Let the Brits do the cooking in this amazing city

claudette_c, Apr 2026
Go with an open mind and a sense of humour and be willing to complete in a group activity. Our chef was amazing so knowledgeable

Fun and informative.

JT_J, Apr 2026
This is a fun activity suitable for families, friends, couples, and solo travelers. The menu includes 10+ popular tapas, including salmorejo (chilled tomato soup), garlic shrimp, tortilla espanola, and fried calamari sandwich. There is something to accommodate most diets from vegetarian, pescatarian, and carnivores…I would check if you or someone you know is vegan. The format of the class is very informal, with dishes assigned to individuals or teams. Guidance is provided to keep things on course. Together, the class will produce a buffet meal of the 10 or so tapas, then eat together at the end. There is not a lot of demo, nor will you make all 10 dishes yourself, though the recipes will be emailed after. You can also purchase their cookbook, written in both spanish and english, for about 22 euros. You will leave the class full and better informed about the tradition of tapas. The location of the cooking school is also ideal for a post-class stroll through the shop district near Sol.

Matt_S, Sep 2025
Fun and casual. Every group works on one station while the chef supervises and the assistant helps keep it clean and stocked properly. Perhaps a little rushed at the beginning with the instructions, but overall a great time with sangria and 10 items to eat at the end.

Great experience!

Morgan_C, Sep 2025
We had the best time with Gus and his team! We made lots of dishes and some new friends and were sent with food and leftovers after. Would highly recommend for an interactive evening!

Cooking with Gus

Lusica_H, Jun 2025
Be prepared to cook, interact with others and have a good time! Gus and his assistant did a great time with teaching us how to cook and having fun doing it!

Was lovely food prepared....

Mariam, May 2025
Was lovely food prepared. Only down side is that the replacement for the sangria as a non alcoholic drink was soft drink. Considering the price difference for alcohol vs soft drink, it is a bit of a rip off. Better off to make an option for no drink, otherwise make an alternative drink that is worth the paid fee. Otherwise beautiful food and the only downside was the replacement drink.

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear Mariam, we are so sorry to hear you was not happy with the drink. We do not have a huge variety of non alocholic drinks but are you really sure price was too high for the experience? price difference between a soft drink and a glass of sangría in a bar might be no more than 1 euro. Regards

fun and delicious

Andrea_G, May 2025

Tapas Cooking Class

Ginetta_M, Oct 2024
Rosa was great teacher, enjoyable cooking class cooking Tapas and learning new hints, there was 10 of us and we all enjoyed our meals we cooked

Loads of tapas

VasylMarkus, Oct 2024
The location is a very good setup for cooking classes, and was able to accommodate a lot of participants. The cooking area is a large L-shaped space, which allowed for two groups to work on the same dish. The downside of the large space and the number of dishes (10 plus a bonus dish when I was there) is that tasks are divided. Gustavo, our chef instructor, gave good instructions but because of the number of dishes he went fast. Hopefully they will send out recipes. The other nice thing about the space is that they have an extensive bookstore of cookbooks upstairs. It's definitely worth checking out.

Response from Host, Oct 2024
