OUT OF THE CAGE

An environment decorated with natural materials, offering maximum comfort in a unique natural setting, 1 hour southwest of Lisbon.

A meticulous selection of premium beverages and unique pairings, specially chosen to complement and elevate every dish served.

The €500 fee is the key that unlocks this “cage”—the home of Chef Ljubomir Stanisic. The cost of the chosen menu is added to this fee.

are created using ingredients caught, hunted, and harvested by the chef, along with vegetables from the garden or animals from neighboring farms. There are no set menus, though the menu typically features rice cooked over an open fire, vegetables, bread baked in a wood-fired oven, aged meats and fish, smoked game, whole cuts of kid, and appetizers that fill the table (and the soul) are part of our “routine.” We’re not set in our ways—we’re quite flexible. We can adapt dishes to accommodate allergies or intolerances (but don’t ask for anything too weird :))

for more “traditional” lunch or dinner services, the table seats up to 12 people. But we live on an 8-hectare property with a pool and plenty of special nooks and crannies, and we’re open to (almost) any crazy ideas. If you have an idea that goes beyond a dozen guests, talk to us (or shut up forever :))

for any type of event, we can add a cocktail bar, wine tastings with producers and winemakers, book clubs, a DJ set, or live music. We make a point of working with friends, and we have some very talented friends, such as award-winning mixologist Jorge Camilo, the legendary Zen Baboon or The Legendary Tigerman, and the Niepoort, Nicolau de Almeida, and Louro families… Just ask us how and how much—we’ll take care of the rest.

they’re the star of the show. That’s why they’re always included in the price. In addition to the wines produced by chef Ljubomir in the Alentejo and Douro regions (under the Mestiço label), we’ll also feature opening and closing wines from other producers we work with (a few more friends to join the party).

is fundamental to us. We make a point of living in the present moment. And you’ll understand the rest when you get here… Come with an open mind and ready to connect with the primordial.

Out of the Cage is a gastronomic experience designed to unfold like a performance: on a pre-determined date, time, and location. Just like a play, each session is unique, has limited seating, and begins at the scheduled time.

Each ticket grants access to the specially curated menu created for that date.
The reservation is exclusive to the group specified at the time of purchase.
All seats for the same group must be purchased and paid for in a single transaction.
The reservation will only be considered final after:

• The bank transfer for the total amount has been made;
• Payment has been confirmed by the organizers;
• The corresponding confirmation email has been sent.

Until that moment, seats are not guaranteed.

The transfer description must include the name of the person responsible for the reservation and the date of the experience. Proof of payment must be sent to: info@ljubomirstanisic.pt

Once payment is confirmed, you will receive an email confirming your reservation, including the date, time, number of participants, selected menu, and practical information needed for the experience. You may be asked to present this email upon arrival.

Since this is an experience with a predefined culinary sequence, all participants must arrive at the specified time. Late arrivals may prevent you from fully enjoying the menu and the scheduled activities.

Since this is a scheduled event that requires the advance booking of staff, rental of equipment and furniture, and the purchase of specific products, cancellations initiated by the customer may only be made up to 14 days before the date of the experience. After this deadline, no refunds will be issued. If the event must be canceled by the organizer up to seven days in advance due to adverse weather conditions or other circumstances beyond its control, the amount paid will be fully converted into a voucher of the same value, valid for use on a new date to be chosen by the customer from among the future dates made available by the organizer.
