Host offerings
Sofia is born and brought up in Lisbon. In 2018, she decided to leave her corporate job and dedicate herself to doing what she loves - cooking and hosting. Sofia has enjoyed cooking from a young age, always lurking in the kitchen while the elders cooked, being curious about ingredients, flavors and cooking styles. Sofia inherited her cooking and hosting skills from her parents! She is excited to share her love for cooking and food with travelers, so they can learn about Portugal's rich gastronomy through its culinary traditions.
Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.
In-home meal (1 - 6 guests) Sofia lives with her partner in the city center, very close to Lisbon's best spots. She enjoys cooking homecooked Portuguese meals with a Mediterranean influence, using fresh, seasonal produce. Sofia and her husband enjoy spending hours fishing together and they are so excited to share their home, food, culture and traditions with those visiting Lisbon. You can expect to try a few traditional Portuguese dishes and wines at Sofia's home. Enjoy a relaxed evening where you'll learn more about life in Portugal, culinary traditions, share stories, exchange experiences and discover the culture and history. Join Sofia and her husband for a fun conversation around the table immersed in local culture and share a few dishes such as octopus with roasted potatoes and salad or stuffed squid or cuttlefish or codfish with corn bread or arroz de pato (duck rice) and mackerel fillets in vinaigrette sauce. End your meal with dessert such as chocolate mouse, coffee and port wine. 1-2 glasses of red, white or green wine will be served with your meal.
