For the love of food, culture and Portugal
Our goal is to provide relevant and engaging information about Portuguese food from a cultural angle. Creating content that helps to explain the context. To build a global community of like-minded people – the ‘gastronautas’ – that have in common the love of food, culture, and Portugal.

Um projeto português… para o Mundo!
Este projeto tem como objetivo construir uma comunidade global de amantes da Cultura Gastronómica portuguesa: os Gastronautas. Interessa-nos a valorização e defesa de aspetos da nossa cultura que estão em via de extinção, como mercados tradicionais, pequenos restaurantes familiares e a produção agrícola não industrial. Os conteúdos originais podem ser escritos em inglês ou em português, de acordo com a vontade do seu autor.
The Gastronauta Quizzes
Test your knowledge and learn in the process.
Our quizzes are simple: 10 questions on a theme about Portuguese Gastronomic Culture. We will publish new quizzes as go along, on different subjects with the aim to engage and inform our community of Gastronautas. If you have any suggestions, please let us know. In English and Portuguese.
Comida Portuguesa “à Séria”
Queremos a sua recomendação sobre estabelecimentos de comida simples, local e tradicional.
Estamos a fazer um levantamento de espaços de restauração que merecem ser mencionados num futuro guia dos Gastronautas a que, para já, chamamos de “Comida Portuguesa à Séria”. O objetivo é valorizar e homenagear as pessoas que pelo país fora contribuem para preservar a cultura gastronómica de Portugal. São embaixadores de ingredientes genuínos e locais; de saberes que foram sendo passados de geração para geração.
Editorial notes
-
Both English and Portuguese. Our aim is to bring our non-Portuguese speaking audiences closer to our culture, so we will use Portuguese names, terms and expressions as much as possible. Some content, i.e. blog posts, will be in Portuguese.
-
We write about issues that we believe are interesting and relevant to our audience. We research and fact-check any informative matter, but we reserve the right to have a subjective and personal view on the themes we address.
-
All texts are written by our Founders or guest writers. Our editorial style is based on our principles of honesty, respect and humour. If don’t take ourselves very seriously, we certainly take our work and readers very seriously indeed.
-
We always look for images that are real, honest, and connected to our experience. We take all the photos used on this website, unless otherwise stated. We do our own image and video editing and post-production.
