Casa da Companhia bets on tradition for Christmas Dinner. To welcome the new year, there is champagne and a live DJ. We know the work that goes into preparing for Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. The goal is to bring our family members together at the table and save work, of course. In Porto, there is no shortage of options to have a worry-free festive season.

For example, in Rua das Flores, one of the most emblematic arteries of downtown Porto, you will find Casa das Flores, one of the oldest buildings in the municipality. It is here that themed events will take place, which will bring together parties, tradition, and gastronomy.

On Tuesday, December 24, the Special Christmas Dinner is served. The menu was designed for the occasion and includes seasonal products and creative combinations. The meal starts with scallops with caramelized carrot puree, curry, and kumquat. The fish proposal is cod cooked at a low temperature and accompanied by Bulhão Pato foam and black garlic puree. The Wellington steak will be the meat dish, with Madeira wine jus and micro vegetables. For desserts, there will be a buffet with typical proposals of the season, such as burnt crème brûlée, vermicelli, French toast, sponge cake, king cake, and Portuguese cheeses. 

For the kid,s there is a menu consisting of breaded fish with rice and fries, spaghetti bolognese, or veal steak with rice and fries. The farewell to 2024 will feature a hard party at Casa da Companhia. The event will be inspired by the elegance and exuberance of the Oscars Gala. On Tuesday, December 31, at 8 p.m., it all starts with a duo of instilled flavors: truffled popcorn with gold dust and a mini lobster and caviar hot dog. Then there is a grouper with potato sunflower puree and beurre blanc sauce. The meal ends with an acorn-fed black pig with Moroccan spices, Brussels sprouts, polenta, and pancetta. Desserts promise to be crunchy and sweet like the York Peppermint with chocolate caviar and a salted caramel banoffee pie with crispy pops.

The countdown to the 12 chimes is made with sparkling wine and the obligatory raisins. At the party, the true spirit of Hollywood will be present in the decoration, the dance steps, and the selection of the DJ. At two in the morning, the traditional New Year's Eve Supper will be served, with preguinhos and caldo verde. The bar remains open until four in the morning. At Christmas lunch, the 25th, and on New Year's Day, January 1st, it will be à la carte.
