The host... read more put so much love and effort into making everything about the whole evening, so very special from the ambience to the food to the amazing service and storytelling. Every detail was thought through including substitutions for people who could not eat fish. The food was delicious and perfectly sized so that we truly could enjoy every course. There was so much attention to detail from the room, ambience to the table setting to every single dish used to present the wonderful food. I highly recommend this experience to anyone!

  6/5 Sterne. Es war ein wundervoller Abend. Tolle Gastgeber und super hochwertiges und frisches Essen. Wir kommen wieder, wenn wir wieder in Lissabon sind. ❤️

We had a lovely experience - thank you 🫶

  This was such a fantastic experience! Mateus and his brother are such an incredible team. To start with, their explanation of how to get to the location was super thorough.... read more After we arrived, we were quickly shown to our seats and the experience begun as expected.
Everything went without a hitch! All courses were presented with a lot of detail by Mateus, and the food was truly some of the best I've ever had. Everything was obviously home made, down to the olives' marinade. I couldn't recommend this experience more!

  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 one of the most memorable meals we’ve had in Portugal. The service was superb and catered to dietary restrictions by making thoughtful adjustments and not just swapping out... read more a course for something generic. The food was superbly made and took us on a culinary journey of Portugal.

  What a wonderfully calming and delightful way to end a busy day exploring Lisbon! Mateus’s courses and presentation were sheer perfection. If you’re trying to decide whether or not to... read more book, don’t hesitate - DO IT. You won’t be disappointed. The pleasure was all ours ❤️.

  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!
