lovely people, place and food - Staff were lovely, gave history behind the dish and taught us how to make another dish as well so we weren’t waiting in between parts we couldn’t do anything. The recipe was delicious especially the puff pastry outside that made the pastel de nata. Would definitely recomend to anyone debating it.

Worth it - This was a fun thing to do during my solo trip. The location is in a cute neighborhood and the kitchen has everything you'll need (including bathrooms and a small locker for your personal items). We made pastel de nata and bacalhau fritters. I liked that we got a little history lesson in addition to the cooking lesson. I would definitely recommend this to others looking to do something different during their trip.

Educational, delicious and fun! - We came after a recommendation from a friend to attend a cooking class abroad. Great value for money, as we anticipated only cooking the pastel de nata, but we also made traditional cod fish fitters, which were very tasty. The people and instructors were very friendly. We particularly enjoyed how the lesson linked to the history of the dishes, and gave some insight into Portuguese cooking techniques. The pastel de natas were the best we had on the holiday, and we indulged in several! The fish fitters were also very delicious and we left reasonably well fed. Would have maybe liked it to be a bit more hands on, however this in no way took away from our enjoyment of the experience, and was understandable within the two hour time frame. The equipment provided was professional and the environment was conducive to the number of people that attended. Would highly recommend a cooking class when away, as it greatly increases your understanding of the local culture and cuisine.

Fun and delicious cooking class - A very fun cooking class. Ana and Marta were excellent instructors and gave us a lot of helpful information, tips, and historical and cultural background. We made cod fritters in addition to the pastel de Nata, both of which were delicious. Not sure that I can undertake the task of making the pastry dough in the future (a multi step process of maybe 15 hours) but it was fun to learn how these delicious treats are made. We are still enjoying our creations a couple of days later! Take this class, you won’t regret it!!

Not much to do - I was expecting to participate in a cooking class. There were 11 participants. The classroom had enough work stations if we worked as couples. Unfortunately they only had 4 stations set up. I'm guessing that's because they only had 2 instructors. We ended up watching more than doing as everyone had to have a turn at doing at least one thing. I was expecting more hands on and didn't get it.
