Thoroughly enjoyable...

Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Small group of 8 people and a fantastic host that taught us all with skill and humour. The wine flowed, everyone played a part in making the pastel de natas and the end result was very tasty. If you like to have a crack at some baking, enjoy eating and drinking then this is for you.

Loved our special time at this workshop!

The workshop was very well organized, and each of participants got ample attention from the facilitators without feeling rushed or pushed! We loved that they explained the history of the tiles as well. All of the facilitators were warm, friendly and helpful, but I’d like to make a special call out to Maria and Bea who were very engaging with us! Thank you to the team at Boiler Studio for making this a memorable experience for my parents and me! ❤️

An Absolutely Amazing Experience!

What an unforgettable culinary experience in Porto, Portugal! Chef Afonso was absolutely amazing! His passion for Portuguese cuisine and culture truly shined throughout the entire experience. He explained everything beautifully, from the ingredients and traditional cooking techniques to the fascinating history and culture behind each dish. The visit to the local market was the ultimate highlight! Experiencing the sights, aromas, fresh ingredients, and vibrant atmosphere made us feel like true locals rather than tourists. Chef Afonso was knowledgeable, engaging, patient, and genuinely passionate about sharing his culinary heritage. This was so much more than a cooking class—it was a beautiful journey through Portugal’s food, traditions, and culture. If you’re visiting Porto, this experience is an absolute MUST! Thank you, Chef Afonso, for making our time in Portugal even more memorable! 🇵🇹❤️

Chef Led Porto Market Tour and Portuguese Tapas Class with Wine

Joseph_D, Oct 2026

A Must Activity in Porto (if you enjoy cooking)

It was one of the best experiences we’ve had in our travels. Anna, as an Australian Ex-pat, knew what we wanted/needed to know on our visit to Porto as well as what would be a unique experience. She is funny and practical which made cooking so very enjoyable. The visit to the Market was lovely (we went back later as well). The use of a kitchen space in a boutique hotel for our cooking and meal was fun venue. We highly recommend this experience and Anna as a guide/chef!

Elisabeth_B, Oct 2026

We had a great morning...

We had a great morning making Pastéis de Nata! Luiz and Rui were excellent, both really funny and made the whole experience very relaxed and enjoyable. We learnt quite a bit about the history of the pastries as well as how to make them, which was really interesting. The class was good fun from start to finish, with plenty of laughs along the way. The Porto wine was a nice touch and our finished pastries were absolutely delicious! Really pleased we booked this and would thoroughly recommend it if you’re visiting Porto.

Porto Pastel de Nata Small-Group Workshop with Glass of Wine

Felicia_S, Oct 2026

Baking Pastel de Nata with a pro!

The instructor, Clara, was exceptional. She was very pleasant, easy going, easy to understand, engaging all 6 of us in the preparation of the pastel de natas. We each took turns, and with her helpful guidance, she instructed us in the individual steps required to complete the task in the 2.5 hours. The pastel de natas were DELICIOUS and we even got to take some with us. There was green wine & tea as well on the table for us to partake. I would totally refer others to take this baking class, even if you’ve never baked before. Clara was delightful! There was some difficulty in arranging the exact location but eventually it was resolved and everything worked out just fine. Highly recommend.

Great cooking class

Tania, the chef was outstanding! We always search out cooking classes when we travel and this experience did not disappoint. The steps were easy to follow and the food came out great and was delicious. Tomas, Tania's husband was also a great source of knowledge about the wines that accompanied the dishes. A not to be missed experience in Porto!

Private Porto or Farm-to-Table Experience & Cooking Class

Annie_B, Sept 2026

One of the best meals of my life

It was a joy to learn to cook authentic Portuguese food with Heitor! He welcomed us into his beautiful home, took us on a tour of the historic building and farm, then set us to work! We made an incredible 5-course meal that rates in my top 5 most delicious meals of all time. You get to choose your menu from a variety of options depending on what sounds good, which was nice. We made so much food that we left totally stuffed. All the dishes were great but the “fish a portuguesa” was particularly exceptional and featured the best tomato I’ve ever eaten in my life. I’m excited to try to recreate it at home (he emails the recipes too). Heitor also grows grapes to make his own wine, and we got to drink (lots of) his amazing vinho verde with the meal! It was delicious, easy drinking and we left a bit tipsy. The farm is located about 50 minutes outside of Porto but was easy to get to via either uber or train (we did uber one way then took the train back). I would recommend this to anyone visiting Porto who is interested in a meaningful, authentic cooking experience. Note that the class took about 5 hours total so don’t try to cram other scheduled activities on the same day.

Porto: Pastel de Nata Cooking Class with Porto Wine (Lapa)

REBECCA_L, Jul 2026

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.

Portuguese Cooking Class in Porto with Portuguese Wine

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.
