Savoring Togetherness

At FoodiesLX, we believe that food is more than just a meal—it’s a gateway to friendship, culture, and adventure. What drives us isn’t just discovering great flavors, but the joy of sharing them with others, forging genuine connections around the table. We thrive on the energy of our community: passionate locals and expats who bring diverse tastes, curiosity, and a love for Lisbon’s ever-evolving culinary scene.

We’re not only about finding the city’s best dishes but also about exploring what brings people together—whether it’s a cozy dinner, a lively market tour, or a night of karaoke and cocktails. Our community is a blend of food, fun, and friendship, united by a common love for experiences that are as vibrant as the people who make them.

Join us as we continue to explore, taste, and thrive—together!

MEET THE FOUNDERS

FoodiesLX began as a simple WhatsApp group with a clear and genuine goal: make friends and share a love for food. Founded by Ana Romero Monteiro, a Lisbon native and designer, and Janet, an American expat who has made Lisbon her home, FoodiesLX quickly grew into something bigger than either could have imagined.

Ana, with her eye for creativity and deep connection to Lisbon’s culture, joined forces with Janet’s passion for exploring the city through food and creating community in a new country. Together, they created a space where locals and expats could gather, discover new spots, and forge friendships over shared meals and unique experiences.

What began as casual dinners among friends has blossomed into a vibrant, welcoming community—one that celebrates food, connection, and the diverse flavors of Lisbon. FoodiesLX continues to grow, fueled by Ana and Janet’s founding vision of bringing people together, one meal at a time.

Join us and be part of the flavor, the friendship, and the adventure!
