Lily_T, Oct 2026

Great class, would recommend!

I had a fantastic time at the Pastel de Nata cooking class! Clara is a wonderful teacher and our natas turned out deliciously, despite drinking lots of green wine which was freely flowing and included in the class :) She also gave some great recommendations for local Portuguese food spots - one of which I went to afterwards and was fab. Would definitely recommend to everyone!

The tile painting was so...

The tile painting was so much fun. I wish I could remember the name of the young employee whose sense of humour and practical assistance made the whole experience such a good one. She was lovely! My partner and I ended up with 2 tiles framed in cork that we will definitely use at home. A great momento!

Fun Experience

This was a different kind of excursion for my husband and I and it would normally be more my type of activity than his. I like the idea of connecting with local culture and since Pastel de nada is the famed pastry of Portugal, we felt it offered a small connection to that culture. The class was a lot of fun and our instructors were great at making sure everybody took part in making the pastries. We each made three pastries. Enough to try one while we were there and to take a couple back with us along with the recipes. My husband who does no cooking at all enjoyed the class as well. I would recommend this class to anyone. Did I mention that our end results were delicious??

An absolute must-do in Porto!

Taking the Pastéis de Nata cooking class with Clara was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. From the very first minute, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and incredibly fun. - Exceptional Availability & Guidance: Clara was attentive, patient, and made sure every single participant felt confident at each step of the recipe—from laminating the buttery puff pastry to achieving that signature, perfectly caramelized custard top. - Warm & Friendly Ambiance: The hospitality was second to none. Clara's genuine kindness, amability, and passion for Portuguese pastry-making made us feel right at home in a cozy, intimate setting. - Pure Engagement: It wasn't just a demonstration; Clara's incredible ability to engage everyone made it a fully hands-on, interactive experience filled with fascinating stories, laughter, and tips that you can easily recreate back home. Eating those warm, freshly baked pastéis de nata straight out of the oven, paired with a great coffee, was pure magic. If you are looking for an authentic, engaging, and delicious cultural experience, this class with Clara comes with our highest possible recommendation!

Yummy & fun

Great fun! My friend is allergic to dairy so we did the vegan option which was nice they offered. It was great fun to see the rest of the class making the regular recipe. All of our pastries tasted excellent. Rui & Ana were great instructors. I also loved the handouts either the recipe to take home and the history of how the pastel de nata became famous. Well done.

An Incredible Experience

This was an incredible experience! We first went shopping for ingredients at the Mercado do Bolhão. Very fun! Our class then worked together to make our meal. Everyone had things to do: peeling, chopping, stirring, and more! Our chef, Hugo, was excellent! My fellow classmates were wonderful! The food was delicious. I am looking forward to making these dishes at home!

Terry is amazing. So much fun for the whole family.

We did a pastel de nata making class and Terry was absolutely amazing. I’m coeliac, and even though I had my own workstation, she made sure I felt fully included with the rest of my family the whole way through. She’s an absolute bundle of energy and even got my teenage boys involved and having fun, which isn’t always easy! I felt so spoilt. It’s not often I get to enjoy beautifully made treats like this, and these were gorgeous. The added bonus of getting to finish off the custard was a lovely touch too. Cannot thank Terry and her colleague enough for such a wonderful afternoon.

Minnesota home cooks

It was lovely! Directions to get in were a little difficult to understand but we got in on time. Jorge was fantastic. English was excellent. We four guests were all home cooks and learned something. The conversation and the wine went along with a wonderful meal. Our 3 hour event stretched on for 4 and a half hours and that was a GOOD thing. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jorge and already have when we were on a boat and wine tour the next day.

Pastry fun in Porto!!

Patricia and Maria were excellent instructors. They coached us in the proper technique’s to prepare the different components of Pastel de Nata and the end result was a wonderful pastry and whole lot of fun. The studio was spacious and comfortable and the port and champagne were delicious. Highly recommended, but only if you’re ready to have a great time.
