EVENTS
From time to time, one of our greatest pleasures is organizing an event that combines music, food, and drinks. Where everything blends together in the melting pot of cultures from the vast Portuguese-speaking world. All this because... "No home is welcoming if it doesn't smell of food, music, dancing, and people gathered together wanting to let more life in."
This May, during the Blas na Bealtaine food festival, Alma Restaurant will host a night of food and wine on a journey through the Portuguese landscape. From north to south, three dishes that are symbols of our traditional gastronomy, transmitted from generation to generation over the centuries, paired with three wines that reflect the different terroir from each region.
Mariana de Moraes, wine specialist from our prime supplier will talk about the uniqueness of Portuguese wines and the details of each wine served during the event, along with João (half of Alma and the heart behind the stove) who will chat about the dishes and the tradition of food in the Portuguese culture.

On Saturday, 28th of February we will host another night of live music with Thaís & Marcos playing popular Brazilian music. A six course menu based on bar food from Portugal and Brazil, because a party is only a party when the table is full. And, of course, sangria and wine to warm up your soul.
