# 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.

## By the numbers

- **20+** Years of experience

## Credentials and partnerships

We work regularly with leading institutions in Portugal:

- Conference centres, hotels and event venues across Greater Lisbon

## Our team

The Vaga Cultural Team brings together cooks, waiting staff and event coordinators with years of joint experience. It is this stability — not improvisation — that ensures every event runs as agreed, from the first coffee to the last cleared plate.
