Worth the experience- don’t hesitate. It feels like a fabulous dinner party- without you doing the cooking.. or hosting. Great experience by a highly well trained chef .

  Mateus and his brother were awesome hosts. The food was SOO GOOD. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun experience for dinner. Great bang for your buck.

  Lovely dining experience and excellent value for money. Mateus and Marcos are great hosts and clearly love what they do. They made us feel welcome and cared for. Besides being... read more a great cook, Marcos takes his time to create a thoughtful menu using super fresh produce. This is comfort food at its best, Portuguese with a hint of Brazilian, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone and everyone visiting Lisbon.

  Simply one of the best meals I’ve ever had—each and every course was exquisite! I’d highly recommend this experience; it was the perfect end to my trip. Mateus and Marcos... read more walked us through each dish, sharing the ingredients and their regional provenance in Portugal—so it was a bit educational, learning some about specific preparations too (such as the clay pot chicken). Mateus and Marcos were warm and lovely hosts, and were accommodating ahead of time with any special dietary needs. We had a great group; I was there solo and ended up going for drinks afterwards with some of my fellow diners and exchanged information with the others to be in touch—nice to share such a wonderful meal with friendly company 🙂

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. 😉
