Experiences & Events

Taste & Socialize

Tasting Experiences

Structured social dining with engaging ice-breakers and fun food challenges. Build genuine connections and shared memories over a delicious Portuguese feast. You don't need to know anyone. You just need to be hungry for food and for connection.

Hands-On Craft

Cooking Workshops

Dive into the heart of Portuguese cuisine with classes featuring iconic recipes. Learn traditional techniques and try your creations together. Perfect for a tight friend group, a small team, or anyone who bonds better over a shared task than a shared table.

Connect & Create

Creative Culture Labs

Culture isn't only tasted, it's made. Pair a traditional craft with the story behind it, and close the way every good Portuguese gathering does: with food.

Share & Learn

Food for thought Talks

Small groups, one topic, taught by someone who genuinely knows it. We pick what we cover because it's actually happening in the world around us — sustainability, migration, AI, cultural identity, the traditions and crafts that are quietly disappearing or changing shape.

This is our vibe

Everything here starts at a Portuguese table.

Office meeting, conference room, cooking lab, a boat, a picnic in the park — if people are gathered, that's our table.

Our Partners

For us, a partner isn't just a logo: it's an organization that shares our values and actively contributes to what we're building. Our partners are the people and places who help us bring a piece of Portugal to Amsterdam — around the table, and beyond it.
