The Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel, in the heart of Porto, presents several options designed to bring teams and colleagues together around the table to celebrate one of the most anticipated times of the year. Featuring seasonal flavors, recipes inspired by Portuguese tradition, and contemporary creations, the offerings cater to different dining formats, from buffets to set menus.

For those who prefer table service, the hotel offers two distinct menus. “A Taste of Christmas,” with prices starting at €40 per person, includes roasted pumpkin and ginger cream soup, cod loin with cornbread and turnip greens or guinea fowl supreme with chestnuts, pumpkin, and kale, finishing with a mascarpone and vanilla cream dessert with cranberries and hazelnuts. Meanwhile, “Season’s Table,” available from €50 per person, features a combination of flavors, including a goat cheese parcel with tomato jam and walnuts, meagre with shallot sauce, sweet potatoes, and broccolini, or slow-cooked veal accompanied by potato mousseline and wild mushrooms. To finish, dessert combines chocolate, peanuts, and miso caramel. Both menus allow guests to choose between one or two main courses, offering greater flexibility in creating their dining experience.

For groups looking for a more relaxed and dynamic atmosphere, the hotel also offers two buffet options. While “The Joy of Gathering” (€54 per person) features a selection that balances various traditional Portuguese flavors, “Santa’s Table” (€61 per person) offers a broader and more diverse selection, combining Portuguese ingredients with contemporary-inspired creations.

The experience can be complemented with welcome cocktails (starting at €9 per person), with options ranging from Cinnamon, a non-alcoholic option, to Frost, featuring a selection of Renaissance wines, and Sparkle, which includes sparkling wine. Additional options include a dessert buffet (starting at €9 per person), two beverage packages (starting at €12.50 per person), and live cooking stations (€26 per person), featuring salt-baked fish, roasted kid goat, or Beef Wellington, as well as an open bar option.

To complete the Christmas atmosphere, the Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel provides background music and festive decorations, along with four parking spaces for every 50 confirmed participants. All prices are per person, with children between the ages of 5 and 12 receiving a 50% discount, while children up to 4 years old are guests of the hotel.
