Deliciously Decadent Dining Experience

We were seeking a unique dining experience, as well as, a way to be social with a Porto local. This was much more than a dining experience, but more of a cultural exchange with delicious food as a bonus. I really can’t say enough about Mr. Paulo’s hospitality, decadent offerings, opulently furnished home, and captivating conversation. I must admit, I was under prepared for the number of delicious courses offered, and I was as full as a tick. Overall, 5-stars to this one-of-a-kind dining experien...read more

An amazing ‘one of a kind’ experience!

One of the highlights of our trip! An incredible experience being hosted by Paulo in his beautiful home overlooking Porto. The home cooked meal was as good if not better than any fine dining restaurant. We did not feel like guests. We felt like family. An over the top experience - highly recommend!

An enchanting meal with Paulo!

We had a fantastic experience with Paulo as our host and chef. His warmth and hospitality made the meal extra memorable. The food was not only delicious but was also a reflection of Paulo’s background and Portugal’s rich culture and traditions. Paulo’s eloquence and knowledge about Porto and its history added depth to our experience. His eclectic collection of antiques, each with its own story, added to the unique atmosphere. We look forward to returning for another delightful feast with Paulo!

A unique and multi faceted experience

I found this to be a delightful and unique experience, in the sense that it was multi faceted. The opportunity to visit the home and interact with a gentleman from Porto, enjoy gourmet food and wine, in abundance, as well as delight in the magnificence of his home. Paulo is an art and antique collector. I was in awe of the vast and unusual pieces in his collection. I felt uplifted by the whole experience and look forward to returning!
