The overall experience was amazing! The hospitality was also amazing and very comfortable. The view was even better than the online picture. The food was delicious too. Overall, a fantastic way to spend an evening. We were joined by 4 additional people with our party of 5 and it was lovely too. Highly recommend the experience.

We really enjoyed this experience! Participating in preparing the meal was so fun. Everything was well planned and orchestrated for a successful outcome. Meeting other travelers was great, and the lovely chef was engaging and masterful. And the dinner? Best on our trip!

Rebecca and Laurent were very welcoming in their beautiful home with spectacular views. I enjoyed their story of living in a family home surrounded by other family members. The food we prepared was delicious (onion tart, ravioli in butter sage sauce and lemon tiramisu - YUM!). The conversation with our hosts and fellow students was delightful. If I had time I would do it again.

A Sublime Evening in Nice

Lanette_K, May 2026

Fabulous experience and amazing views!

Barbara_G, May 2026

Honest review from young couple

Sedona_B, May 2026

My husband and I did this cooking class on our honeymoon. The couple who hosted it was very kind, and the food turned out great. That said, we were expecting a livelier, more upbeat experience. If you’re looking for a high-energy class with a party vibe and lots of wine, this isn’t that type of experience—it’s much more laid-back. However, if you’re hoping for a low-key class with beautiful views and good food, you would probably still really enjoy it.

Spectacular cooking event

It was an exquisite setting and the view was spectacular!! We picked lemons off the tree. The chef and her husband were delightful. Our evening was perfect in every way.

Shelby_B, Apr 2026

10 out of 10. Such a great experience, we made friends and learned new traditional French cuisine. Would recommend it to any one traveling to the South of France and wanting to experience culture outside of the hustle and bustle of the city.

Cooking with views

Fun cooking class in Los Cabos

Candace_G, Dec 2025

I did this cooking class with a friend while on vacation. I would absolutely come back and do it again. Very well organized and the food and drinks were great! The host was lovely, we a actually we to his home to cook. His wife was great and their home was beautiful. 10/10 :)

I did not learn anything new

Nick_S, Nov 2025

I think this would only be suitable for beginning cooks, but the host never asked our level of experience

Loved it! Great for solo traveler

Michelle_M, Nov 2025

What a special evening! I’m traveling solo for a couple of days and wanted to find something local and authentic here in Nice. This was a wonderful time full of conversation and fun! Rebecca showed me some easy recipes as we created dinner. We pulled some chard from her garden, created our own dough (who knew it was so easy?!), and whipped up a tiramisu. Her garden and lemon trees were lovely. I would highly recommend an evening with them! I took an Uber from my hotel (about 15 min drive) and then followed the instructions for entering the gate to their home. It was already dark when I arrived, but the lights of Nice were beautiful from their patio. It was easy to get an Uber home too!

Dinner at a local families home

Cooking Class

Robert_P, Sep 2025

The host and family were wonderful and their home and surrounding views were beautiful! It would have been helpful if the description included samples of French Mediterranean cuisine and a choice of dishes that we might be preparing, however it was a wonderful experience.

Our initial class on a...

Scott_W, Aug 2025

Our initial class on a Saturday was canceled but we were able to rebook for the day before. A bit frustrating as we were getting in on Friday and didn’t want to rush, but this was something my wife and I were looking forward to so we rebooked for Friday. Not a big deal. When we showed up for the cooking class on Friday, there was no one home. We waiting until the start time to go down like requested in the booking notes and when we got down to the house, there was clearly no one there. We didn’t get any communication about this being canceled. In fact, we were getting regular updates from Viator saying “your cooking class is today!” Terrible job communicating

Gorgeous views, beautiful...

Dayna_D, Aug 2025

Gorgeous views, beautiful home and fantastic hosts! The food was delicious and it was a lovely experience meeting other travelers. I highly recommend this experience!

The best thing we did in Nice!

Valerie_N, Aug 2025

The hosts were incredible! They were kind and taught us so many little tips on how to make true niçoise recipes. Their home and hospitality was worth every penny.

Wonderful experience!

Cory_B, Aug 2025

Wonderful evening with Rebeccca and Laurent- it was such a delightful time that contrasted with everything else we’ve done in our trip! So fun to be in a French home and visit with them and make an amazing meal. Our family loved it! Rebecca even accommodated my daughter’s dairy allergy! Loved everything about it but wish it was a tad cheaper.
