Presented in a beautiful and meticulously clean kitchen by a gracious and knowledgeable hostess. You will learn how to make traditional seafood paella and enjoy it on a roof top patio overlooking the city.

Terrible communications preceding the actual start of the event. No sign posted outside the address, directions were inaccurate, & then when presenter appeared to find us waiting in confusion outside, she said Viator had not been relaying event info w presenters as agreed. Then, demonstration was given by knowledgeable, competent, & kind young chef. Environment was attractive, but group orientation to the space (restrooms, emergency exits, etc.) wasn't given. The food was excellent, but the chef didn't seem to have restaurant service skills or instincts. Still, I would recommend this experience. However, Viator & the presenters need to get on board with accurate directions & communications access for us customers, & not leave us lost & confused outside the buildings prior to the event.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Jennifer,
we recommend you to take a look at the 3 different emails Viator and supplier sent you to find the meeting point (including a meeting point document attached).
Restrooms, elevator, exits and rooftop are was so easy to find (this is a small venue)
All of our chefs have trained in a culinary school, have you?
Regards

Lovely way to learn proper paella making, authentically, and how to avoid bad paella! Sipping wine in air conditioned room, with olives and cheese, followed by eating tasty paella on the terrace, with amazing views and amazing sangria'. Take the dessert option and you can also follow it with the most amazing pastry!! Lovely event?

Would absolutely NOT recommend this experience. No actual cooking or recipe provided. No one could see the dish being made from where we were seated. The paella was undercooked. The seafood was overcooked. The rooftop was lovely but the cook dropped off our dishes of paella and never checked back. That was the end of the experience. Big waste of time and money. I love paella and have been to two cooking classes where we cooked and received recipes. Big difference. The only thing nice about this was the view. The one glass of sangria was also just okay.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Hi Julie,
we are sorry to hear about this. We will check with our chef in order to see what happened however we are sure he said Paellas have a dry and crunchy texture in order for people to know how to avoid bad mushy paella they might find in restaurants.
Also, this is not a cooking class but a showcooking as listed and described on the title so we can not compare a hands-on cooking class with a showcooking. Two different type of activities.
About recipes, they are sent automatically 1 day after the experience, please check your inbox, spam and as we say in all of our experiences if you still did not get them, contact us with the email address you want them to be sent.
Regards

We were excited to take a Paella cooking class in Seville and our experience exceeded expectations. So much history goes into this famous Spanish dish you'll be just as impressed with the origins of Paella as you will actually eating your delicious masterpiece.
Lovely outdoor roof top dining with wine and cheese included in the price. Met some new friends and shared a memorable evening of gastronomy.

What a fun way to finish our four nights in Seville! We thoroughly enjoyed learning how to make authentic paella. Our show-cook was funny and informative and also shared information about the history and culture surrounding paella. We had been concerned about a “rooftop” experience on a very hot day, but the class was indoors in an air conditioned penthouse until we were able to enjoy the paella on the rooftop outside as the sun was setting. Beautiful!
