Why take this tour?

Moved by a passion of food and history we decided to combine both and make our guests even more happy! This tour takes us around Angra do Heroísmo, the first World Heritage Town in Portugal and also the already capital of Portugal for two different times. It's not just sightseeing and learning, it's also understanding why food is a big part of our day to day life and how it affects us. First, we will start by having an amazing breakfast with some of our incredible pastry, joined by some good coffee. We will also try our famous Portuguese Cherry Liqueur and understand why it's such a beloved beverage by all of us. Finally we'll have our famous Alcatra, a pot roast stew, but this time the Fish version! If you happen to don't like fish please let us know in advance and we'll ask for the beef.

What’s included?

  • We are starting our tour with a taste of Terceira Island pastry and understand why the Portuguese Navigators and their spice route had such a big influence on our gastronomy.

  • We're trying our famous Portuguese Cherry Liqueur, a drink as old as the 12th century.

  • We are having our famous Alcatra but this time the Fish version! Please notice the biggest part of Portuguese fish dishes are served with bones.
