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. 😉

  The dinner arranged by Mateus was not only extremely delicious but also very welcoming and entertaining. Highly recommended for any visitor in Lisbon.

  This was one of the most amazing meals of my life. A 10/10 experience for sure. The storytelling through food left my belly and mind super happy.
