Larissa Castro

This is an AI-written summary of public information checked on 25 September 2026. It is based on Larissa Castro’s Airbnb service listing, including the guest feedback visible there, and her official chef website. It is not a first-person account, does not represent one named customer, and does not claim that the writer booked or tasted the service. The Airbnb page shows a 5.0 score from 8 reviews. That is a small platform-specific sample, so it is useful as an indication of the feedback shown there rather than a guarantee or a broad measure of every booking.

The service is presented as a private chef experience in Lisbon and the surrounding area, with the chef travelling to guests. The formats on the Airbnb page cover breakfast and brunch, afternoon tea, private lunch, dinner and catering for celebrations, with custom menus available on request. Examples of occasions include birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings, bachelorette parties, baby showers, getaways with friends and picnics. This range makes the offer relevant to both a meal at home and a planned gathering, though the exact format depends on the date, location and agreement with the chef.

A recurring strength in the visible guest comments is personalisation. Reviewers say that Larissa asked about preferences and dietary needs before planning the meal, and describe menus that were adapted to those requests. One guest describes a birthday dinner that combined contemporary Portuguese cooking with Spanish and Brazilian influences, while another mentions Portuguese dishes prepared for a family celebration. Other comments describe courses inspired by traditional food. These are individual guest impressions, but together they indicate that tailoring the menu is a central part of how the service is presented and experienced.

The visible reviews also speak positively about the food and presentation. Guests describe the dishes as delicious, carefully prepared and attractive, and mention a Portuguese feast and a meal prepared for a group of eight. One reviewer singles out a fish dish with cornbread and a Basque-inspired cheesecake; another emphasises the flavour and presentation of the courses. A family reviewer says the chef made simple adjustments for children and made the meal welcoming, even inviting a child to help with plating. Such details suggest a service attentive to the group as well as the menu, although the exact dishes and level of interaction will vary by booking.

Communication and hosting receive similarly favourable mention in the feedback shown. Guests describe Larissa as warm, friendly, professional, communicative and engaging. One reviewer valued hearing the stories and inspiration behind the food; another appreciated local recommendations in Lisbon. Several guests frame the meal as part of a birthday or the beginning of a trip, rather than simply a delivery of food. The service may therefore suit people who want the chef to contribute to the atmosphere of an occasion, while customers seeking only food preparation should clarify how much hosting and conversation they want.

The Airbnb listing also describes specific service options. Brunch or breakfast may include fresh pastries, seasonal dishes, eggs and specialty coffee, and vegetarian or vegan choices are available. Afternoon tea is described with sandwiches, scones, homemade cakes and pastries, tea or coffee and sparkling wine, with vegan and vegetarian options. The lunch and catering descriptions refer to fresh local ingredients and menus built around the event. A custom menu can be requested. These are listing descriptions, not a fixed menu: ingredients, courses, serving style and dietary accommodations should be confirmed for the particular date.

The profile says that Larissa has 12 years of experience and lists training or work at Cevicheria Lisbon, award-winning Soeta in Brazil and Costa Crociere ships, along with education at IGA Culinary Institute of America. It also identifies her as the founder of Oh! Sweet Café in Lisbon. Her official chef website describes more than ten years in professional kitchens in Brazil, Portugal and on European cruise ships, and names Mediterranean, Latin American and contemporary influences. These details help explain the background presented for the service; they do not substitute for discussing the requirements of a specific event.

There is limited negative feedback in the Airbnb reviews visible on the page: the comments displayed are positive. That should be read narrowly. The visible reviews do not provide much detail about price, portion sizes, minimum guest numbers, setup and cleanup, travel outside the listed area, or how every allergy or dietary restriction can be handled. The Airbnb listing says final pricing depends on the menu, guest count, style of service and event requirements, and that custom menus are priced on request. Those points are practical questions to settle rather than reported complaints.

Before booking, it is sensible to confirm the address and travel availability, event start and finish times, number and ages of guests, menu and serving sequence, allergies and dietary needs, ingredients, drinks, equipment, table setup, cleanup, and what is included in the quoted price. Ask for the total cost and any minimum booking amount in the current listing, because prices can change with the selected menu and requirements. The page states that cancellation at least three days before the start time qualifies for a full refund; customers should review the live policy and booking terms before paying. Airbnb advises keeping communication and payment on its platform.

Overall, the public material presents Larissa Castro as an experienced private chef offering flexible, tailored food experiences in Lisbon, with options ranging from brunch and afternoon tea to private meals and celebrations. The visible Airbnb feedback is consistently enthusiastic about adaptation to preferences, flavour, presentation and a warm manner of hosting. The evidence is limited to a small number of reviews on one booking platform and the chef’s own service information. It supports a positive impression of the offer, while leaving practical booking details to be confirmed directly for each event.
