Our afternoon cooking class with Mariah was fantastic - she was very personable and it made for an inviting atmosphere. We loved learning about, making and eating pastel de nata. Would recommend this experience for anyone visiting Porto!

My mother and I took this class with Clara as the instructor in September 2025, and we had a wonderful time! Clara is an excellent instructor who made the class and recipe feel accessible to us, even though we we had limited baking experience. I feel confident that I will be able to make these treats at home again given the guidance that she provided. But, most importantly, the tarts were delicious! This was such a fun morning, and I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys pastel de nata and is visiting Porto.
