This experience has been one of the best things I did during my stay in Lisbon. I am solo-traveling and can recommend this to anyone who would like to have... read more a Portuguese food experience and getting in contact with new people. Matheus and Marco are making you feel “at home” from the second you enter the building till saying goodbye. Matheus is an excellent Chef and you can really feel the passion when he is guiding you through the menu. Thank you so much, I will definitely come back!

  We had a lovely evening! Mateus and his brother put together a joy filled experience from start to finish. The space was wonderful, and the food was delicious. Mateus went... read more above and beyond to accommodate the variety of dietary restrictions amongst the group (vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten free, and allergies). Highly recommend for a unique experience.

  My friend went to Portugal a few weeks before me and recommended this dinner experience and I am SO glad I booked it for my two gal pals and I... read more on our first evening in Lisbon.
The event room in the hostel was delightful. Mateus and Marcos greeted us warmly and showed us to our seats. We were seated next to different parties and were welcomed with a white port cocktail which was absolutely delightful. The table setting was very nice and I really loved how the starters were already placed on the table. I loved the bread and butter. The bread was homemade and warm. Then Mateus welcomes everyone and explained every course. They give everyone time to eat each course and talk with each other. The meals change so I am not going into detail into my meal as yours will likely be different.
M&M share their life story with us and how they came to Portugal and cooking career. It’s so meaningful to see someone live out their dream and be able to take part in the journey. The care, presentation, food, and hospitality are all important to Mateus and Marcos.
If you’re concerned about the dinner being hosted at a hostel, don’t be. It’s a lovely room with great ambience. There are two large tables. Ours had 10 and the other was similar.
We surprised my friend with a little birthday treat and M&M were so wonderful about including that at the end of the dinner with song and candles!
We definitely recommend this experience if you want an unforgettable evening going on a tour of Portuguese cuisine without all the walking. 😉

  What an unexpected and unique way to spend an evening in Lisbon. Don’t let the location fool you, this is an elegant and thoughtful dinner expertly prepared with love. Mateus... read more and his brother prepare and serve in a Hostel, but it’s quaint, clean, and comfortable. And dare I say, elegant! It’s multiple courses, with beverages. A great value! Also, you sit with others, which makes it extra special. We had lively conversation all evening. So fun. I highly recommend you spend a magical evening with Mates!

  Everything was delicious and well thought out. If we have any friends or family heading to lisbon I will highly recommend this experience to them.

  Lovely dining experience and excellent value for money. Mateus and Marcos are great hosts and clearly love what they do. They made us feel welcome and cared for. Besides being... read more a great cook, Marcos takes his time to create a thoughtful menu using super fresh produce. This is comfort food at its best, Portuguese with a hint of Brazilian, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone and everyone visiting Lisbon.
