  • What to offer... and what not to offer? Products from your company or traditional products from your own country of origin are always welcome. Generic products, such as chocolates or pens, are not a good option. 
  • To whom? If you are meeting with only two or three people, you should offer gifts to all those whoa re present. If you are meeting with a large group of people, you may offer gifts only to your contact and the company's CEO (or a Board member who is present).

USEFUL INFORMATION

BUSINESS DINNER

  • Where should you sit? Ideally, you should wait for other people to sit down;  Another good idea would be leaving the table's centre free. 
  • Dress code: Since this is a formal dinner, the meeting will also require a full business suit.
  • Drinks: A drink is usually had before and after dinner. You will make a good impression if you order a glass of Port wine, a traditionally Portuguese product.
