The Green Side of Lisbon — Where Local Flavor Meets a Vegetarian Soul

Nadine Braehmer • November 15, 2025

Lisbon may be famous for sardines and seafood, but there’s a new story simmering in the kitchens of Baixa.


Our Vegetarian Food Tour takes you beyond the clichés — into the same authentic tascas, family-run bakeries, and historic alleys locals love, with dishes reimagined for modern, mindful travelers.

This isn’t a trend. It’s Lisbon’s true flavor, told through the city’s most creative vegetarian plates.


Led by Foodprint’s passionate local guides, you’ll eat like a Lisboeta — just greener.

🥔 What You’ll Taste on Our Vegetarian Food Tour

🔥 Piri-Piri Potatoes & Grilled Vegetables
The spice and soul of Lisbon, without the chicken — proof that flavor doesn’t need meat.


🍷 Ginjinha
Lisbon’s cherry liqueur, sweet and aromatic, served in a hidden tavern that’s been pouring it for generations.


🥧 Queijadas & Travesseiros
Traditional pastries with creamy cheese and almond filling — flaky, golden perfection.


🥣 Caldo Verde Soup (without Chouriço)
Portugal’s most famous soup, made lighter but just as comforting.


🧀 Cheese & Olive Platters
Simple, rustic, and deeply local — the flavors of Portugal in every bite.


🥪 Vegetarian Bifana
The iconic sandwich reinvented with mushrooms or soy — juicy, garlicky, and unforgettable.


🍮 Pastel de Nata
Still the star of the show — warm, creamy, and made right where it’s served.
