Making Pastel de Nata from scratch was an incredible experience in Lisbon. Beatriz provided an informative history of the dessert. We had a small group of 5 which was nice! Beatriz was feeling a little bit under the weather at the time but provided a fun and light atmosphere experience nonetheless. The Pastel de Nata was absolutely delicious! Thank you so much, Beatriz!

What a fun experience. Bernardo is an amazing chef and teacher. Very calm and patient, answered all of our questions, and guided us throughout every step. The pasties de nata we made were so delicious. Definitely recommend taking a class here.

Fun cooking experience!

Tyler_H, Sep 2025

Beatriz was a great teacher and made learning how to make the traditional Pastel de Nata dessert fun. We ended up being the only people who signed up for the class that day, so we enjoyed the more personalized experience we had as well.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Tyler, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your class with our chef. Having the class all to yourselves must have made it even more special and personal. We hope to welcome you back soon for another sweet and memorable experience in Portugal. Thank you so much, The Lisbon Affair Team

Great Time spent as a couple

Pamela_B, Sep 2025

Enjoy an afternoon cooking the special natas and the detail that is put into these little treats. Much better tasting than eating the ones you can purchase at any of the bakeries found in Lisbon.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Pamela, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the afternoon learning how to make pastéis de nata and experiencing all the care that goes into them. It’s wonderful to hear you found your own creations even better than those from Lisbon’s bakeries - what a compliment! We’d love to welcome you back for more sweet moments in the kitchen. Thank you again, The Lisbon Affair Team

Good class however we...

Lisa_K, Aug 2025

Good class however we felt the class had too many people for a hands on experience. Location was warm and I would suggest a maximum of 10 people per class.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Lisa, Thank you for your honest feedback - we truly appreciate it. We're glad you enjoyed the class overall, and we understand your concerns regarding the group size and temperature. This year the temperatures have raised a lot. We're always working to improve, and your suggestions will definitely help us enhance the experience for future guests. It's very rare that we have our classes full, but we will definetely keep that in mind for future experiences. We hope to welcome you again for a more hands-on session! The Lisbon Affair Team

Fun and delicious

David_M, Sep 2024

An extremely enjoyable experience, both the stories and the conversations we had with our instructor as well as the beautiful Pastelle de Natas we created and enjoyed.

Amazing local food experience

Stephanie_C, Jul 2024

My 11 year old son and I had an amazing experience today with Beatriz. What a wealth of knowledge and a great personality. It was all hands on and the final product was delicious. I’ll definitely be making the Pastel de Nata at home for family and friends. Thank you for making our experience even more memorable. Cheers Stephanie PS- please send the recipe 😀

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear Stephanie, thank you so much for the wonderful Feedback. Beatriz loved meeting you too. We are glad you enjoyed this experience and are taking it home with you. We hope you had a lovely trip in Portugal and hopefully you can come back and have even more experiences. Thank you again. The Lisbon Affair Team.

No refund despite cancellation

Jesse_H, Nov 2025

I have booked on the Viator site and this has been confirmed. On the day of the course, an overbooking was reported by the organizer and it was jointly agreed to cancel the course and the money will be refunded to us. Unfortunately, the organizer did not get in touch and apparently did not care. It took me a week to get the official confirmation that we would eventually get the money back. Even now after another week and a half I have not received a refund and the organizer does not react to our messages. We will not book here again and will not recommend.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hello Jesse, you are more than right to complain about this situation. We did process the refund through the booking management platform we work with, and there it said it was fully refunded. After your complaint, I asked them for proof of the refund and just realized it showed it was done, but in fact, it was not, as it must be processed directly on the Viator platform. We apologize and are grateful for your feedback, as we learned from this, since it was our first time with a situation like this. The situation has been corrected, and the refund was done by Viator and you should receive it soon. Warm regards, Lisbon Affair Team

Manuela_H, Mar 2025

Fijne chef, goede uitleg en veel enthousiasme! Veel feitjes over de herkomst van het gerecht en de geschiedenis van Lissabon. Chef had duidelijk veel kennis en bracht dit op een gezellige en leerzame manier. Groot succes!

Dear Manuela, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the explanations, enthusiastic atmosphere, and interesting facts about the dishes and Lisbon’s history.
