A unique experience we really appreciated. All dishes were delicious and came with great introductions. We loved the atmosphere, and it was also nice to meet other travelers on our... read more vacation in Lisbon. We really recommend this experience.

  Had a wonderful evening with Mateus & Marcos - food was incredible (Thank you Chef Mateus!), as was the vibes and energy.
Would strongly, strongly recommend!

  Wonderful dinner!! The taste of the food is amazing, and you can truly feel the passion from Mateus the chef- we had a great time, and would highly recommend to... read more all of our family and friends back home. A must visit!!

  It is an amazing experience with wonderfully prepared food. Amazing quality and menu. The personal care during the dinner was also outstanding! Will definitely do it again!

  6/5 Sterne. Es war ein wundervoller Abend. Tolle Gastgeber und super hochwertiges und frisches Essen. Wir kommen wieder, wenn wir wieder in Lissabon sind. ❤️

  We greatly enjoyed the delicious meal with the numerous tastings. The passionfruit drink was quite refreshing with the Beirao liqueur. The bacalhau dish was the best that I tasted... read more on our three-week trip to Portugal. It was fun meeting new people and the tablescape and presentation of the food showed much attention to detail. The dessert was very tasty. The wine was plentiful and added to the pleasure of the meal and conversation. We also enjoyed learning about the history of the food and Portugal through your thoughtful selection of the food used in the tasting.

  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. 😉

  This is an incredible, must-do experience in Lisbon! All of Chef Mateus’s food is Portuguese but with a creative take and has flavors that are balanced perfectly. Both Chef Mateus... read more and his brother Marcos work in unison to deliver amazing hospitality, I truly felt like an old friend of theirs that they’re welcoming into their home. Each course was accompanied with a wine pairing and an explanation/introduction by Marcos and Chef Mateus which really elevated the experience! I would 100% suggest this experience for solo travelers, but would be equally great for couples, families, friend groups, etc.

  This was a really great food experience and we could have a wonderful communication with other participants. Among several dishes, I really liked the chestnut cream and codfish dish. Thanks,... read more Mateus and Alex!
