Home Cooking class - Teresa and George and Marco were truly amazing! Teresa and George have a beautiful home. Teresa and Marco offered a great cooking experience They made a beautiful Charcuterie spread to eat while we were cooking and we made delicious croquettes and a cod with potato and spinach and cornbread crumb dinner was delicious and a creme dessert The wine George picked was delicious. They really made you feel at home. We will definitely be keeping in touch!

Great Food, Fun, and Warm Hospitality - We had an unforgettable experience creating a traditional Portuguese dinner with Meals and Memories! Teresa and Mario were incredibly warm and welcoming, sharing their vast knowledge of traditional cooking techniques. My partner, who is a chef, was immediately put to work by Teresa, and we had so many laughs and fun throughout the cooking process. The wine pairing was spot on, and they even gave us some lemon verbena tea to take home after we fell in love with it. We ate so much delicious food, we practically rolled home and had the best sleep of our lives. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique, hands-on, and delicious experience! We left feeling like part of the family and can't wait for the chance to cook for them when they're next in London!

Feel the Portugal with all of Your senses! - We had an outstanding opportunity to participate in the Dinner and also the Cooking lesson experiences. Cozy and unusual events take place in a fabulous traditional family house where the knowledge is transferred right in the kitchen at the stove in the form of well-thought and prepared cuisine, lifestyle and expertise lessons. Food and the whole evening was like at mom's home - fresh, delicious and definitely made with love food, personal experience based insights into food preparation routine and caring guiding of the whole process... The hosts are unique professional team and a family, with deep love for food culture exchange and big open hearts for guests that are visiting their house. Try this experience that is one of the best ways to feel the Portugal with all of Your senses!

A MUST culinary experience in Cascais! - Our group of 6 enjoyed traditional Portuguese tapas in the warm and welcoming home of Teresa. Teresa and her cousin Mario put their heart and soul into creating a wonderful culinary experience for us! The food was plentiful with a variety of choices and all amazingly delicious! Teresa's husband George shared his love of Portuguese wines with us and perfectly paired them with our tapas! Meals & Memories is truly a delightful experience we would highly recommend!

Delicious and delightful - Our small group of 4 were privileged to experience Tapa's with Teresa in her lovely home. They were the most gracious guests and delightful conversationalists. The food was plentiful and fantastic, the wine incredible and the whole experience was fantastic. They were so wonderful and even Mario was so accommodating that he drove us back to our apartment. We highly recommend this activity, Obrigada Teresa, Mario and George.

A Deliciously Different Experience - We were a family party of 5 including a friend and one teenager. We were warmly greeted by Teresa and her chef and on arrival were shown their kitchen, ( which was large and spotlessly clean). Then we were offered a selection of refreshments including Sangria, wine, white and red, and soft drinks. Then came a delicious selection of Portuguese cheeses and different breads. After this we were invited to be seated in Teresa’s garden on a warm evening and we were treated to numerous delicious courses. (Prior to arrival we had informed Teresa that we do not eat pork or shell fish). Each course was served separately, so we could savour each one. The meal comprised about 10 separate courses, comprising vegetarian dishes, fish and meat dishes. We all ate everything because each one was delicious. What made it so special was that nearly all the dishes were ones we had not eaten before, so it was a culinary adventure. Our glasses were constantly being topped up throughout the meal. Teresa and her chef were extremely hospitable and friendly without being intrusive and they both spoke very good English, so we could converse very easily. I would recommend Tapas Chez Teresa to any group who are adventurous and who want to experience something quite unique. It was the best part of our holiday in Cascais and we will make certain to go back to Teresa on our next visit to Cascais.

Great tapas with the best hosts - Following the recommendation of our guide, we decided to try Tapas chez Teresa instead of going to our typical restaurant near Cascais marina... The experience was so good that we went again on the next day! Teresa not only cooks wonderful meat but also fish besides, of course, the typical aperitif along with homemade cheese and ham. I would strongly recommend you to ask for the “bacalhau” and even suggest a recipe that you would like to try as I am sure Teresa will cook it beyond your expectations. Thanks Teresa and see you soon.
