Full bellies. Lots of laughter. Friendship.

An intimate night of a Portuguese dinner where Chef Ze really makes it special for each person. He was full of joy and laughter and left us with so much knowledge about Portugal’s history and Lisbon’s unique neighborhoods. This evening surpassed all of our expectations. We came for dinner and by the time we left it felt as if we were saying goodbye to an old friend. Cheers to dinner and new friends.

A must do!!!

What an amazing experience! The food was delicious and the wine pairing was perfectly combined! He also sent us the recipes of the dishes we tasted following the experience which was an added bonus. We highly recommend a night out at chef Zé's house!

This ‘Chez’ (was) the best!

Kim_T, Jun 2024
This was one of the best things we have ever done when traveling to a foreign country! Chez was a great host and we all felt so comfortable in his home. He taught us how to make a few dishes and let us do the work which was very neat! He has a rule though- never have an empty glass of wine- if it’s empty fill it! I would recommend him to all who want to experience dinner with a local in Lisbon.

Fantastic evening with Ze!
