Frequently Asked Questions

Sebze Lisboa is inspired by the seasons, paths traveled across the world and local Portuguese products and produce. We LOVE a fusion menu and cooking up dishes that haven’t been named while pulling together flavors from the Middle East to the Mediterranean (and sneaking in a bit of Asian spice!) Our focus is to cover your table with fresh and colorful food so that there is no question that you are truly eating the rainbow.

Our kitchen caters to requests for gluten-free diets, vegan menus, natural sugars, raw food and organic items.  We are pretty much always open to accommodating any specific requests you can come up with.

You can find us hosting events and preparing catering from our venue, The Seed House, located in Estrela, Lisbon. However, as we have one foot in the world of private cheffing and the other in catering, we travel across Portugal for events, have worked in hundreds of Lisbon homes and accept private jobs outside of Portugal when the timing is right.  One of the greatest parts of running Sebze is that we can meet you at your table on the sunny beaches of the Algarve, along the stunning rocky cliffs of Aljezur, the rolling- open farmland of Alentejo or the misty and magical mountains of Sintra.

The Seed House is the actualization of a dream we had before moving to Lisbon. Arriving in the city four years ago as a writer and an artist, we dreamt of one day having our own creative space to host in, invite artists to, organize thoughtful discussions and workshops at and, overall, have a space which we could PLAY in. The Seed House is just that. It’s a place to be used by us, our clients and our partners in the community to organize events around food, connection and imagination. We hope The Seed House will provide a space for the dreams of others to grow while we add a bit of water and sunshine.

Each price setting is unique to the client and their needs. Creating a specialized menu that fits your budget is our main goal. Send us a message and let’s chat more about this.

We offer a basketful of services which include events and community gatherings and partnerships at The Seed House, in-home private dinner parties, large-scale catering, boat parties, bachelor/ bachelorette celebrations, weddings, pop-ups, commercial events, conference catering, retreats, meal plans and simply intimate date-night experiences. 

Sebze works in partnership with local musicians to bring incredible entertainment to your event as well as a bar and drinks provider, wedding planners, lights and visual artists and other local vendors.  Reach out and discover the tastiness we can create together.

At Sebze Lisboa, we provide a carefully curated experience that involves YOU in the planning process every step of the way. Focused on writing a menu which is designed for you, we walk through the story you want to tell with the food on the table. Working from either our online menu or creating a new one together, we guarantee that you will always experience a boutique approach from our family-run kitchen.  

Every guest and gathering is unique, and therefore to support your event we offer delivery, set-up, decoration, table scaping, clean-up, staffing, packaging, dish and support item rentals and other details to enhance your culinary story. 

We always begin with a one-to-one consultation so that we can help you plan the ideal event supported by our network of specialists.

At Sebze Lisboa, we offer a starter menu for inspiration but our preferred method is in collaboration with you. Our top priority is to create the perfect dining experience together, whether you are organizing a wedding or a chef-in-home experience. We want the menu to reflect the love and care dedicated to personalizing the event and ensure that we exceed your expectations.

At The Seed House we are open for private bookings and community events where menus are available for all types of gatherings- from brunches to small bites to magical candlelit dinners.  In addition we offer weekly meal plan menus which are sent out from the Estrela location on Monday evenings.

We recommend reaching out to us as early as possible. That being said, life is unpredictable, especially when planning events. We will always do our best to accommodate last minute requests because you can’t have a party without food, right?

We understand that sometimes you need to make reasonable last minute changes to the menu and we can absolutely work with you on this, as long as they are 48 hours before the event.

There is no minimum order size when it comes to working with Sebze. We offer catering services for groups of all sizes from delivery orders, dinner parties, birthdays, bachelorette/bachelor events, baby showers, conferences, team-building gatherings, retreats, and of course, weddings!

When you request to book a date with Sebze Lisboa, we require a 30% booking fee based on the quoted proposal we will submit. Please note that we do not offer refunds upon cancellation on your end, except under extreme circumstances.
