Amazing food in terms of variety, quality and cultural context. The level of care and attention to the meals, including modifications for dietary restrictions and preferences were greatly appreciated... read more and the expertise really showed through in the cooking of each dish. Had the best gluten-free bread and delicious cauliflower rice! Mateus’s brother was also an amazing host so they truly make quite the duo.
If anything I wish they provided some ice breakers for us as guests and had hoped we had gotten to chat more during the course of dinner, but the lack of these things didn’t take away from the dinner and speaks to how dedicated they were to making sure our dishes turned out as good as possible and came out in a timely fashion. Thank you both for such a lovely time!

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.
