Lisbon’s markets, like Mercado da Ribeira, showcase local produce, cheeses, and wines from across Portugal. The city also has a growing modern dining scene, with chefs reinterpreting Portuguese classics in contemporary ways. Affordable yet rich in flavor, Lisbon is one of Europe’s most rewarding food destinations.
