Often times, the best meals take place at home. That is why ROSA ET AL Townhouse created the Supper Club, a special private dinner that takes place once a month on the townhouse premises.
What is a Supper Club?
History of the Supper Club
Taste Cooking Magazine
During the the 1930s in the United States, the concept of supper clubs became popular in the midwest. supper clubs were places where people socialized and celebrated with alcohol. They would show up in their best outfit to enjoy a fancy meal with drinks and this would go on for many hours. Some consider supper clubs the country version of the urban nightclub, but more casual.
A similar concept of underground dining called Paladares has emerged in Cuba in 1993. Paladares are small, family-run restaurants, usually in a converted part of a home. The name came from a Brazilian telenovela that was aired on Cuban TV called Vale Tudo and showed a restaurant chain with the name Paladar, the Portuguese word for “to taste”. Nowadays, they are a huge part of Cuban cuisine and its history.

When the hottest days approach, suppers in the aromatic garden transform the whole experience as the guests will be hugged by the aromas that are oftentimes are included in one of the courses of the dinner. The scents of lavender or rosemary tell us that we are in a real sanctuary in the heart of the city. And throughout the year, the supper club receives the special participation of national and international chefs.
They are invited to have dinner at four hands or in takeover format, in delivery to the concept of sharing, of respect for the essence of Portuguese products and the recreation of the philosophy that is in the basis of the yearly meetings.
Our suppers club can take place around town or anywhere in Portugal. If you fancy a specific location or if you would like to partner up with us, we will be happy to hear from you.
We are always eager to know more about other chefs and cuisines, talk to us if you would like to partner up with our team or if you have a local product you would like to share.
