Lisbon Food Affair Lisbon

The Lisbon Food Affair is a specialized trade fair and has established itself as Portugal’s leading platform for the food, beverage, gastronomy, and food technology sectors. Its name stands for a three-part exhibition concept encompassing the areas of Food & Beverage, Horeca, and Technology. The event is held at the renowned exhibition center Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL) in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, where it takes place at irregular intervals.

Organized by Feira Internacional de Lisboa, the Lisbon Food Affair sees itself not merely as a product showcase, but as a central industry platform. It offers professionals the opportunity to tap into the Portuguese market, explore business opportunities, and establish international connections. The fair actively promotes exchange between local producers and international partners and targets trade visitors from the fields of retail, gastronomy, hospitality, manufacturing, and technology, who are keen to stay informed about current developments and trends.

The spotlight is on three closely interlinked thematic areas: Food & Beverage, featuring a diverse range of products – from olive oil, fish, meat, dairy, and canned goods to innovations in food development; Horeca, focusing on equipment, design, technology, and services for the gastronomy, hospitality, and catering sectors; and Technology, showcasing cutting-edge machinery, equipment, packaging solutions, refrigeration systems, quality control technologies, laboratory services, and logistics solutions tailored for the food industry.

The Lisbon Food Affair not only offers direct access to the Portuguese market but also holds a unique position within the country. As the only trade fair of its kind, it brings together the entire value chain of the sector under one roof. It is particularly attractive to international companies seeking to use Portugal as a gateway to Southern European or Portuguese-speaking markets.

A key component of the fair is its wide-ranging supporting program. Live cooking shows with renowned chefs, themed workshops, expert conferences, networking events, and business meetings turn the trade fair into a dynamic platform for exchange, product presentation, and direct business deals.

Exhibitors include companies from the food and beverage production sector, mechanical and plant engineering, gastronomy and hospitality equipment, technology and software, as well as consulting services. Visitors primarily consist of industry professionals specifically seeking new products, innovative solutions, and business partners.

The venue, located in the modern Parque das Nações district, lies directly on the banks of the River Tagus and is easily accessible by public transport and via Lisbon’s international airport, which is just a few minutes away. The surrounding area also offers numerous gastronomic and cultural attractions – the perfect setting for a trade fair that unites culinary excellence, advanced technology, and high-level business networking.

The Lisbon Food Affair will take place on 3 days from Monday, 09. February to Wednesday, 11. February 2026 in Lisbon.
