The Embassy of Portugal, the Portugal Tourism Office in the Netherlands, Leonardo Royal Hotel The Hague, and Diplomat Magazine are pleased to present an authentic Portuguese Food Festival during two exclusive dinner evenings on Thursday 11 June and Friday 12 June.
This special culinary experience will feature renowned guest Chef Rui Lima Santos, who will present a carefully curated menu showcasing some of Portugal’s most beloved dishes, paired with exceptional Portuguese wines.
Guests will have the opportunity to discover authentic flavors through specialties such as Bacalhau à Brás (Portugal’s iconic codfish dish), Octopus Salad with Onions and Cornbread, and the acclaimed Esporão Reserva Tinto, among other gastronomic delights.
According to H.E. Clara Nunes dos Santos, Ambassador of Portugal to the Netherlands, the festival forms part of Portugal’s efforts to promote and showcase the country, its gastronomy, and its rich cultural heritage. “It is part of promoting and publicizing Portugal and our rich Portuguese culture,” the Ambassador said.
Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating Portuguese culture, hospitality, and cuisine in the company of diplomats, business leaders, members of the international community, and food enthusiasts.
The Portugal Food Festival is part of LEO’S International Flavors, a unique culinary concept in which complete menus are inspired by cuisines from around the world. For each edition, a chef selected by the participating embassy travels to The Hague and works alongside the Leonardo Royal Hotel culinary team for several days, sourcing ingredients and creating an authentic menu that reflects the traditions and flavors of their country.
During each Food Festival, the guest chef collaborates closely with Chef Sido de Brabander and the Leonardo Royal Hotel team to create a special dining experience filled with authentic flavors. The most successful dishes are then considered for inclusion on the hotel’s regular menu, allowing guests to continue enjoying these international culinary discoveries long after the festival has ended.
