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.
