Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel, located in the heart of the city of Porto, is joining the celebration of Earth Hour’s 20th anniversary with a special dinner at L'Égoist Restaurant & Bar, which invites guests to slow down and experience the moment more mindfully. On March 28, the hotel will symbolically reduce its lighting for an evening defined by an intimate atmosphere, an exclusive menu, and live music.

Dedicating one hour to the planet is the guiding idea behind the global Earth Hour movement, organized by the World Wildlife Fund, which invites people and organizations around the world to switch off their lights and reflect on the importance of sustainability and reducing energy consumption. Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel is taking part in the initiative by dimming the lighting in its spaces and hosting an intimate dinner designed to create a sensory experience where ambiance, flavors, and music take center stage.

To the sound of a live performance by the duo Andor Violeta, the evening’s special menu begins with a couvert of sourdough bread and roasted tomato butter, followed by a starter of watermelon, feta cheese, lemon, and mint, in a fresh and balanced combination. Sea bass served with shrimp tortellini, grilled broccolini, and Champagne sauce is the main course offering and, to end the meal on a sweet note, guests are invited to enjoy a dark chocolate brownie with mascarpone and coffee.

The experience continues in the restaurant’s setting, where the reduced lighting creates an intimate atmosphere designed to heighten the senses and invite guests to pause from the pace of everyday life. The Earth Hour dinner at Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel begins at 8:00 PM, with a single seating, and is priced at €45 per person, excluding drinks. Reservations can be made via email at restaurant@renaissanceportolapa.com.

For those wishing to extend the experience, the hotel also invites guests to enjoy a relaxing stay throughout the weekend. Between the irreverent and playful gastronomic concept that defines the hotel’s restaurant, moments of wellness and self-care at the new Slōw Wellness & Spa, and the Fitness Center to care for body and mind, Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel offers a break from routine to recharge before the start of a new week.
