Wine & Dine

As part of the so-called Mediterranean Diet Region, traditional Portuguese food is healthy and simple using as a base ingredients like olive oil, onions, garlic and tomatoes which could be easily obtained by a population of small farmers and fishermen.

Although much has changed in habits and social means, and innovative restaurants are to be found side by side with small cafés, Portuguese cuisine remains very much attached to genuine local products: bread, meat and fish with na emphasis on simple aromatic seasonings like, bay leaves, cilantro, garlic and mild sweet paprika.

Portuguese cuisine varies widely from one region to the other, but QUASAR can arrange for you a tour where you will have the opportunity of savouring the most famous dishes while tasting excellent local wines.
