A Taste of Inspiration to Make Your Day

About ME

Food is not rational.
Food is culture, habit, craving, and identity.

Hello, I’m Isabel! I’m a passionate food enthusiast. My background is in Tourism, and I’ve always worked paring wines and foods. So, I want to share with you some of my favorite places to eat authentic local traditional food.

I truly believe that you don’t know a place until you’ve tasted their cuisine because food is an essential part of a country’s culture.

What better way to explore Porto than through its culinary delights? Whether you’re a food enthusiast or an adventurous traveler, this gastronomic journey will tantalize your senses!

People who love to eat
are always the best people.

   We had the most incredible time with Isa. She took us to so many local spots where we had amazing Portuguese foods and wines. It was so fun to learn about Porto culture and history from Isa, she is so knowledgeable! Highly highly recommend booking this tour - it was the best food tour we’ve done across multiple countries!

   Isa is an incredible guide. She was personable and shared so much about the culture in Porto. We experienced a number of the local eateries and learned much about the history and traditions of many dishes that Portugal has to offer. She introduced us to a number of vendors that we will certainly go back to during our stay. Also she was able to give us guidance on where and what to do for a day trip to the Duomo Valley. We would highly recommend starting your trip to Porto with the Eat like a local tour. You’ll be glad you did.

   It was a wonderful and varied experience. Isa is a fully engaged and knowledgeable guide. She took us to some places that we might easily miss or never be lucky enough to find. We really did eat like a local and I'm so glad to have shared this tasty and interesting experience. Thank you Isa for all the care and consideration you put into this tour. It is much appreciated.

   Our family had the most amazing time on this tour. You really feel like you are a local going to hidden gems through the city and trying different foods and drinks. The tour also takes you past so many of the popular spots where you want to take photos. We have taken many food tours before but this is the first time we legitimately left with gift bags of things we bought from vendors Isa introduced for us to take home to family and friends. 💗

   Excellent food tour with a very knowledgable guide - would highly recommend! The food was plentiful, interesting & the guide took us to places you wouldn’t find if you were walking around the city alone. The walking was far from excessive - the tour was very manageable.

   As someone who is Portuguese, Isa really took a lot of care and thought into this tour. I can’t fault it at all. Such a nice pace, great food and port and felt very relaxed. I would recommend to any one that wants a local take on Portuguese food and culture.
