‘The Flavours of Lisbon by Time Out and P&O Cruises,’ available to adults only, will begin with a walking tour through Baixa and include the photo-worthy Pink Street. Together with local chef Miguel Mesquita, passengers will then visit Time Out Market – which shares the building with a centuries-old traditional food market – to discover its history, while shopping for all the ingredients needed for a cooking class.
Culinary school
At the Time Out Academy, the cooking school of Time Out Market Lisbon, passengers will learn to prepare authentic local dishes before sitting down to dine on the food.
Mesquita, executive chef of the Time Out Academy and a participant of MasterChef Portugal, leads the cooking class. He is the winner of local cooking show ‘Guerra dos Pratos’ and has gained experience in Michelin star restaurants.
Unique and authentic
P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said, ‘Time Out has been uncovering the best of cities for decades and as our exclusive exploration partner, we’re so excited that P&O Cruises guests visiting Lisbon will get the opportunity to have a truly unique, authentic, culinary experience – created and curated by Time Out experts.’
