Sandwich capital of the world? 🌏 If you’re planning a trip to Porto, here are 4 more sandwiches you need to try 🇵🇹🥪 Part 2 People call Porto the sandwich capital of the world, so we kept eating our way through the city to see what else we could find… and Porto definitely didn’t disappoint. If you’re wondering where to eat in Porto, add these to your list 👇 📍 Casa Guedes Tradicional @casaguedes 🥪 Roast Pork & Serra da Estrela Sheep’s Cheese Sandwich 💡 Their signature sandwich. Add the caramelised bacon for an extra layer of flavour. There are a few Casa Guedes locations, but we’d recommend the original “Casa Guedes Tradicional” for a more traditional atmosphere. 📍 Gazela @gazelacachorrinho 🥪 Cachorrinho 💡 A Porto classic made with a thin sausage, fresh sausage and melted cheese, all pressed until golden and crispy. Don’t forget the piri-piri oil. Expect a queue – it’s one of Porto’s most popular sandwich spots (get there as soon as they open for lunch). 📍 O Astro @cervejaria_o_astro 🥪 Bifana 💡 Don’t skip the piri-piri oil! We also have a dedicated bifana guide on our page if you want to try more of Porto’s best bifanas. 📍 Tasca do Luís @tascadoluis.pt 🥪 Panado Sandwich 💡 A giant crispy breaded pork cutlet served in a soft bread roll. There’s no seating, so grab your sandwich on the go or enjoy it standing at the bar. We barely scratched the surface of Porto’s incredible sandwich scene, so if you know another sandwich spot we need to try next time, let us know below 👇 📌 Save this for your Porto trip. 🗺️ Our Porto Food Map linked in our bio includes 20+ handpicked food spots, including even more sandwich recommendations, plus hidden gems and useful local tips. You’ll also get a lifetime of free updates. And we will be adding more spots soon. Check it out for your next trip. #portofood #portofoodguide #visitporto #portugaltravel #porto

It all started with one question… Where can you find the best grilled chicken in Lisbon? 🐔🇵🇹 Over two months, we made it our mission to find out. We visited 10+ different chicken spots, spoke to locals, queued with locals and tried everything from rotisserie chicken to Portugal’s traditional frango no churrasco. One thing we quickly learnt is that not all grilled chicken in Portugal is the same. While rotisserie chicken is common, traditional Portuguese grilled chicken is usually spatchcocked (butterflied) and cooked over charcoal at a churrasqueira. That flatter shape helps it cook evenly while giving it that incredible smoky flavour. If you’re looking for an authentic churrasqueira, here’s what we’d look out for 👇 🇵🇹 A lunchtime queue of locals. 🔥 Chickens cooking over charcoal, not just sitting under heat lamps. 🍗 Butterflied (spatchcocked) chickens rather than only rotisserie. 📋 A simple menu focused on grilled chicken instead of dozens of different dishes. 🌶️ And don’t forget the piri-piri oil. Traditional Portuguese grilled chicken is often served with it on the side so you can drizzle on as much (or as little!) heat as you like. We like a lot 👀 After two months (and more chicken than we’d like to admit 😂), we’ve finally ranked our favourites in this video. Would you agree with our number one? 📌 Save this for your next trip to Lisbon. #lisbonfood #grilledchicken #frangoassado #lisbontravel #lisboa

Where locals eat in Rome 🇮🇹🍝 Save this for your Rome food list 📌 If you want proper Roman food, these are 4 traditional Roman restaurants (trattorias) worth adding to your list: 1. Nuovo Mondo (Testaccio) 📍 Via Amerigo Vespucci, 9/12/15, 00153 Roma 👉 Roman-style pizza (thin + crispy) One of the best places to try pizza tonda romana – round, thin, slightly charred (very different from Neapolitan). 💡 Go early or right when they open – it fills up fast. 2. Dar Filettaro a Santa Barbara 📍 Largo dei Librari, 88, 00186 Roma 👉 Fried cod (filetti di baccalà) A Rome classic. Light, crispy batter with soft, flaky cod inside. Simple menu, done properly. 3. Da Gino al Parlamento (near Pantheon) 📍 Vicolo Rosini, 4, 00186 Roma 👉 House pasta + oxtail (coda alla vaccinara) Old-school trattoria feel. Rich, slow-cooked dishes and proper Roman comfort food. 💡 Book ahead – especially for dinner. 4. La Tavernaccia da Bruno (Trastevere) 📍 Via Giovanni da Castel Bolognese, 63, 00153 Roma 👉 Wood-oven roasted meats Very well known for the suckling pig – easily one of the best we’ve had. These are the kind of places where you slow down, eat properly, and experience Roman food beyond the tourist menus. 💡 How to spot a real trattoria in Rome: • Simple seasonal menus (often in Italian) •employees aren’t standing on the street trying to pull you in • no photos of the food on the menus • Busy with locals, especially at peak times • Slightly no-frills service – it’s about the food and the wine, not the show 👉 Follow for more Rome food guides 🇮🇹 #romefood #romefoodguide #wheretoeatinrome #romerestaurants #trattoria

