São João is Porto’s most iconic popular festival, and on June 23rd, Hospes Infante Sagres invites you to experience this magical night filled with traditional flavors, music, and the elegance of the city’s first five-star hotel.

From 6PM, the patio of Scarlett Wine & Food comes alive, transforming into a vibrant arraial bursting with color and flavor, featuring an all-you-can-eat buffet that pays tribute to the classic dishes of this special celebration.

Among the cold options, highlights include Octopus Salad with Green Sauce, Cod with Chickpeas, Mussels with Vinaigrette, Buffalo Mozzarella with Beefsteak Tomato and Pesto, alongside a carefully curated Selection of Fresh Salads, Bakery, Regional Cheese & Charcuterie.

For the hot dishes, the festival’s classics are well represented, with Traditional Portuguese Kale Soup, Grilled Sardine, Grilled Pork Belly & Grilled Pork Steak, accompanied by Boiled Potatoes, Fried Rice, Sautéed Vegetables, and Eggplant with Romesco Sauce, flavors that evoke the tradition and festive spirit of the night.

To finish on a high note, the dessert table offers delights such as Crème Brûlée, Sponge Cake, Red Fruit Crumble, and the classic São João Cake. All this is served with Free-Flow Beer, in a carefully decorated setting, and, as tradition commands, with plenty of music, entertainment, and the lively atmosphere that makes this one of the most special nights of the year.

Secure your place at the city’s most memorable celebration for €45 per person, with complimentary entry for children up to 5 years old and a 50% discount for children aged 6 to 12.
