The experience is super relaxed, we start by sitting down and tasting a little bit of Portugal, while I give a brief explanation of what we're going to cook. Cooking while hungry is a bad policy. When we're ready, we put on our aprons and start the teamwork, under my guidance. Some of the ingredients are from my backyard, and I'll take you to see what they are... As we prepare the food, I'll tell some stories about the origins of the ingredients to be used. In the end, we set the table and sat down to savor all the dishes we've prepared. IMPORTANT: If you have any food allergies or follow a specific diet (vegetarian, paleo, vegan, etc ...) let me know as soon as possible so we can prepare in advance all the ingredients needed.

What are people saying about Lisbon

CarolDenise_M, May 2026

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🩷

Lisbon Market and Food Tour with Cooking Class and Lunch

Robert_T, May 2026

Come hungry!

We had an amazing food tour experience in Lisbon with Pablo as our guide. He was friendly, helpful, informative, and incredibly personable from start to finish. The tour included 6 different stops, each with fantastic food and drinks that gave us a great taste of the city. What really made the experience stand out was how Pablo went beyond just the food. He shared fascinating insights about Lisbon’s art, history, and architecture, which made exploring the city feel even more meaningful. He was also full of great local tips and suggestions that helped us make the most of the rest of our trip. Highly recommend this tour (and especially Pablo) to anyone visiting Lisbon!

Cooking with Bea!

It’s very interactive with the other guests! Bea was fantastic, the prep was simple/easy, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was fun. The sound with another class going on made it very difficult to hear when we were sitting at the table. Some simple sound proofing on the divided ‘wall’ would help tremendously.

Private Lisbon Market Tour & Portuguese Cooking Class with Paula

Laura_P, May 2026

A glimpse into a Portuguese lifestyle.

Paula was wonderful. Great communication and clear directions to arrive on the ferry where she met us at a nice coffee shop. We went to the local market and then back to her quaint apartment and had the most wonderful afternoon chatting and getting to know her. Yes, the food was delicious, but she was also very generous, sharing her culture and history. It was a lovely snapshot into the Portuguese daily lifestyle, which is Americans frankly we’re quite envious of. They would highly recommend this. Even after our tour, she would continue to communicate with us by WhatsApp when we had questions about Lisbon or needed recommendations.

A Fun, Hands-On Pastel de Nata Experience in Portugal

We joined Miguel’s pastel de nata cooking class as a family, along with a couple of friends, while traveling from abroad. Miguel was fun, didactic, interactive, and very knowledgeable, and we all enjoyed the experience immensely. Even better, the pastel de natas turned out surprisingly great! I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a small, personalized, and well-taught hands-on experience in Portugal.

Miguel was an excellent...

Miguel was an excellent teacher! My friend and I both had prior baking skills, yet he gave us some helpful tips that we will definitely be using in the future. The pastel de natas were delicious and i love that I will be able to make them for my friends and family back home.

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.

Pastel de Nata with Beatriz

Making Pastel de Nata from scratch was an incredible experience in Lisbon. Beatriz provided an informative history of the dessert. We had a small group of 5 which was nice! Beatriz was feeling a little bit under the weather at the time but provided a fun and light atmosphere experience nonetheless. The Pastel de Nata was absolutely delicious! Thank you so much, Beatriz!
