What Our Guests Say

💍 Wedding Brunch

“Borboleta organised our wedding for 50 guests, and it was everything we hoped for. We had the ceremony in the garden, followed by dinner, dancing, a DJ and photographer inside. The table setting was absolutely beautiful, the beef tartare was incredible, and the whole salt-baked fish was unforgettable. Every detail was perfectly taken care of.”

— Joanna M.
🎂 Unforgettable Birthday

“I had a big birthday celebration in the Secret Garden at Borboleta, and I’m so glad I chose this wonderful venue. Our whole party had a truly magical time. The food was the best we had in Porto — we especially loved the sea bass tartare, baked corvina, and ratatouille. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the service from Yana, Katya, and the entire team was outstanding. From start to finish, everyone at Borboleta was an absolute pleasure to work with. They helped me organize a DJ and photographer, created a fantastic menu, and offered a great selection of drinks and wines. All of my guests had a fabulous experience, and I couldn’t be happier that I celebrated my birthday at Borboleta. Thank you so much — I’ll definitely be back!”

— Claire M.
🏢 Corporate Meetup

“We hosted our corporate event here for 80 people, and everything was organised beautifully. The buffet menu was excellent, the cocktails and wines were a real highlight, and the team made the whole evening feel effortless. We all had a wonderful time!”
