Holiday menus at 100 Maneiras’ restaurants
This year, the group’s three restaurants celebrate the Holiday season with special menus, suggestions for groups, take-away parties and different opening hours.
At Bistro, celebrations begin even before December, with the “Holiday Season” menu for groups of 12 people or more. To take friends out of WhatsApp groups and bring them together at the same table, with classic Bistro’s bites to share, suggestions of mains for all tastes and, of course, a sweet happy ending. These menus are available until December 23rd and cost €45 per person, including wine, water, coffee and/or tea.
From December 21st until January 5th, Bistro also extends its opening hours, opening for lunch every day (and not just on weekends, as is usually the case) with its menu of classics and daily specials.
For weekend lunches, which always feature the Let’s Roast Bistro menu, designed to bring together friends and family around comfort food, there are also news: a special “Holiday Season” Roast, with a Yugoslav accent, featuring names such as burek (here with cabbage and foie gras or cabbage and onion), sarma, goulash, pierogi or tufahija, to explore on the weekends of the 21st and 22nd, 28th and 29th of December and 4th and 5th of January, with price of €80 for 2 people.
On the 24th, with the doors of Carnal and 100 Maneiras Restaurant closed, the party is concentrated at Bistro. After all, it has always been, par excellence, the main stage of all the group’s celebrations. The eternal youngest, who saw himself in the role of older brother, opens his arms, heart and mouths to the city and promises to celebrate Christmas Eve with a menu that combines tradition with the 100 Maneiras spirit.
There is cod, yes, but served in a burek that combines it with egg yolk, potatoes and onion. There is kid goat, but glazed and accompanied by celery and truffle. There’s smoked octopus with spicy honey and sweet potato tatin, french toast and king cake, among other creations. Priced at €140 per person, the menu (also available in a meatless or vegetarian versions) does not include drinks, but there is the possibility of adding the wine pairing for an additional €60.
For those who prefer to celebrate Christmas at home, the group also has a take-away Christmas’ Eve menu, including suggestions such as burek (of spinach and goat cheese, cabbage and foie gras or cod and potato), and Mamma Rosa’s unmissable flower bread to start, spicy octopus with honey and Mamma Rosa’s kid goat for the main dishes and sweet proposals such as the organic chocolate mousse from Roça Diogo Vaz. The 100 Maneiras’ Queen Cake is another possibility to take home and, this year, it comes with a very special surprise: a golden ticket hidden inside one of the many that will come out of our oven. Remember the fava bean and the gift that used to be inside every king cake? Well, inspired by Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory, we decided to give tradition an upgrade and offer, inside one of our queen cakes, a dinner for two people at Carnal. Orders can be placed up to 2 days before the take-away date, available from December 20th to 24th, with orders available through Bistro 100 Maneiras’ contacts or via Volup’s app.
Still with the smell of party in the air, we enter the new year in the three restaurants.
At Bistro, farewells to 2024 begin with a selection of Bosnian specialties, scallops and truffle, an Atlantic coast prawn bun with caviar, Barrosã beef tartare mille-feuille, brill with oyster butter, Challans duck magret, iced cheese foam and guava, a chocolate soufflé and saffron ice cream and they begin as they end: with a mini-trip to Bosnia on the table, made of small tufahijas and baklavas. With a vegetarian or meat-free alternative, the menu costs €270 per person, including wine pairing and champagne (as well as water, coffee and/or tea).
A few meters away, at Carnal, another journey: the Nochevieja is celebrated in the best Mexican style, with house specialties and dishes created for the occasion. Guacamole, pico de gallo, salsas verde and roja, totopos and chicharrones start the party that follows with options such as a tuna toro tartar, scallops tostada with Malhado pork “chorizo” and truffle, tiger prawn taco, suckling pig carnitas served on ceremonial tortillas, a sweet gordita pocha and, closing, a 2.0 version of Carnal’s famous vanilla flan, served with black truffle. With a shot of Volcán Cristalino tequila, wine, sparkling wine and water and coffee/tea, the menu costs €145 per person.
Adding to Bistro’s irreverence and Carnal’ festive relaxation, it is at 100 Maneiras Restaurant, with 1 Michelin star, that you’ll find the group’s most luxurious menu. A unique dinner, which takes The Story, 100 Maneiras’ main tasting menu, and rewrites it for an unforgettable starter in 2025. Flower bread, ajvar, kajmac, pasta and sea “butter” mark the beginning and set the tone for this farewell letter of 15 moments, with influences from all over the world – Bosnia, yes, but also Mexico, Asia, France, without forgetting Portugal and the excellent Portuguese products, such as the fish and seafood from our coast (lobster, scarlet prawn…) and what is not from our coast but it’s so ours (the faithful friend, cod), the black pork, the Reineta apple, the pineapple from the Azores… A menu with no barriers, no borders, 100 Maneiras. How else could we welcome 2025? 100 Maneiras’ New Year’s Eve menu is priced at €475 per person, including wine pairing, champagne, water, coffee and tea.
On December 25th and January 1st, all the group’s restaurants are closed so that the team can celebrate in their own way.
Reservations for all these dates are already available.
