About Vaga Cultural

    Catering with a Portuguese soul, serving Lisbon businesses and universities for over 20 years.

    Our story

    Vaga Cultural was founded in 2003 at Alameda da Universidade in Lisbon, with a clear mission: bring quality Portuguese cuisine to the daily life of those who work, study and celebrate in the city.

    We started in the heart of the University of Lisbon and, over more than two decades, have grown alongside the academic and business community. Today we serve hundreds of events a year — from 15-person coffee breaks to port wine receptions for 350 guests.

    We keep the same values from day one: fresh produce, a stable team, attention to detail and absolute respect for our clients' deadlines.

    Our team