We’d heard mixed things about the food here… 👀 📍 Marrakech, Morocco 🇲🇦 Some people said it was incredible, while others said they left disappointed. After spending two weeks eating our way around the city, we realised the biggest challenge wasn’t that the food wasn’t good… it was knowing where to eat. Some of our favourite meals came from tiny street food stalls we’d probably have walked straight past if we hadn’t kept digging. So if you’re planning a trip, here are the 4 spots we’d genuinely recommend in the Medina in Marrakech 👇 🌯 1. Merguez, Chicken & Kefta Sandwich 📍 Chez Omar – Derb Dabachi One of the city’s best-known sandwich shops. Order the mixed sandwich loaded with chicken, spicy merguez sausage, kefta and grilled onions, all packed into fresh bread. 💰 20 DH / €2 🥙 2. Chicken Shawarma 📍 Snack Jad – 33 Rue Tachenbacht (short walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa). Order the large with Algerian sauce. The chicken is finished on the grill, giving it crispy edges while staying juicy inside. 💰 40 DH / €3.70 🍢 3. Mixed Skewers + White Beans & Lentils 📍 Location pinned below ⬇️ This spot doesn’t really have a clear name, so we’ve pinned the exact location. The mixed skewers were some of the best we found, served with slow-cooked white beans and lentils, a classic accompaniment that’s perfect with fresh bread. 💰 90 DH / €8.45 total 📍 Coordinates: 31.6307, -7.9866 Tucked in an alley way where you’ll find other grilled skewer stands. 🍩 4. Sfenj (Moroccan donuts) 📍 Boulabads – J2H8+4M6, Rue Sidi Boulabada Morocco’s famous doughnut. Light, crispy and surprisingly savoury, so locals often have it with sugar or honey. Before eating, you’ll even see people gently squeezing it in the paper to soak up the excess oil. 💰 5 DH / €0.47 each 📌 Save this guide so you don’t have to spend your trip wondering where to eat. 🗺️ Stay tuned for our full Marrakech food map along with useful local tips to make your trip better.

WHERE LOCALS REALLY EAT 👀 🇵🇹 Most people visit Porto for the famous Francesinha… but we spent two weeks eating our way through the city to discover where locals actually eat. Along the way, locals shared some of their favourite spots with us, including our friend @pedroeovinho, who introduced us to two of these hidden gems. 1️⃣ Taberna São Pedro 📍 Afurada – traditional fishing village We ordered sardines, sea bream, clams, a squid & prawn skewer, sides, wine and coffee. A proper seafood feast for 3 came to €87.10. 💡 This ended up being one of our favourite experiences in Porto. It felt like we’d discovered a completely different side of the city. 2️⃣ Adega Vigário – right on the Douro River 🏞️ 📍 Av. Clube de Caçadores, 4420-088 S. Cosme Hidden well outside the city centre (it’s worth taking a taxi). Order the Arroz de Cabidela, a rich, comforting rooster and rice dish that’s been enjoyed in Portugal for generations. This tucked-away spot feels like a real local secret you’d never stumble across it by accident. 💡 Cash only. 3️⃣ Paraíso do Churrasco 🔥 📍 Rua do Heroísmo 50 Huge charcoal-grilled meat platters made for sharing. We couldn’t believe how soft and flavourful everything was. 💡 Cash only. Closed on Sundays. 4️⃣ Murça no Porto 📍 Rua da Alegria 44 This is the kind of place locals return to again and again. Our €12 menu included soup, a main, dessert, coffee and wine – incredible value for a homemade Portuguese meal. No frills, just proper Portuguese cooking. 💡 Closed on Sundays. ✈️ Planning a trip?

