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.

Jijo2025-04-03 Isa’s food tour was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was thoughtfully curated, perfectly paired with wine or beer, and came with a captivating story that brought the experience to life. Isa gave us the time to truly savor every bite, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the flavors and appreciate the craftsmanship behind each plate.What made the tour truly special was how Isa laced each tasting with snippets of local history—sharing stories about the streets, architecture, people, and even the nation itself. We didn’t just taste Porto; we felt it. We hopped to 12-13 different locations, and every single one offered a unique and delicious experience.Isa also made space for cultural exchange, and we loved chatting about our own food traditions while learning more about Portugal’s rich culinary heritage. We really appreciated how she emphasizes supporting local producers and merchants through her tours—such a thoughtful and impactful touch.Thank you Isa for an incredible day!

There’s no way I could have tried so many different foods (or even have known to try them) by myself.The tour was so well prepared - Isa kept us moving along at a comfortable pace, I felt that the shops that we visited were all well prepared for us and food came immediately. I think we have to thank Isa for great communication behind the scenes. Isa was so calm and knowledgeable . We passed by some famous monuments too which kept the walk interesting. Overall, I highly recommend this tour! Katie2025-03-11 Isa curated a wonderful tour filled with great information and even greater food!
