About this tour
This session moves between small bars in the Baixa and Cedofeita, the kind of petiscos crawl locals do on an ordinary evening. The camera takes in pica-pau, gizzards and alheira sausage at the first stop, glasses of vinho verde at the second, and tripas à moda do Porto and caldo verde at the last. It traces an evening of small plates rather than one sit-down meal.
After a sound check, the guide moves bar to bar in order, describing each dish and pour as the camera reaches it, with questions taken along the way. A short list of the bars and dishes named is sent once the call wraps up.
This suits anyone curious about Porto's bar culture and small-plate food, whether planning an evening there or missing one already had.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city
