This cooking class was so...

Jennifer_M, Dec 2025
This cooking class was so much fun. The staff are excellent and the food was delicious. Everyone got to try multiple dishes at the end during a large group sit down dinner

Great for all ages

Erica_D, Aug 2025
I wasn’t sure how it would be with young teens as a group of rowdy drunk girls were leaving when we arrived, but the staff was absolutely fantastic and clearly knows how to manage different types of groups so that everyone has fun. Working in pairs was great, and everyone from my parents to my kids had an absolutely amazing experience. The food was perfection but cooking it together made it a memory for a lifetime. Amazing team at the Paella Club!

Absolutely awesome. Great...

Perfect Paella Experience

Fran_M, Nov 2024
We had a wonderful evening making paella. Such a fun time and the chefs were kind and knowledgeable. Loved that every pair got to cook their own type of paella.

Wonderful evening

Beth_W, Oct 2024
We attended the paella experience, which was amazing. Fernando was our chef and he was amazing. We also met the owner Alex and all the staff, who went out of their way to make our evening perfect. We loved it so much that we also booked the cocktail class the next day with Bautista, which was also amazing. Tons of food, tons of alcohol, tons of fun! Must do.

A MUST experience in Barcelona!!

Do it!!

Alanna_G, Oct 2024
AMAZING! This cooking class was so much fun! Kira made the entire thing a blast. Highly recommend taking one of these classes.

Not a professional course

Sabine_B, Sep 2024
The 'professional chef' was not professional at all. Furthermore, she was very unfriendly behind the persons and smiled in front. The course was far to expensive for what was offered.

So much fun

Nicole_S, Sep 2024
Very fun experience! So glad that we did this. You are in groups of 2 and each made a paella with great instructions. We had 7 paellas to taste and they were delicious - 2 veggie, pork, chicken, 2 seafood and black squid ink. Teachers are fun, good music and learned a lot.

Alvaro the master!

Michael_K, Sep 2024
Alvaro is so passionate about sangria, he taught us well! A don’t miss opportunity! Book it you won’t regret it!

Awesome time!

Deborah_K, Jul 2024
We had a blast! That being said we wish it had been more couples with us. We were with a bachelorette party and my husband was the only male.

Great Barcelona experience!

Martha_G, Jul 2024
Chef Bauti & crew were amazing! They created such a fun experience for us! When we arrived, we had such a warm welcome and everything was set up to get started for our cooking class. We made and shared 9 types of paella while listening to fun music and learning techniques from Bauti. My daughter and I highly recommend this experience!

Fantastic experience and so much fun! The chefs were welcoming and funny while teaching us so much. Each couple made their own and then we sat to a lovely dinner tasting each other’s dishes. Lots of wine or other drinks . I am dairy free and they accommodated my needs. What a fun night and a must do! .

Fun filled evening with delicious paella!
