  Simply one of the best meals I’ve ever had—each and every course was exquisite! I’d highly recommend this experience; it was the perfect end to my trip. Mateus and Marcos... read more walked us through each dish, sharing the ingredients and their regional provenance in Portugal—so it was a bit educational, learning some about specific preparations too (such as the clay pot chicken).

Tout d'abord, ce fut une expérience visuelle et auditive : une... read more décoration soignée et créative,une musique d'ambiance agréable,ensuite une rencontre avec un hôte passionné par son travail de cuisinier ,enfin des découvertes gustatives.
Mateus a pris le temps de nous présenter tous les plats en nous expliquant leur composition et leur préparation ( en français s'il vous plaît) son frère Marcus ,au service, a été attentionné.
Des plats traditionnels portugais revisités par le chef Mateus
comme il le dit lui même, "c'est une cuisine réconfortante inspirée par ma grand-mère ".
Pour moi qui ne bois pas d'alcool, ce fût un bonheur ! Un apéritif soft délicieux et un jus de fruits frais, le tout servi dans de beaux verres ,les restaurateurs français devraient prendre des leçons...😊
Je recommande vivement cette expérience culinaire et culturelle.

  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.

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.
