What an amazing experience. One of the best things we did in Lisbon. Cooking Lisbon was so fun. We prepped, cook and ate the meals we prepared. Amazingly easy to make but quite delicious recipes. The strangers we met at the beginning of the class became friends by the end of the event.

Philipa was a delight and very knowledgeable. The cooking experience was authenticly frenetic and a lot of fun! We learned some history, some culture and of course, gastronomy. We really enjoyed the company of our classmates who were mostly from the US and Canada. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience with an experienced teacher. She communicated and engaged me in the style of home-cooking which allows me to adjust recipes in my home country (based on availability of ingredients).

The atmosphere and experience were fantastic! Pedro was an excellent instructor, and the hands-on cooking was a lot of fun. The food was delicious as well.

The small group setting and accessibility of this experience, alongside spectacular, expert guidance makes this cooking class so memorable. Add to that fabulous food that wonderful chefs guide the group to prepare well, and you have a perfect experience.
Our leader from Cooking Lisbon, chef Gi, with the assistance of Fernanda, made for a spectacular, hands-on experience that offers patience, guidance, and a wonderful energy throughout the evening. Highly recommend this experience!

This was a great experience. Pedro made us very comfortable and gave us a lot of information about cuisine in Portugal. He helped the group to get to know each other and work together. We loved it.
Dolette_M, Oct 2024
Chef Pedro was so kind, patient, and understanding of food allergies, etc and created a meal that everyone could enjoy. This was our first experience doing a cooking class and it was so much fun and the food that we prepared was delicious and not difficult to make. Now, we will be able to make Portuguese dishes at home. This was a delightful evening!

Learning about Portuguese cooking from Renata. Participating in the actual cooking process. And getting to know the other participants.
Bruce_H, Oct 2024
Although the chef was great and it was a fun atmosphere, we felt the menu needed improvement as many of our dishes were mediocre at best. The class was large at 18 and it took over 2 hours to prepare our meals. I think a smaller group, with fewer dishes would be better.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the chef and the atmosphere during the class. However, we’re sorry to learn that the menu didn’t fully meet your expectations. We always strive to create an enjoyable and enriching experience for our guests, and feedback is essential to help us continue improving.
Regarding the size of the group and the time spent preparing the dishes, we understand that smaller groups can sometimes allow for more personal interaction, and we continuously review our class sizes to strike the right balance between a social experience and focused instruction.
As for the dishes, we’d love to better understand what specific aspects didn’t meet your expectations. As culinary experiences can be subjective, we’re curious if your feedback is based on a particular cultural or personal preference, or if it’s related to other experiences you’ve had. Your insights could help us refine our approach further.
Thank you again for your thoughts, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better experience next time.

Great experience. Pedro provided clear directions and was always constructive and supportive. The food was great and we laughed a lot.
Helen_L, Oct 2024
Our host chef was a delight! Everything was done with humour and ease.
Learned to make some great traditional dishes that we can’t wait to share with friends and family once home.
Nancy_B, Oct 2024
Fun time learning how to make and tasting 9 Portuguese dishes. Chef was very informative and shared the recipes.
Craig_D, Sep 2024
Fantastic meal and experience! Definitely worth doing. We created a nine course meal with everything tasting amazing! Our instructor Giu was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. Loved it!
StephanieAnderson, Sep 2024
Too many people in class. We stood around doing nothing much of the time. The chef was good but the class was too large and we didn’t sit down to eat until 10pm
Paul_W, Sep 2024
Great fun. Excellent instructor. Made new friends and enjoyed watching other couples make their part of the meal. Very good fun made by all, lots of wine. Event lasted longer than advertised because everyone was having fun.
Geoffrey_R, Sep 2024
This cooking class was fantastic! We were able to learn and cook several popular Portuguese dishes which ended in us enjoying the dinner we made. The class was great about adapting to anyone with dietary restrictions and the instructor made the class fun. Everyone was able to participate in helping make the dishes. The class came with appetizers, several entree dishes, dessert and wine for the entire class. Highly recommend this class!
Julie_W, Sep 2024

My wife and I enjoyed this cooking class. We met nice couples, cooked great food, and had lots of laughs. We recommend it.
Ivette_C, Aug 2024
Carolina the food instructor was fabulous. She explained the origin of the food we prepared and had each of us involved in the preparation of the foods. We were also able to have dinner together which was pretty nice and discuss which dish was our favorite. Vanessa and I really enjoyed the cooking class.
Kerryn_R, Aug 2024
We learnt how to make 7 different dishes which went very well together12 people was a good sized group to mix with and we shared the preparation/ cooking
Stan_D, Aug 2024
Our chefs were amazing at making everyone feel comfortable regardless of their cooking experience. They made everyone feel welcomed and included. We had a great group of participants and everyone got along well, it made preparing and eating the meal really feel like family members coming together for dinner. We did not want to leave. 🙂. I especially like to adjustment for the fish allergy. Very thoughtful.
Brittany_O, Aug 2024
Such an awesome experience and a great way to get introduced to Portugal. I highly recommend! The pastel de nata came out amazing. I would definitely do this again!
