Great cruise ship excursion

Our chef Maham was a very good instructor and was so patient with all of us at different cooking levels. Such a fun experience while we traveled on a cruise ship. A great way to sample the national pastry and get the recipe to try and recreate it at home.

Pastel de Nata Pastry Class: Bake and Enjoy Your Own Treats

Brittney_L, Aug 2026

10/10 experience and one of our favorite memories from Portugal!

A true highlight of our trip to Portugal! The Pastel de Nata class was a fun, authentic, and memorable experience. Our instructor was welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable, making everything easy to follow even for beginners. We loved that it was hands-on—we got to make Portugal’s famous Pastéis de Nata ourselves and enjoy them fresh out of the oven. They were warm, crispy, creamy, and absolutely delicious. The class was a perfect mix of culture, history, and food, and gave us both a great memory and a new skill to take home. If you’re in Lisbon and want something beyond typical sightseeing, BOOK THIS CLASS! Perfect for couples, friends, families, or solo travelers. 🇵🇹❤️

Our favorite experience...

Our favorite experience of our honeymoon trip! Patricia and Elsa made us feel so comfortable cooking the new dishes, it felt as if cooking with family. They provided great stories and details about Portuguese culture and cuisine and the wine was fantastic as well. A very welcoming and friendly experience, and sitting down to eat the food we made and converse with them was one of our favorite meals of the whole trip. Could not recommend this enough!

Great for beginners and experienced home cooks

Miguel is an excellent instructor. It was great doing a group cooking session with other travellers from various parts of the world. A nice selection of dishes were represented with more recipes made available to us. The techniques demonstrated can easily be adapted to other dishes. There was a wide range of cooking skills within our group with Miguel making everyone in the group feel comfortable and able to participate.

Private Lisbon Market Tour & Portuguese Cooking Class with Paula

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!

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.

We had the BEST time at this Pastel de Nata baking class! We went on my daughter’s birthday as a group of 6. It was such a fun time! Our host was so engaging and skilled. He made the baking seem super easy and our Pasteis de Nata turned out to be DELICIOUS! The best we had our entire trip!! Well worth the time!

Private Traditional Portuguese Cooking Class in Lisbon with Paula

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🩷

Great wine tasting experience

Great wine testing coupled with a fantastic story about Porto's wine and its historical background, alongside with what you should eat to get the best tasting combination possible. You get to taste 3 wines, a great dry white wine and 2 red wines. They tasted so good I ended up buying one :)

Pastel de Nata Workshop in Lisbon

Emma_W, Sept 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.
