We start facing the ocean with something sweet, then walk the docks before the eating really begins: fresh shellfish at a working seafood shop, the best petiscos at a fishermen's tasco in the Ribeira, and two historic family bakeries for the sweet finish. Eight to ten tastings in total, paired with three regional wines including Vinho Verde — and the story of the city all the way through. Small groups of eight maximum.
