Easter at Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon is a Celebration Like No Other, and This Year It's All About Chocolate

The pastry kitchen at Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon has transformed into a “eggciting” chocolate factory, where Executive Pastry Chef Diogo Lopes and his talented team are crafting irresistible cocoa creations that promise to enchant guests of all ages.

Step into a world of chocolate wonder with the Hotel's Easter experience, featuring an unforgettable Easter Buffet Lunch, a limited-edition chocolate fava Easter Egg, a fun-filled egg hunt around the Hotel, and delicious chocolate treats to take home.

"As the General Manager of our Hotel, I am delighted to invite all our cherished guests and esteemed clients to join us in celebrating Easter," says Guilherme Costa. "Our chocolate-inspired Easter offering is designed to create magical memories, and we can't wait to welcome you for a memorable Easter experience."

The traditional Easter Buffet Lunch will be held in the Hotel's Pedro Leitão ballroom, featuring an indulgent feast for the whole family with a seafood and cold cuts station, a carving station with Serrano Kid, an exclusive cheese station with cheese from local producers from Arrábida, Beiras and Alentejo regions, to point a few. On the fun side, children can look forward to an exciting egg hunt around the Hotel, adding a touch of adventure to the day.

Lunch is priced at EUR 195 per person, including daily juice, water, and coffee; EUR 95 for children between 6 and 12 years old; and complimentary for children under six.

The Ritz Delicatessen Pop-Up Boutique will return just outside Varanda Restaurant from April 1, 2025. Showcasing this year's chocolate extravaganza, the Easter Bunny has truly outdone itself with the Hotel's special Easter Egg. Inspired by the shape and colours of a ripe cocoa bean, with shades of yellow, green, and red, this “eggstravagant” creation is made with 40% Jivara, Valrhona chocolate and is a nod to the main ingredient in the hotel’s “Chocolate Factory."  This creation, almost too beautiful to crack, is filled with enough reasons to break the egg: truffles, Rochers, almonds, and three lucky eggs will contain a Golden Surprise Ticket - resembling Willy's Wonka tale - as vouchers for other hotel offers. The price per Easter Egg is EUR 60. 

"Whether you're treating a loved one or taking home a taste of Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon, we invite you to visit our Pop-Up Boutique and explore our delectable Easter Collection," says Executive Pastry Chef Diogo Lopes.

With firm yet gentle strokes, tension melts away from the feet, preparing the body for the next stage of this soothing ritual. A full-body, chocolate-scented massage unfolds in a slow, continuous rhythm, allowing tension to dissolve and the mind to unwind and relax. EUR 195

About Jivara Valrhona Chocolate

Developed in 1995 following extensive testing, Jivara was the first milk chocolate to offer such a strong flavour with a real cocoa-rich flavour. Just as it did with its long-running work to bring out the best in dark chocolate (not least with the creation of Guanaja), Valrhona shook up the world of milk chocolate with Jivara.

Jivara is a subtle blend of cocoa aromatic profiles typical of Ecuador and Ghana. These profiles are blended to obtain Jivara’s unique and consistent flavour, which is both creamy and cocoa rich. This blend, impeccably produced since 1995, is a showcase for genuine prowess and skill.