One of the most satisfying food experiences we’ve had in Istanbul. 🇹🇷 This 200kg stack of beef and lamb slowly roasts on a vertical spit before being carved layer by layer throughout the day. Watching those crispy edges being shaved away was almost as good as eating it. 📍 Tarihi Karadeniz Döner 1973 👉 If you’re planning a trip to Istanbul, Türkiye, this is one to save. We’ve got plenty more Istanbul food, kebabs, street food, breakfasts and desserts to try over the next week. #istanbul #turkey #turkıshfood #donerkebab #istanbulfood

4 Traditional Roman pasta dishes every visitor should try in Rome 🇮🇹🍝 Save this for your Italy trip 📌 Rome has 4 iconic pasta dishes – carbonara, amatriciana, gricia and cacio e pepe – and these were our favourite spots to try them 👇 1️⃣ Luciano Cucina – Carbonara 📍 @luciano_cucinaitaliana Probably our favourite carbonara in Rome. Super creamy sauce made with egg yolk and pecorino romano, topped with crispy guanciale. 100% worth the hype and popular with both tourists and locals alike. 2️⃣ Mimi e Coco – Amatriciana 📍 @mimiecocotrast One of the classic Roman pastas. Rich tomato sauce, pecorino romano and crispy guanciale. Simple but very flavourful. There are plenty of local spots with good amatriciana but this was one of our favourites. 3️⃣ La Tavernaccia – Gricia 📍 @latavernacciaroma Often called the missing link between carbonara and amatriciana. Same guanciale and pecorino, but no egg or tomato. Probably one of the most underrated Roman pasta dishes. Very local spot. 4️⃣ Pasta Imperiale – Cacio e Pepe 📍 @pastaimperialeroma This place is super unique as you get to choose the type of pasta and the sauce 🌟 Cacio e Pepe is one of the oldest & most traditional Roman pastas – just pecorino romano, black pepper and pasta water. We also tried their carbonara because it’s much cheaper than Luciano’s… but honestly, Luciano still wins 👀 📌 If you’re visiting Rome and want to try proper Roman pasta, these spots are 100% worth adding to your list 🇮🇹 #romefood #pasta #romeitaly #wheretoeat #romefoodguide

Best grilled chicken in Lisbon? 🇵🇹 Episode 5 of our hunt to find the best grilled chicken in Lisbon. 🔥 This time we tried Rio de Mel – a proper local spot known for piri-piri grilled chicken. No tourists… just locals queuing up, especially around lunchtime. 📍 Rio de Mel (takeaway only) Av. da Igreja 25D, 1700-266 Lisboa 💰 Whole chicken = €12.90 The juiciest chicken we’ve tried so far – perfectly cooked the whole way through, evenly seasoned with just the right amount of salt and super crisp skin. Honestly, we could not fault it. At the bottom there were loads of juices mixed in with piri piri oil… we threw the rice in to soak it all up 🤤 💡 Tip: long queues around lunchtime so go late morning or later in the afternoon.

After 3 weeks in Athens, these are the 3 local spots worth saving for your trip 📌 🇬🇷 If you want to eat somewhere that feels more neighbourhood than touristy, start with these 👇 1. TO MARKOPOULO 📍 Servion 2 & Serron 41, Kolonos 🍽️ No normal menu – you head into the kitchen and choose from whatever has been cooked that day. We asked the lady to choose for us – from slow-cooked beef to meatballs and beans, everything was so hearty and comforting. This place was full of so much soul. 💶 €29 total for two 💡 Tip: go with an open mind rather than looking for a specific dish, what’s available changes depending on what they’ve cooked that day. 2. To Steki tou Ilia 📍 Thessalonikis 7, Athens 🍽️ 1kg charcoal-grilled lamb chops €42 + fries €4 💡 Tip: the lamb chops are ordered by weight, so great for sharing. Some of the best lamb chops we’ve ever had! We do recommend booking as they get quite busy over lunch times especially over the weekends. 3. Ouzeri Lesvos – iconic! 📍 Emmanouil Benaki 38, Exarchia 🍽️ Fried anchovies €9, fried hake with aioli €13 + shrimp €18 🥃 Ouzo – sip alongside mezze (the local way) 💶 €56.50 total for two 💡 Tip: this is the kind of place to order a few seafood plates for the table, get some ouzo and take your time rather than ordering one main each. Such a great spot! Save this for your Athens trip 📌 👉 And if you’re collecting loads of food spots for a trip, import this Reel into TripSpire and it’ll organise the places into one trip so you can easily find them again and open them in Google Maps. 🔗 @TripSpire: Save & Plan Trips is linked in our bio.
