A fantastic experience from start to finish. The class was fun, informative, and very hands-on. Everything was explained clearly and shared some history while guiding us through the baking process. The small group atmosphere made it easy to ask questions and get involved. I would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Lisbon. A great way to spend a few hours and leave with new baking skills.

This was such a fun class! I learned some fun tips about baking in general, which is exciting, and my mom and I made some delicious pastels de nata! We had a wonderful time and I can’t wait to show friends when I get home!

This was a fantastic class. We enjoyed making the pastel de natas almost as much as we enjoyed eating them (and there were plenty to go around). The instructions were very clear and the class was very hands on. Actually it was rolling pins on. I highly recommend this class to anyone who loves desserts and wants to learn about this traditional Portuguese pastry

We had a great time at our baking class. Instructions were very clear and help was provided when needed. And I can now successfully recreate Pastel de Nata for my friends and family.

Fun, informative and highly recommended

Great activity with a lively and lovely team! As a bonus, you get i sights into the history of the pastry and you can buy the forms!

Charged after they canceled my booking

Ondine_M, May 2026

Do not book this. I scheduled a booking a week prior I received a notification that it was canceled. I tried to rebook and it said they were full so I booked a different class with another company then the day prior I was charged. I have tried reaching out to let them know they cancelled my booking and I therefore booked with someone else and to not charge me. They charged me $198 and will not respond to any of my messages

Delicious, easy and fun!

A Fun Experience

George_S, May 2026

This was a fun class with some history and tips. And of course, a delicious ending. I wish we had more time to take another class

Yummy

Jenifer_G, May 2026

Take this, be patient with yourself and have fun! Our pastries were quite good! I would recommend that you wait a few minutes before you eat your very yummy freshly cooked treats! Let them cool down a bit

This is a must do

Daniel_C, Apr 2026

This is a must!!! Francisco was amazing! He guided us along as we made our very own pasteis de nata! This a fun something to do when in Lisbon that you can then try to duplicate at home. 5 Stars!!!

Delicious !

Melissa_G, Apr 2026

Great cooking class! Marta was amazing! Explained everything! Pastel da Nata were delicious! Highly recommend!

Loud, environment, detracts from experience

Jennifer_H, Mar 2026

The class was good and pastries delicious. The room is loud and sound reverberates all around. There was another class going on consecutively with ours. I could not hear 50% of what our instructor was saying. It was nerve wracking and detracted greatly from what, otherwise, would have been wonderful. If you have any hearing impairments or cannot handle lots of auditory stimulation, maybe find a different class. If they would put up a wall with some fabric to absorb sound between the groups, I bet it would help greatly.

Excellent class

Karen_D, Mar 2026

This is a great way to learn hands on how the best Portuguese pastry is made. Highly recommend for solo or groups. The instructor was very helpful and easy to follow. I was surprised how easy it was to make.

Katelyn_F, Mar 2026

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.

A fun learning experience. Beautiful and very clean kitchen. A fun time with a delicious reward for our efforts.

Must do!

Thuy_W, Feb 2026

Everyone should learn how to make this delicious pastry! Rita was a wonderful instructor who explained the process thoroughly. I met 2 lovely ladies in the class with whom I spent the rest of day. It was a fun and yummy way to spend 2 hours in Lisbon!

Excellent Class

Yogatrixie, Feb 2026

I learnt a lot of useful information in this short class and am looking forward to making pastéis de nata at home.

Loved HomeCooking.

Easy and fun experience

Erin_S, Jan 2026

Great, easy experience. Fun class. Beatriz was a good teacher... patient and fun. Delicious treats at the end with the pride that we did that!

Fun class to do in pairs....

Suraj_R, Jan 2026

Fun class to do in pairs. Great way to meet other travelers and learn how to make something you'll be eating several times anyways while in Lisbon. The preparation itself only takes about an hour; the rest of the time is spent mingling. Friendly instructors (I believe we had Ito?) Would recommend!

Great experience

Holger_B, Dec 2025

Nice easy class - good instructor and well equipped facility. Highly recommended. Instructor spoke good English.

A Delicious Experience

Nancy_L, Nov 2025

This is a fun, no- pressure cooking class that can be enjoyed by adults and “tweens”. Our group of 4 adults was joined by others for a “hands-on” lesson to make Pastelde Nadas. The presenter was an experienced chef who walked us through the recipe and then allowed time for us to enjoy the tarts. It was a great way to learn how to make this Lisbon delicacy and meet some very nice people , too.

Great experience

Vanessa_M, Nov 2025

An amazing experience making Natas with friends. We really enjoyed this experience. We were two families with young children and everyone, young and old, had a wonderful time. The added coffee and juice was perfection.

Great Baking Class
