Drag Taste | Drag, Food & lots of Pink Champagne

Have you ever had a cooking class with a drag queen? Oh darling, you should. Drag Taste's Cooking Party is everything we hoped for. After a warm welcoming with local cheeses, snacks and a welcome drink, Teresa al Dente, Professional Chef & Drag Queen will show you how to cook some of the most delicious and extravagant recipes of the Portuguese cuisine. Of course, every recipe will be enhanced with an extra doze extravaganza.

While dinner is cooking, you will be turned into the Drag Queen or King of your dreams, including wigs, dresses, jewelry, high heels and accessories. The party will conclude a glamorous Dinner Party with your fellow kings and queens, which you will enjoy while watching a fabulous live Drag Show. Of course, champagne, wine and sangria will flow all night long, so feel free to drink up as much as you like.

How does a Sunday Brunch with a drag queen sound to you? Well, we love it! Drag Taste's Sunday Drag Brunch is the perfect way to start your Sundays in Lisbon. The brunch takes place in LX Factory, which means that you will get to navigate through the special Sunday Market before reaching the destination. Arriving there, you will be greeted with a glass of sparkling wine or mimosa and enjoy an extensive brunch buffet with traditional and international flavors. Of course, live Drag performances will entertain you through your meal.
