Where Expats and Foodies meet | Experience the closest you'll get to Portugal without boarding a plane

Rooted in Portugal, Powered by Connection

Authentic Portuguese food experiences, creative workshops and events in Amsterdam.

In Portuguese, We Call It Convívio

Connection sounds simple until you ask what it actually means. In Portugal, there's a word for it: convívio — the hours after the meal is finished but nobody's left the table. Presence with no agenda, no notification, no scroll.

Portuguese culture built entire rhythms of life around this...

The Sunday lunch that runs for hours, the tasca where regulars are family, the belief that a meal without company is just eating. We didn't invent connection. We just never automated it away.

Creativity

Because what you make speaks before you do.

Doing it yourself

Because your hands can't multitask. You're either there, or you're not.

Food

Convívio is the opposite of automation. It's slow. It's hands-on. It asks nothing of you except to show up. This isn't nostalgia but rather a skill...One we believe the world is losing, and one Portugal never let go of.

Because nobody performs at a shared table.

This is what we build, every time in our events:

Come solo, bring a friend, or show up not knowing anyone yet. Doesn't matter. Our tastings happen around a table, with real Portuguese wine and food, and that's usually enough to get people talking.

We cook the dishes that you've actually heard of such as bacalhau, francesinha, pastéis de nata and so much more.

Part cooking, part storytelling, part getting your hands messy with something like azulejo tile painting. It's a strange mix on paper, but it works better than a lecture ever could.

Portuguese cultural events, workshops, and experiences in Amsterdam for individuals, teams, and businesses. From cooking classes to private corporate events, we connect you with the traditions, flavors, and community in our own and unique way.
