It starts with the sound of ice in the glass, the freshness of citrus, and your first sip of a Portonic — light, refreshing, and unexpected! Combining a Portonic cocktail with a Pastéis de Nata baking class creates a unique experience in Portugal — where tradition meets fun in a relaxed way. As the class unfolds, the atmosphere shifts from the clink of glasses to the smell of buttery pastry in the oven. Hands in the dough, conversations around the table, and that quiet anticipation as everything comes together. And then, the moment everyone waits for — your Pastéis de Nata, fresh out of the oven. Golden, warm, slightly caramelised on top. Where else have you ever tried Pastéis de Nata this fresh? They taste different when you’ve made them yourself. Better, somehow.

We keep the atmosphere small, welcoming, and hands-on, so everyone is involved and comfortable throughout the class. And then, of course, comes the question we hear all the time: “Can we save them for tomorrow?” Our answer is always the same — these are the best Pastéis de Nata you’ll have, because you made them yourself… so eat them fresh. If you feel like having more tomorrow, you already know what to do — make them again. That’s exactly how we want you to leave The Kitchen: confident, proud, and already thinking about the next batch.
