What to Expect
Your private chef arrives 2–3 hours before guests to prep in the venue kitchen. Expect a pre-event consultation to design a menu featuring Portuguese seasonal ingredients — fresh Atlantic fish, Alentejo pork, Serra da Estrela cheese, and pasteis de nata. On the evening: an amuse-bouche welcome, followed by a 3–5 course seated dinner with Portuguese wine pairing. The chef interacts with guests, explaining dishes and sharing stories about Portuguese culinary traditions. Service staff handle plating and clearing. The experience lasts 3–4 hours for a full dinner.

Tips from Our Team
- 1.
Book 2–3 weeks ahead for the best chef selection — private chefs in Lisbon are in high demand during peak season.
- 2.
Ask about a Mercado da Ribeira market visit before cooking — shopping with the chef adds a cultural element to the experience.
- 3.
Wine pairing adds €20–40pp — Portuguese wines offer exceptional value; a pairing with Douro reds and Alentejo whites transforms the dinner.
- 4.
Groups of 8–20 are the sweet spot — above 20, consider a catering format rather than private chef for better service quality.
