Mateus and Marcos were great. Mateus was able to modify my meals to account for my Celiac disease (Gluten Free). I was able to enjoy the food with the other... read more guests and still have a true Portuguese food experience. My partner and I always try to do food tours when travelling and this was may far my favourite experience we have done. All the dishes tasted amazing and I’m still surprised I loved the octopus salad when I usually don’t enjoy octopus! I would highly suggest this experience to anyone coming to Lisbon!

  This was probably one of the best experiences I have had traveling solo. I signed up for this my first night in Lisbon and it was a great start... read more to my trip, as it gave me the chance to meet a few other travelers in the area, which ultimately resulted in me having friends for the rest of my trip and going forward. The food that was provided was delicious and you could tell how much time, effort, and passion was put into each dish as it was presented to the table. Many travel experiences can feel half hearted and just a space filler, but this experience was truly special to me. It has inspired me to find similar experiences to this in other countries, and to schedule my trips around doing something similar to this on future trips.
Can not recommend doing this your first night here more. Worth every penny, just book it now.

  It was a very good experience. It felt like mixing a luxury restaurant with a family dinner. Very good meals and wines and perfect hosts. There was something art movie-like,... read more where I was the protaginist (or who knows who was the protagonist). If I come to Lisbon again, I’ll definitely come back. I absolutely recommend it to everyone.

  When we travel, we love to find local/support local/experience local. This offered us all three. We felt a warm welcome from the moment of booking until our final farewell.
