  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.

  this was a great experience, the food was spectacular and the hosts were wonderful. a really cool way to meet some people while in Lisbon and get to learn about... read more foods in Lisbon. Perfect amount of food, and super accommodating for allergies/dietary restrictions. I had some great Porto wine, followed by some red, but the non-alcohol options iny group looked so delicious too, I was almost wishing I'd done that!
I would do this again any day 200%! Perfect for a first meal here or introduction to the city.

  Don’t miss this experience if you’re visiting Lisbon!! From start to finish, everything about it was fantastic. Each course was thoughtfully prepared and explained by Mateus, who sources all local... read more ingredients for our meal - not to mention everything was so delicious! I attended as a solo guest, but quickly made friends with my table mates and enjoyed chatting throughout the dinner with them.

  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.

I absolutely recommend it to everyone.

  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. 😉

  This was by far one of my favorite experiences on an international trip. The hosts were wonderful and the food was delicious. I felt immersed in a true Portuguese... read more experience. I highly recommend.
