What are people saying about Lisbon

Ti_C, Jul 2026

Cooking class with Paula

I really enjoyed my day with Paula, seeing the streets of Almada (specifically Cacilhas) and spending time cooking local dishes. It was great to learn about the history of the town and its evolution over the years she has lived there. Visiting a local food market, supermarket and butcher was a great way to become familiar with the ingredients for the dishes made and experience the place like a local! The day was filled with good conversation, useful kitchen hacks and flavoursome dishes. I cannot thank Paula enough for her hospitality and look forward to testing the dishes and using the tricks she taught me back home!

Lisbon Market and Food Tour with Cooking Class and Lunch

Stacy_G, Jul 2026

Do this tour!

I had a great experience on this tour! Going to the local fish market and veggie stand was such an incredible experience, especially because I live in the Midwest of the United States, where it is difficult to find fresh fish. We made so many incredible dishes. The grilled sardines were my favorite. I took this tour on 7/7/26, and unfortunately I don’t remember the name of our chef. She was great though.

Such a fun class and...

Such a fun class and yummy food! The dishes were absolutely perfect to prepare, cook, and eat! Miguel was such a great teacher and he taught us so much about the history of Portugal and its incredible cuisine. We had a great group with the best energy and I cannot stress enough how this class was such a highlight of our trip!

This was a great...

This was a great experience! I do not have much baking experience, but the step-by-step instructions allowed my friend and I to successfully bake delicious pasteis de nata! Would highly recommend this activity as a different kind of cultural experience, especially on a hot day in Lisbon as the kitchen was nice and cool!

Fun, informative and highly recommended

A fantastic experience from start to finish. The class was fun, informative, and very hands-on. Everything was explained clearly and shared some history while guiding us through the baking process. The small group atmosphere made it easy to ask questions and get involved. I would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Lisbon. A great way to spend a few hours and leave with new baking skills.

Portuguese flavors in a typical village home

AnneCathrin_D, May 2026

Would absolutely do it again!

I had a wonderful time at Katija’s cooking class in a charming village near Lisbon. We learned how to make a delicious traditional feijoada and an amazing dessert, all while discovering more about Portuguese food, culture, and local ingredients. What made this experience truly special was Katija herself. She created such a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that it felt less like a cooking class and more like spending time with friends. The instructions were easy to follow, the food was fantastic, and the whole experience felt very authentic. The best part? After we finished cooking and eating, we stayed for hours chatting, sharing stories, and enjoying each other’s company. Those conversations were just as memorable as the food itself. If you’re looking for a genuine local experience, great food, and wonderful company, I can highly recommend Katija’s cooking class. It was one of the highlights of my time in Portugal.

Great experience!

My son suggested that we do this cooking class. It was a great experience and very fun. The chef Flavio was very nice, welcoming. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and cooking style of the Portugal people (he was from Brazil). We were in a group of 5 including my son and me. The other three guests (family) were great. Very friendly people which made the evening great. After we prepared our meal Flavio ate dinner with us.

Private Traditional Portuguese Cooking Class in Lisbon with Paula

Susan_J, May 2026

Approachable, delicious fun cooking!

Paula is a most gracious and knowledgeable teacher! I’ve taken many cooking classes and she taught me several tricks I’d never learned before. She caters to what your preferences are regarding protein selection, spices and flavor profiles. I personally enjoyed the 1:1 lesson but could easily recommend having another person . Paula made sure I performed many of the tasks and used the techniques she taught giving me a real sense of competence . She also allowed flexibility within the recipes giving variations I could use at home. The ingredients were all very fresh and obtainable back in the USA. One of the best parts was it was fun! I mean she keeps the joy within the class. She truly loves food and cooking which shows in her teaching. I’m most anxious to make these for friends when I return home. If ever in Lisbon again I’d for sure take another lesson from Paula🩷

Pastel de Nata Workshop in Lisbon

Emma_W, Sep 2025

Really lovely experience....

Really lovely experience. Filipa was really funny, informative and overall a great experience. There were only 6 of us which meant we all got a personalised part of the process. The actual pastel de natas were delicious! Would definitely recommend. The shop is also beautiful and the other staff very friendly.
