While it may not be possible to travel abroad these days, we offer an alternative solution: join MOFAD and internationally acclaimed global food tour company Culinary Backstreets for an online guided tour of Lisbon, bite by bite.

Join Célia Pedroso, Culinary Backstreets’s Lisbon Bureau Chief, for a virtual guided tour of some of the Portuguese capital’s most intriguing neighborhoods and their classic food shops and producers. As Celia walks us through some of her favorite places, we’ll explore how these classic spots help stock the Portuguese pantry, tasting exquisite staples, snacks and sweets and learning about the fascinating history of Lisbon’s neighborhood culinary culture and how it’s faring during these difficult times.

We are no longer selling A Taste of Lisbon boxes with tickets, but you can still order them directly from Culinary Backstreets HERE.

 *Please note this event is from 6-7pm ET and will be held over zoom.
