Fantastic Time

Our group had an amazing time at this dinner! We enjoyed a 10-day trip through Portugal, and it was one of the best dining experiences we had. We truly appreciated the location, engaging discussions, and fabulous food.

We had a group of thirteen that wanted to have a group dinner experience. Exceeded our expectations!

Defne provided a fantastic experience, from the dinner and wine tasting being set up in an artists studio to the wonderful meal Defne prepared. We would highly recommend if you are visiting.

Love of life….and food!

I’ll keep it bier, Defne is knowledgeable and caring. Don’t miss this experience. Here love of food and life shows naturally through her time with us. She knows family and friends matter and sharing a meal with her reminded me of how special everyday family dinner can be.
