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 amazing experience. Absolutely incredible food and two lovely hosts.
Thought, creativity and surprising flavors were added to every single component of the menu.
When the butter is a talking point... read more you have high hopes for the rest of the meal. It delivered in every area. Delicious bread, olives, cheese, jam left us in heaven before the main dishes were served.
Each dish was incredible, plated beautifully and creatively and described wonderfully by Mateus.
I don't drink alcohol and was served a delicious blueberry and orange juice instead which was amazing.
An amazing, homely setting which is relaxed and charming provided the back drop to culinary excellence.
If you are wondering whether to do this my advice is to make it a must do part of any trip to Lisbon. This was a massive highlight of our trip.
Thank you Mateus and Marco and our other companions for the evening for making it a night to remember.

The food was incredible,... read more the service outstanding and we really appreciated the intimate venue and all the explanations Mateus gave us about the food. We highly recommend it!
