided to go for it. I started with the pata negra, a plate of incredibly good ham. Then I ordered the polvo à lagareiro, some of the most tender octopus I’ve ever had in my life. Finally we also ordered dourada grelhada - gilt-head sea bream fish. The food was expensive, but delicious. Total price - 60.85 EUR.

This was a fantastic day of Portuguese food in Lisbon, and many of the places we ate today were the best restaurants I tried in Lisbon.

Your facial expressions when eating are legendary. Having worked in over 70 countries and tried all their cuisines I can honestly say very few come close to Portuguese food. Not only is it extremely healthy but you can eat it everyday without feeling bloated. The Portuguese are very spoiled when it comes to food..

[mellinnaleysa]

I love Portuguese People still learning Portuguese Language Boa Noite Portuguese love From Philippines🇵🇭😍

[sahbia]

Shout out to the gentlemen sitting next to Mark, teaching him about Portuguese food. He's the real MVP.

[Slynn]

I will never understand why I still watch your videos on an empty stomach. WHY.

[UltimateMoralizer]

Portugal is such a beautiful country ... and Portuguese food is out of this world! Love it!

[yellowbird]

Eating at restaurants with communal tables as a tourist in a foreign country has always been a great experience. The locals are always friendly and eager to help tourists with the menu, make suggestions etc. It always enhances the experience to know what to order and how to eat it.

[scandisnowgirl]

I am so amazed at how friendly and welcoming the Portuguese people are to visitors! Amazing people 💗💗💗

Mark, Thank you for showing everyone our food and our city

Many youtubers speak fastly so lots of people who are not really good at English like me sometimes get hard to follow and understand all what they say, but Mark is not. He knows how to keep the presentation at a medium speed so that watchers can afford to get it easily.

Thank you for bringing Portugal to us, what a beautiful sight, and the locals seem to be a lovely people.

The man who was sitting by your side at the restaurant teaching you how to eat the cod fish is one of the best researchers and college professors of Lisbon :O

Fui a Portugal uma vez somente. É impossível comer mal neste país, a comida é fantástica em todo canto

[MrGilRoland]

Mad respect for Portugal, and Lisboa in particular, homeland of the giant of the mind Fernando Pessoa. Cheers from Italy, I hope I can visit Rua dos douradores and the Café A Brasileira one day.

Im doing my family tree, and found out that while i always knew my grandma on my dad's side is mexican, i just found out my grandad, Frank, his parents are from Portugal. So im learning about Portugal😊 and the food (I LOVE foreign cuisine, and i always found the best way to learn about a culture is by its food -- thats how I came to love Ethiopian cuisine)😀💖 That said, your ebthusiasm makes me want to get my passport and make a spontaneous trip to Portugal😀

As a Korean, watching this video made me want to visit Portugal wholeheartedly

[afcw]

For a full three and a half years straight, Septembro 1978 until 16 Marco 1982, I ate Portuguese food in dozens of restaurants all over Lisboa and at Monte Gordo, Algarve. Amo
os Portugueses. Saudacoes, felicidades. I lived in a pensao, and two campismos, the Lisboa municipal Monsanto with city bus service, and the camping at Monte Gordo near Spain. Viva o Portugal. Deus vos abencoe.

[lucafigueiredo]

This just makes me feel so proud to be Portuguese

I lived in Lisboa in 2011/2012. Esta video me lembras de todas de cozinha maravilhosa. So glad you enjoyed yourself, Mark! And yes -- the coffee is so underrated! My Portuguese ex-husband used to say there were three things Portuguese worshipped: coffee, football, and beer, and not in that order.
