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.

  It was absolutely divine. Every dish was amazing, the setting beautiful and the hosts very gracious. This was our best experience in Portugal hands down.

  Amazing meal and experience. Mateus was unbelievably accommodating of any and all dietary restrictions which was very much appreciated (no egg, no gluten, etc). Can't recommend enough taking an evening... read more to have this meal with them.

  Beautiful experience! I was tired and a bit cranky the day of the experience but the food and great company and hospitality made my whole day better. The attention to... read more detail, presentation, and flavors were all amazing and every course tasted exquisite. Mateus and his brother were so warm and kind, and I was lucky to sit with other interesting, friendly travelers. Thank you for such a lovely experience!

  We had a great time meeting new friends in Lisbon, taken care of by the lovely twins, eating some great homemade portuguese food! Thank you so much!

  Mateus and his brother did a great job by making a 3-hour dinner fun and engaging. It was the best meal experience in Lisboa for us. The guests, location, setup,... read more service and most of all the food and drinks were amazing. I will definitely do it again when I come back to Lisbon.

  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. 😉
