Portuguese Cooking Class in Lisbon

Bill_S, Jul 2026

Fun experience for our family

Such a fun experience! We cooked a 3 course meal, and the work was divided among the four of us (really the only way to accomplish this in a reasonable timeframe). Our chef-guide was very patient with my teenage daughter as she made her first ever custard. If you're interested in learning about & sampling some traditional Portuguese dishes, I highly recommend this tour!

Private Lisbon Market Tour & Portuguese Cooking Class with Paula

Cooking class with Paula

I really enjoyed my day with Paula, seeing the streets of Almada (specifically Cacilhas) and spending time cooking local dishes. It was great to learn about the history of the town and its evolution over the years she has lived there. Visiting a local food market, supermarket and butcher was a great way to become familiar with the ingredients for the dishes made and experience the place like a local! The day was filled with good conversation, useful kitchen hacks and flavoursome dishes. I cannot thank Paula enough for her hospitality and look forward to testing the dishes and using the tricks she taught me back home!

Do this tour!

I had a great experience on this tour! Going to the local fish market and veggie stand was such an incredible experience, especially because I live in the Midwest of the United States, where it is difficult to find fresh fish. We made so many incredible dishes. The grilled sardines were my favorite. I took this tour on 7/7/26, and unfortunately I don’t remember the name of our chef. She was great though.

Such a fun class and yummy food! The dishes were absolutely perfect to prepare, cook, and eat!

We had a great group with the best energy and I cannot stress enough how this class was such a highlight of our trip!

This was a great...

This was a great experience! I do not have much baking experience, but the step-by-step instructions allowed my friend and I to successfully bake delicious pasteis de nata! Would highly recommend this activity as a different kind of cultural experience, especially on a hot day in Lisbon as the kitchen was nice and cool!

Fun, informative and highly recommended

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.

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🩷

Authentic Portuguese Cooking Class and Dinner in a Lisbon Home

Denise_M, Apr 2026

Experiencing an evening with Chef Ze is like no other immersive cooking/dining experience. A reason to go to Lisbon!

Dining with Chef Ze in his home was the highlight of my 14 day Food & Wine tour throughout Portugal. Chef Ze welcomed the 5 of us around his cozy pre-set dining table with an appetizing presentation of 2 local cheeses, sausage, bread, tomato jam & olive oil where the first of many wines was poured & described while we learned Chef Ze’s passion for gatherings in his home & we shared our recent Portuguese experiences. The exchange flowed learning cultural facts about neighborhoods & different regions. I thoroughly enjoyed the balance of Chef Ze’s preparation of starter dishes/dessert & our hands on technique learning, tasting & cooking in the kitchen all paired with the perfect wines! Our shared passion for Portugese food & wine & life throughout the night felt more like visiting a friend. While the evening menu was established before arrival Chef Ze was like a magician throughout the night each time he opened the 70 bottle wine cooler & pulled the most divine wines taking our palates to another level. Experiencing an evening with Chef Ze is like no other immersive cooking/dining experience in the world. Memorable in every way! It is truly a reason for traveling to Lisbon.

Emma_W, Sept 2025

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.
