Lisbon’s heartbeat grows louder as dusk settles over Praça da Alegria, a vibrant square at the city’s core. Here, We Hate Tourism Tours invites adventurers to sink their teeth into a unique evening adventure: DINNER WITH US | Belém Night. This four-hour experience combines a savory plunge into authentic Portuguese cuisine with an energizing nighttime drive through the city’s glowing streets—an ideal way to taste the city beyond the usual tourist routes.
The journey begins at Praça da Alegria, located in central Lisbon, famous for its elegant plazas and lively atmosphere. Guests gather to be whisked away to a traditional local restaurant celebrated for its genuine flavors and welcoming vibe. This is no ordinary dinner—each dish highlights Lisbon’s culinary identity, from fresh seafood caught off the Atlantic coast to rich stews and perfectly aged cheeses. A curated selection of Portuguese wines accompanies the meal, introducing guests to the country’s renowned vineyards.
Between courses, local guides share insights into Lisbon’s food culture and nightlife scene, painting a vivid picture of how these elements weave into the city’s daily rhythm. This storytelling connects visitors with the authentic Lisbon experience, fostering a deeper appreciation of its social and gastronomic traditions.
After the final sip, the adventure continues with a spirited nighttime driving tour. The vehicle carves through historic neighborhoods illuminated by amber street lamps and the golden glow of tiled facades. As the city lights reflect off the Tagus River, riders glimpse landmarks from a new angle, away from crowded walking tours.
