Dine With Us
If you are looking for one of the most unique dining experiences in Porto, you have come to the right place. Our aim is to provide this luxury in the most affordable and sustainable setting. The concept is fairly simple, we do everything and you enjoy. To make it as clear as possible and have the booking be done quickly, please go through the steps listed below:
Step 1 – Contact Us
Think of this as a new start-up, we don’t have a huge team so everything that is being done is by us (The Chefs). You get in touch with us directly by clicking on the ‘Instagram icon’ or the ‘Contact Us‘ button at the bottom of this page. Once you get in touch with us, then we discuss everything about your event/dinner party.
Step 2 – The Discussion
During the discussion we will discuss your needs, including;
- Where and when you want to have the event?
- What your dietary preferences/ restrictions are?
- How many people you would like to host?
Stuff like that, you get the idea. Once we get the basic formalities out the way, we can get to finalising the menu, which is the most fun part.
Step 3 – Choosing the Menu
This part is very fun but it can get a bit overwhelming because culinarily, there is no limit to the things you can choose from. To keep it direct, we present you with a couple of sample menus. These menus have been tested many times and are adored:
Now, you can either choose one of the menus and we can make some changes according to your liking or we can curate an entirely new menu (this would take a little extra time though). Here, we do ask for a bit of your trust to let us show our skills. The aim is to have a menu that generally works with all your guests and provides you with the best possible experience.
The sample menus do change according to the season as we try to work with seasonably available produce in a minimum waste environment.
The Cost
Less than 4 people:
150€ without wine tasting
170€ with wine tasting
A dinner for less than 4 people usually takes place between couples which is considered a more intimate setting. Therefore, it is not priced by the menu but as a special service.
4 or more:
40€ without wine tasting
50€ with wine tasting
Our main focus is the food we serve but the wine pairings do make the entire experience better. So, we offer an ever-changing wine tasting that perfectly harmonises with our dishes.
The sample menus that you see above are the ones priced at the cost that you have just read. If you want anything specific or something more luxurious that could raise the food cost, then you will be charged extra for that.
The Payment
After the menu is finalised and we have a general agreement on how the things would go, it is time to put it into effect. This is where we do ask for a deposit, that is 50% of the entire value to be paid before. The deposit is necessary as most of the work for your event is done before the actual service. The rest of the value can be paid after the dinner is done. You can make these payments either with cash in person or with an online transfer (the details for which would be shared when the time comes).
The Cancellation
As said, most of the work takes place before the actual service, that is, procurement of the ingredients, the preparation of the dishes and so on.
If you cancel 2 days in advance: We will be able to refund the entire deposit because at this stage no costs would have been incurred on our part.
If you cancel a day before or on the day of the service: We won’t be able to refund the deposit as by that time the production would be undergoing.
And that is it, those are all the things that you need to keep in mind. Now, all you have to do is get in contact with us and we can get started.
Important Note
When you book us for the dinners, we assume that you have basic equipment that we can use for the service. Example:
– Plates and cutlery, enough for the people you want to host.
– Pots and pans that function well with your stove
– A working oven etc.
If you don’t have a particular thing, no worries. This is something we will discuss in person too and come with a solution.
