Great cooking class and dinner!

Melissa_P, Aug 2026

5 million stars for this authentic and delicious cooking class! We were driven to the family’s beautiful home and gardens with fruit trees and fresh produce all over their property. We had a warm welcome with refreshments and then hands on cooking class leaning to make multiple dishes! I was impressed with how many layers of dough we made for the Byrek pie! We had delicious local wine during the class and at dinner which was enjoyed outside in the garden. Our stuffed eggplants came out delicious if I do say so myself and the meatballs were very good too! We also had a garden salad that was very refreshing! And our Byrek came out great!! It was such a nice evening with good food, wine, and company! It was just my husband and I, and we had a great time getting to know the sweet family and talking about Albania. I highly recommend this to everyone visiting!

Dear Melissa, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for your “5 million stars”! ⭐️❤️ It truly made us smile! We’re so happy that you and your husband enjoyed the cooking class and the whole experience at our family home. It was a real pleasure cooking together, sharing stories, and introducing you to some of our favorite Albanian dishes. We’re especially glad you enjoyed making the byrek and that your stuffed eggplants and meatballs turned out so delicious! 😊 For us, the best part is seeing our guests not only learn about Albanian food, but also feel at home around our table. Thank you for spending such a lovely evening with our family and for recommending the experience to other travelers. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Albania one day! 🇦🇱❤️ Warm regards, The Qato Tours Family

My Husband and I had a wonderful night learning how to cook Albanian food. We were welcomed with Turkish coffee and Raki followed by very good wine. The family was really kind and patient with us. The father's daughter was super helpful in teaching us how to roll the dough and took lots of pictures and videos for us. We ate all together in their garden and talked until the sun went down. All ingredients in the food are fresh and homemade. Highly recommend this tour if you are looking to learn Albanian culture and have a very authentic personable experience in Berat with a local family
