Una experiència meravellosa per gaudir de la gastronomia portuguesa amb qualitat, bon producte i el toc personal de Mateus que versiona i millora els plats del menú. Absolutament recomanable!

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!

Mateus and his brother were so accommodating for everyone’s food preferences. The hostel and room where dinner was held had a beautiful aesthetic and ambience making it feel so wholesome... read more and welcoming. The food was amazing for such an affordable price and I loved hearing the history behind the menu choices and Mateus’ background and journey. It was great to meet other travelers and connect over a home-cooked meal. Truly felt like a home away from home experience.

This was a beautiful intimate experience created by Mateus and his brother Marcus. An unforgettable evening with delightful food, presented and taste were super on point. Plus a lovely setting... read more and such a great atmosphere. This all set the tone for a perfect evening shared with my daughter, husband and some people we had never met before. It was a lovely chatty evening and I cannot recommend this experience enough! Simply put, I can’t wait to revisit! Thank you both xx

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. 😉
