Top Porto Cooking Classes

Great workshop hosted by Mike and Rui. We were able to make some great pasteis de natas and at the end of the workshop we were told the history of the pastel de nata followed by getting to eat them. If you're looking for a fun not too serious class this is the one for you!

Amazing experience learning how to make pastel de nata desserts from scratch! Vanessa was a friendly host and great teacher who made the afternoon interactive and immersive every step of the baking journey. The class also included vinho verde, story telling and spending time with fellow tourists from around the world. After completing it, I now have a deeper appreciation for the elaborative process that goes into these tasty treats. It is a lovely way to spend an afternoon and for me personally, the perfect and sweet send off to a week well spent in Porto. Keep up the great work, God Bless!

Recently, while in Porto, Portugal, we took this cooking class with Chef Tania, with her spouse Tomas assisting, and wow… what an experience from start to finish. The day began with a tour of Mercado do Bolhão with Tomas, where we met another couple participating in the class. We shared wine, tried sardines for the first time, and learned more about the market and Portuguese food culture. It was the perfect way to start the experience. After the market tour, we walked over to the apartment for the cooking class, and let me tell you — everything was flawless. We’ve had the privilege of taking cooking classes in private locations in Paris, Budapest, Italy, and India, and out of all of them, the attention to detail and overall execution of this class was by far the best. Chef Tania was incredibly hands-on, welcoming, and engaging throughout the entire experience. She encouraged questions, made everyone feel completely at ease, and created such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Having recently moved to Lisbon a few months ago, I especially loved being able to ask a real Portuguese chef questions about cooking and ingredients, and she was so generous with her knowledge. We learned so much, laughed a ton, ate incredibly well, and left genuinely excited to recreate the dishes at home. I truly cannot recommend this class enough. It was one of the highlights of our time in Porto.
