Description

Join The Table for a relaxed small-group food tour through the heart of Lagos, where traditional Portuguese food, local stories and the culture of the Algarve come together. You’re not simply coming to eat Portuguese food. You’re coming to discover the stories and traditions behind it.  We’ll visit 4 carefully selected local restaurants and food spots, tasting around 10 traditional Portuguese dishes, paired with drinks. Expect rich, savoury canned fish, fresh seafood and grilled fish, traditional sweets made from figs, almonds and eggs, and the distinctive flavours of Algarve oranges, honey and local jams — paired with Portuguese wine, cold beer and a taste of Port. As we move through Lagos, your host will share the stories behind the dishes, the traditional local ingredients and the places you visit. You’ll learn how the Algarve’s relationship with the sea, its fishing traditions, local agriculture and centuries of Portuguese history have shaped the food on your plate. This is not a rushed food crawl or a list of tourist stops. It’s an opportunity to slow down, eat well and experience Lagos through the people, places and traditions that give the city its character. Come hungry. Leave with stories.
