This cooking class experience was everything and more than we were expecting. Our teacher, Beatriz did such an amazing job guiding us through the menu (Cod Fish Dish, Pork Dish, Rice Dish, Egg Dish, and Dessert!) and helping the group produce an amazing meal!! My friends and I loved this class and Beatriz, as she was very friendly and personable! 100% would recommend to anyone looking to immerse yourself in Portuguese culture through food! They even sang Happy Birthday, which was a nice and welcome surprise. I can’t say enough good things!

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.

This is a very fun cooking class. Miguel was our instructor. He did an amazing job and helped the class have fun.
Highly recommend this class.

Great way to meet other people as this is a group cooking class with fellow travelers. The instructions were easy and there was plenty of food for everyone to enjoy.

What an incredible way to experience Portuguese cooking! We had the best time trying new dishes and meeting new friends.

We ended up having to switch our date because of circumstances that were out of our control and Viator was so accommodating. Our chef Pedro was amazing. He was very welcoming and patient. His instructions were easy to follow and he gave us great advice and demonstrated excellent techniques. I would recommend this experience to all!

I really enjoyed this experience and would highly recommend it! The kitchen is modern, clean, and well-organized. When you arrive to the class, the ingredients are all portioned out (cooking show style) for you to work in pairs. There were solo traveler. We all vibed and they had just as much fun as everyone else. Miguel, our instructor was friendly and kind. We made 4 dishes and pastel de nata. The food was flavorful and fun to make. One traditional dish (Bacalhau à Brás) was rehydrated dried, salted cod with potatoes, onions, and boiled eggs. Um…not a combination I have to have ever again. But, it’s better than is sounds and we had so much fun with everyone. The other guests drank a ton of wine and they kept everyone’s glass full. I don’t drink, but the mango juice was yummy. I do wish they reminded people to wash their hands more. If you are a germaphobe, beware. You are eating food your classmates prepare. I washed my hands at least 5-7 times. Some people washed just once. A simple sign with handwashing suggestions would help. But, still, it deserves my 5⭐️ because these are very “me” issues. Book it! Do it for the plot and pics!

We organised the experience as a surprise for a friend. Our host Theresa was most welcoming and made it a special occasion singing happy birthday as we arrived! We all loved the cooking experience and would definitely do it again.

This was a great way to learn more about Portuguese food while interacting with other travelers. Instructor was engaging and spoke excellent English. The class is located at a bus stop making it easy to get to. Highly recommend!

What a great way to feel like you are experiencing Lisbon, not just observing Lisbon. The best part was the relaxed atmosphere and visiting eigh other group members. It was a great way to exchange information and travel tips.
Mabel_G, Jan 2026
This was such a fun experience! Miguel was very kind, knowledgeable, and explained the cooking steps so well that they were easy to follow. It was very child friendly too. I would definitely recommend this experience in Portugal.
Grayson_S, Dec 2025
Stress-free, easy going and fun cooking class, Pedro our instructor was amazing, he taught how to cook traditional Portugese meals in a way we won’t forget, extremely knowledgable guy! Would recommend this for anyone new to Portugese food, also would recommend checking with the company to ensure which location you are at as there are two different locations, Viator gave us the address for the location we weren’t supposed to be at, it was no biggie though just be mindful!
Ambika_A, Dec 2025
We absolutely loved our time and would recommend it to anyone who enjoy cooking, eating and knowing more about Portuguese cuisine.
Maranda_M, Dec 2025
This Lisbon cooking class was a fantastic experience. I was able to try truly authentic dishes that I likely never would have tasted outside of the class, and every dish was delicious.
I really enjoyed the communal atmosphere and connecting with others during the experience. Learning about Lisbon’s history and how it relates to the dishes we prepared added an extra layer that made the class even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to enjoy great food while gaining a deeper appreciation for Lisbon’s culture.

We could not have asked for a better experience with this cooking class. The food was great, recipes were fantastic, and everyone had a wonderful time. We had two kids with us as well, ages 10 and 12. It was perfect for them too.

We did an 11am lunch class with my husband and adult son and daughter. The facility was clean, modern and inviting. Our chef/teacher Beatriz was engaging and personable—sharing insights about the food and culture and personalized it with amusing stories about her family and life. We learned a lot, had fun and enjoyed the fruits of our labor. Highly recommend!
Robin_K, Oct 2025

Such a fun way to experience the food of Lisbon. The class was fun and informative. Not only did we get cooking tips, we got lots of recommendations for restaurants in the area.
Cecilia_B, Oct 2025
Super fun and a great way to meet new people and get to know Portuguese food and culture! Our teacher was super engaging and guided us expertly through the cooking without doing everything herself. And the food was DELICIOUS at the end!
Natasha_J, Oct 2025
This was an absolute blast. We would recommend this 100%. From the friendliness, to the cleanliness, to the organisation of the night and to most importantly the cooking!
Chandler_O, Oct 2025

Jacqueline_H, Oct 2025
Fun evening! We learned a lot about the history and traditions of Portuguese cooking. It was a very “hands on” experience!
Julian_H, Oct 2025
The class was thoroughly enjoyable and easily worth the price.
Our host, Miguel, was exceptionally hospitable from start to finish, making the entire time not only educational but genuinely amusing and engaging for everyone.
The venue itself was perfect: well equipped and modern spacious, easily accommodating the seven of us who attended without feeling cramped.
The class atmosphere was relaxed and generous. We were continuously offered a great selection of wine, beer, and soft drinks, along with lovely portuguese snacks before and during the cooking process.
This was a five-star cultural and culinary experience. Highly, highly recommended!
Lee_B, Sept 2025
This was fun! Was a great way to do something different in Portugal and learning how to make pastel de nata was wonderful.
Marisol_R, Sept 2025
We had a wonderful time with our culture knowledgeable Chef. The venue is very inviting, clean and well prepared. The venue was a lovely modern room in a good neighborhood, but not in the Lisbon City Center. We took a taxi to get there and we took a bus to get back to the city center. Both were easy to do. The meal we prepared was worth the money, we had: wine of our choice and appetizers. We made the famous Natas dessert, bacalhau, short ribs, fried eggs, delicious potatoes, and rice and beans.
Juice and water were available and we had delicious liqueurs to sample after our meal. The meal and the experience are worth the money.
