Timothy Mitchell
Instead of guessing where to eat, we were taken straight to three amazing local spots in the Baixa District. The petiscos were delicious, and trying Portuguese specialties like presunto was a highlight. The drinks were equally fantastic. Our guide was engaging and full of great insights about Lisbon’s food culture.
