The concept
A curated dining event where selected restaurants offer fixed menus for a limited time, designed to drive discovery, visibility, and bookings.
After two highly successful editions in Lisbon, the Lisbon Insiders Restaurant Week expands this summer beyond the city — spotlighting Portugal’s most desirable destinations.
Structured over three weeks, each region is activated individually, with a curated selection of restaurants and hotels and a dedicated digital communication campaign.
At the core of the concept:
A highly engaged, international audience with strong purchasing power, actively seeking new places to eat, stay, and discover.
The benefits
-
Reach people actively looking for where to eat and stay this summer.
-
A limited-time format combined with a strong communication push helps generate attention, urgency, and reservations.
-
Plug into a fully built activation designed to create demand.
