    This pastel de nata baking class was such a highlight of my time in Lisbon. The instructor was incredibly kind, funny, and made the class enjoyable from start to finish. The experience was hands-on, easy to follow, and full of laughs. Best of all, the pastéis de nata we made were absolutely delicious! I’d highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Lisbon who wants a fun, interactive, and tasty experience.

    Best experience ever! Chef was exceptional!! He made baking fun and informative. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative, as well as patient and kind. Highly recommend.

    Take it from a Portuguese

    Victor_S, Nov 2025
    This was my second time taking the pastéis de nata baking class, and it was just as fantastic as the first! The chef was clear, patient, and incredibly interactive, guiding us step-by-step through the process and making it easy and fun to follow along. The best part is enjoying your own fresh, warm pastéis de nata at the end—truly better than anything you can buy in a store or bakery. And I should know, I’m Portuguese! A fun, delicious, and memorable experience every time. Highly recommended

    Amazing experience

    Fun & Delicious: Pastéis Cooking Class

    Kristine_R, Sep 2025
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We took a two-hour cooking class to learn how to make pastéis, and it was such a fun experience! The chef was incredibly personable and made the class easy to follow with clear, step-by-step directions. He created a welcoming atmosphere that made the time fly by. It was the perfect mix of learning, hands-on fun, and of course — delicious results. I would definitely recommend this class for couples, friends, or really anyone interested in Portuguese cuisine. I’d happily go back and do it again myself!

    The best way to try pasteis de nata!

    This is a great activity that can be done in a few hours. Miguel is a fantastic teacher and you leave with know-how to make pasteis de nata, but also extras to eat in the days after your class!

    This was great fun. I really don’t have very many culinary skills when it come to making pastry but our host made is fun and easy. Can’t believe how well they turned out. Hoping the recipe can be sent to us so we can practice when we get home.

    What a treat!

    Andrea_E, May 2025
    Over my 10 days in Lisbon area, I tried the custard tarts from the original/famous places. The ones we baked were my favorite of the trip. Chef Miguel knows what he's doing. The class was the perfect amount of time. Thank you for this great experience!

    Excellent!

    Filomena_F, Mar 2025
    He was so personable and told us all the whys behind why you do the steps you do when making the natas. We are confident leaving this class that we can make it ourselves. It was also pouring cats and dogs outside and he offered his umbrella to us so we wouldn’t get soaked.

    Dustyn_D, Feb 2025
    Wonderful experience at this class. We attended with our young children and they were welcomed and included. Our 5 year old loved the class! Everything was very organized and the teaching was very informative and entertaining. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a shorter class that is family friendly.

    Yum, yum and so much fun!

    Cassandra_C, Feb 2025
    How could you not like this?!?! A great class (good for kids, my 9 year old had a blast!) and warm pastries to end the class?!? It was so good!!!!

    Yummy class with a great teacher

    My son and I had a great class with this teacher. He was very patient with my young child, and we all had a fun time together. The pastel de nata came out very good, so now we have to try to recreate them at home. I would take another class with this teacher.

    Miguel is an experienced pastry chef who provides clear instructions to make amazing pasteis de nata. His kitchen is in a convenient location and all directions were easy to follow. He was great with our kids too, taking time to explain the recipe and have fun. We had a wonderful time... highly recommended!

    Fun, delicious and interactive experience with a great chef!

    Jessica_C, Nov 2024
    We had an amazing time on our first morning in Lisbon, we learned all about what makes Pasteis de Nata special and were fully hands-on throughout each stage of the recipe. I got mesmerised watching them bubble away in the oven! Naturally eating them was the best part, honestly they were the best we ate the whole time we were in Lisbon - trust me we took our research seriously haha! Miguel was full of interesting and funny stories about his career and Lisbon as a city. A true gem and I would recommend his classes to anyone.

    Wow, great experience!
