A Unique Culinary Experience in Lisbon
Boato, the latest supper club by chef Miguel Ângelo, combines high gastronomy with social interaction in a secretive dining setting. Guests are invited to enjoy 10 exquisite dishes without knowing who they will dine with or what they will eat until two days before the event.
The unique concept emerged from Miguel's inspiration drawn from international supper clubs, and began in May of last year. The events take place in a renovated family home in Lisbon, which can accommodate up to 10 unfamiliar guests who come together for a 10-course dining experience reflective of Miguel's 17 years in the culinary world, including stints at prestigious restaurants.
The Mystery of the Menu
Guests receive the location details and hints just two days before dinner, maintaining the element of surprise. Each meal is a blend of fine dining techniques and seasonal ingredients, designed to impress and intrigue diners. Miguel assures that the dishes could easily feature on high-end restaurant menus.
Engaging Social Atmosphere
As the evening unfolds, Miguel encourages guests to mix and mingle, breaking down social barriers. The atmosphere is light and informal, with guests sharing stories and experiences, often discovering common connections.
Culinary Highlights
The menu showcases a variety of dishes inspired by different cultures:
- Braised mackerel with coriander oil - a nod to Lisbon's summer traditions.
- Shrimp croquettes - a culinary twist from Miguel's time in Barcelona.
- Pâté-filled pastries - a surprise treat that challenges guests' perceptions.
The supper club not only offers a meal but also a chance for socialization, with interactive elements like conversation starters and post-dinner games to foster connections among guests.
Pricing and Availability
The experience is priced at €50 per person at the chef's residence, while home events cost €65, maintaining the blind menu concept. The menu evolves with seasonal ingredients, ensuring a fresh experience each time.
Join Miguel at Boato for an unforgettable night where culinary excellence meets social adventure in the heart of Lisbon.
