This was a first pastry cooking class for us! First time visiting Lisbon, first time making Pastel de Nada. Beatrice was an amazing teacher and helped us perfect our pastry puffs and custard. Our deserts turned out perfect and tasted SO good!! She also gave us a in depth historic background of the beginnings of this wonderful tasting Portuguese treat. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to take a pastry class. Thank you Beatrice!

Excellent workshop! Staff very friendly. Pastries were excellent. Got to meet a bunch of new people. Clean and well organized!!!
The Pastel de Nata cooking class was fantastic! The instructor was great, gave easy to follow instructions and demonstration. Our pastry came out beautiful and tasted even better! I cannot wait to try to recreate at home.
This was a super informative hands on class and the group was a cross section of ages/ genders and nationalities. A good time had by all!
I loved the cooking class so much! Such a cool way to get some hands on experience of Portuguese culture. Our host Martha was also incredible! The class was perfect and it was so fun working in pair with our friends. I also loved that the provide you recipe cards at the end so you can just focus on the experience during the class.
great experience, while not skilled in baking, the home bakery team gave an expert display and helped us in creating our own pastries. our group was mixed from young to old and got along great. highly recommend this experience
It was easy to follow Deiogo was really nice and welcoming he helped make this experience very enjoyable
A true highlight of our trip to Portugal! The Pastel de Nata class was a fun, authentic, and memorable experience. Our instructor was welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable, making everything easy to follow even for beginners.
We loved that it was hands-on—we got to make Portugal’s famous Pastéis de Nata ourselves and enjoy them fresh out of the oven. They were warm, crispy, creamy, and absolutely delicious.
The class was a perfect mix of culture, history, and food, and gave us both a great memory and a new skill to take home. If you’re in Lisbon and want something beyond typical sightseeing, BOOK THIS CLASS! Perfect for couples, friends, families, or solo travelers. 🇵🇹❤️
Excellent hosts, guide you through the process. You get to eat what you make.
A great way to meet other people.
Come in a group and make your own fun. Our chef instructor made this feel extremely rushed and impersonal. He almost seemed aggravated with being there. At the end, we had to ask for the port and got a small shot glass half full. Not what was expected or represented at all.
Again, bring your own party.
Fun and delicious experience even as a solo traveler. Nice to bring home a taste of Portugal. Chef was very engaging. Class was easy to follow along.
We had a wonderful time making pastel de Nata at the cooking class. We are a family of five with three kids ages eight, 10 and 13. The kids had a great time and our chef was patient in detailed. I would highly recommend this experience!
Had a great time learning to make pasties de nata. Fun atmosphere, easy instructions, and delicious results! Great for a group or solo!
Such a fun experience! Our chef was adorable and so sweet! Was so great to meet new people and learn a new skill!
We had a great time at our baking class. Instructions were very clear and help was provided when needed. And I can now successfully recreate Pastel de Nata for my friends and family.
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.
We throughly enjoyed the class. The instructor was very easy to follow and the pastries came out lovely. The instructor was very kind and accommodating when we arrived late. We definitely recommend this experience!
Great activity with a lively and lovely team! As a bonus, you get i sights into the history of the pastry and you can buy the forms!
Do not book this. I scheduled a booking a week prior I received a notification that it was canceled. I tried to rebook and it said they were full so I booked a different class with another company then the day prior I was charged. I have tried reaching out to let them know they cancelled my booking and I therefore booked with someone else and to not charge me. They charged me $198 and will not respond to any of my messages
This was such a fun class! I learned some fun tips about baking in general, which is exciting, and my mom and I made some delicious pastels de nata! We had a wonderful time and I can’t wait to show friends when I get home!
This was a fun class with some history and tips. And of course, a delicious ending. I wish we had more time to take another class
Take this, be patient with yourself and have fun! Our pastries were quite good! I would recommend that you wait a few minutes before you eat your very yummy freshly cooked treats! Let them cool down a bit
This is a must!!! Francisco was amazing! He guided us along as we made our very own pasteis de nata! This a fun something to do when in Lisbon that you can then try to duplicate at home. 5 Stars!!!
Great cooking class! Marta was amazing! Explained everything! Pastel da Nata were delicious! Highly recommend!
The class was good and pastries delicious. The room is loud and sound reverberates all around. There was another class going on consecutively with ours. I could not hear 50% of what our instructor was saying. It was nerve wracking and detracted greatly from what, otherwise, would have been wonderful. If you have any hearing impairments or cannot handle lots of auditory stimulation, maybe find a different class. If they would put up a wall with some fabric to absorb sound between the groups, I bet it would help greatly.
This is a great way to learn hands on how the best Portuguese pastry is made. Highly recommend for solo or groups. The instructor was very helpful and easy to follow. I was surprised how easy it was to make.
Miguel was an excellent teacher! My friend and I both had prior baking skills, yet he gave us some helpful tips that we will definitely be using in the future. The pastel de natas were delicious and i love that I will be able to make them for my friends and family back home.
Fantastic cooking class, our chef was so great and explained everything so well we really enjoyed. Would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time making pasteis de nata! It was a great setup and lovely that we got to keep a few for ourselves. Highly recommend.
Wonderful experience and great presentation. A definite must for anyone interested in baking and local culture.
A fun learning experience. Beautiful and very clean kitchen. A fun time with a delicious reward for our efforts.
