What makes this experience special? These aren’t recipes created for tourists — they come from a real Portuguese family kitchen. Inspired by Avó Lurdes, grandmother of The Kitchen’s founder, Joana, this class celebrates home, family, warmth and generosity. These recipes have been shared around our family table for generations. You’ll discover Portuguese cuisine beyond restaurant menus, including comforting dishes that families cook at home but visitors rarely have the opportunity to taste. Dessert carries a piece of family history: Avó Lurdes’ original handwritten Chocolate Salami recipe is proudly framed in The Kitchen. Around our shared table, food is accompanied by Portuguese wines carefully selected to pair beautifully with the dishes. This isn’t about fine dining or complicated techniques. It’s about discovering Portugal through the food we grew up with and something at the heart of our culture: welcoming people, feeding them well and bringing everyone together around the table.

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.
