New place to stayNewSavor Lisbon’s women-led gastronomy at Campo de Ourique
Meet some of the women shaping the Lisbon food scene’s culinary traditions, sustainability efforts, and future innovations. You’ll speak with female entrepreneurs in Lisbon’s Campo de Ourique neighborhood, who run everything from market stalls to restaurant kitchens.
• We’ll begin at Mercado de Campo de Ourique with a warm welcome. Inside the market, you’ll meet female fishmongers, explore the day’s freshest seafood, and learn about the seasonality of Portugal’s coastal catch —from the celebrated spring-to-autumn sardine season to that of lesser-known delicacies.
• Next, we’ll visit two female-owned specialty shops dedicated to locally sourced ingredients like organic fresh produce and organic, in bulk spices, infusions, and all things sustainability — Do Campo a Ourique and Maria Granel.
• Taste the flavors of Portugal through Chef Margarida Dias's hands, who will transform fresh market finds into exquisite dishes at Bicho Mau restaurant, while chatting about the evolving role of women in gastronomy over a glass of wine, women-produced, of course!
• Before you go, I’ll share the women-led culinary businesses in Lisbon that you need to know. If you want to stay longer, there are hidden gems in the neighbourhood we can keep exploring!
This experience isn’t just about savoring food, it’s also about connecting with the women who bring it to life, from the sea to the kitchen.
