Are you ready for a culinary adventure?
Our upcoming botanical pop-up dinner is designed to showcase the essence of what Portuguese nature has to offer this season. It highlights the use of fermentation, preservation, and the potential of often overlooked ingredients, transforming them into something both delicious and edible. By foraging edible seeds, flowers, roots, and leaves from garden, fields, and forests, we explore a vast range of flavours and textures. By experimenting with this harvest we create surprising aromas and unexpected combinations.

Variety of organic wines and non-alcoholic drinks available to purchase with dinner.
Overnight accommodation with breakfast is available on request.
