This was my first experience dining with a local in any of the countries that we have visited. We are world travelers having traveled to 6 continents and dozens of countries.
Isabel welcomed our party of 8 when she usually accommodates a maximum of 7 people. The table was set to perfection and had a wide array of appetizers that was so inviting. We sat down and Isabel explained all of the appetizers on the table and poured a selection of red and white wine.
We had four courses and Isabel explained each one of them. Each dish was absolutely delicious and Isabel was the perfect Host. We spent 3 lovely hours with Isabel drinking wine, and eating the way the Portuguese Locals do. A great time was had by all!

My wife and I are traveling in Portugal with 2 other couples. We had dinner with Isabel last evening and now we have a new friend!
Dinner with Isabel was incredible. The food was delicious - all authentic Portuguese dishes. Many were specific to the area of Portugal where Isabel grew up.
But beyond the food (which, again was terrific) and the wine (which was plentiful and perfectly paired with the food) - the entire evening was just absolute perfection. Isabel’s home is lovely, warm and accommodating. It took less than 30 seconds for us to engage in active conversation and laughs as if we were old friends. We blinked and it was 3 hours later.
Our traveling companions all agree - book your evening with Isabel and you will be delighted!
