Our pastry class with Vanessa was absolutely wonderful — simply perfect in every way. She was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience fun and easy to follow. Her passion for pastry truly shows, and she made everyone feel comfortable and engaged.
Not only did we learn so much, but we also laughed, enjoyed every moment, and created delicious treats. This class became one of the highlights of our trip and made it truly memorable. We can’t recommend Vanessa highly enough — it was an unforgettable experience!

We had a great time cooking in the kitchen. It was a family celebration for my birthday and we all had great fun making and eating the Pastel da nata’s

This was a lovely experience making natas. It was very good fun and the host was a delight!
Do note, you aren't them individually from scratch, but rather, everyone takes turns to get involved in the steps for one big batch.

Outstanding experience-Clara was a fantastic host-chef-teacher. Learned how to bring a taste of Porto back home and Pastel de Nata is delicious. Highly recommend!
Cindy_S, Aug 2026
Very enjoyable experience, having never made natas from scratch. The host (I forgot her name, I'm afraid) was lovely, explaining all about the traditional pastries while getting the participants of the workshop involved in making them. The hardest part was waiting for the Natas to bake and cool down enough to eat!

This was my first cooking class in a foreign country and it was amazing. Clara was very passionate about pastel de nata. It was very interactive and a small group which made it fun. I highly recommend this class.

It was a wonderful and immersive class. Each individual got a chance to be part of the baking process. Vanessa was a wonderful and kind human who taught us with love and humour. We would highly recommend this class.
Sandra_A, Jul 2026
Fantastic! Vanessa's engaging banter kept us laughing throughout. Everyone had a turn at assisting with/completing several steps of making both pastry and custard. Lots of opportunity to chat with other travelers while sipping vino verde, water or iced tea. Highly recommend!
Janine_S, Jul 2026
It is fun interacting with other couples. The baking is hands on! Loved it! Nice to be able to sample afterwards and then bring some home! Our instructor was very knowledgeable and high energy!
Melissa_G, Jul 2026
Vanessa was such a great instructor! So fun,
and so funny! My class was pretty small which I personally loved. And the pasteis de Nata were incredible!!
Joseph_K, Jul 2026
Terrible and don't recommend at all. Total waste of time and very unprofessional. Just a scam period.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Good afternoon, our participation rules and booking conditions are clearly stated before and after booking the activity: all clients must arrive before the start of the class, as entry after it has started is not permitted. The rules apply to all participants, not just some. Most arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to check in, wash and disinfect their hands, and familiarize themselves with the space. We allow 5 minutes of tolerance, and even then you arrived well after.
The only way to guarantee quality service to our clients and stability in working hours and schedules for our employees is by implementing the pre-established rules and not giving in to absurd pressure from those who do not comply with the pre-established rules. That's what it means to be professional.
Best regards

Clara gave us a spectacular lesson. We were lucky enough to be the only attendees that morning, she took the time to properly explains and allowed us to be really hands on. I feel I can really cook the nata now, which is amazing. Thank you Clara, and good luck for your future!
