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. 😉

Mateus and his brother provided us with an incredible dining experience, where we got to fully experience Portuguese flavors with his own touch, creating memorable dishes and moments.
I could not... read more recommend this enough for someone who's looking for something beyond the usual restaurant meal.

Myself and 4 friends had an excellent time at this experience. The food was amazing, the stories were interesting and the personal touches were appreciated. The menu was designed thoughtfully,... read more each course's origin is explained and the connection to Portuguese cuisine. This was a fun and tasty experience that I would recommend to any food lover!

If you’re looking to experience local cuisine prepared by an experienced chef, I recommend booking this tasting experience. Mateus was able to accommodate my request for a lactose free meal.... read more Each course was delicious! It took some thought and creativity to prepare this meal lactose free and I am very grateful for all the effort. Mateus and his cohost Marcos make a great team. They are both kind, relaxed, and easy to talk to. Communication prior to the event was easy which made finding the location simple. I recommend this experience to anyone interested in tasting Portuguese food with a highly trained chef’s touch.
