We had a wonderful time learning to make the classic Pasteis de Nata at Cooking Lisbon. Their recipe is very much like the "secret" recipe we tasted at Belem. Our instructor was fun and helpful. The pastries were delicious and we had more than enough to eat there and take back to the hotel with us. I am looking forward to making the recipe at home soon. read more

LEARN HOW TO MAKE PASTEIS DE NATA IN LISBON ========================================= Weeks before my family's trip to Portugal I booked a baking class at Cooking Lisbon. My daughter-in-law was so excited because she absolutely loves to bake. It was very easy booking online via their website and the class was 40.65 euros each. Add taxes and fees for a total of 209.76 euros. I printed out tickets and added them to my Apple wallet as well. On July 8, 2024 my husband, son, daughter-in law and myself just walked there from the Turim Boulevard Hotel where we were staying. There was a little uphill walking, but is wasn't bad. Filippa greeted us when we walked in and she was our baking instructor for the class. There was only one other guy in the class from Austria and he was very nice. Filippa had the table set up with water and orange juice. She handed all of us aprons and started the class. It was totally hands on and we could all participate in making the pasteis de natas. At the end we had so many of them to indulge in. I only ate two, but they were so good. Before we finished we all scanned the QR code for the recipe. I would highly recommend taking the course. read more

Super fun cooking class!! I didn't really pay too much attention to the leveling of classes but was informed we had signed up for the beginners course which was so surprising because there were quite a few technical tasks involved! We started at the Cooking Lisbon kitchen and then walked as a group to the market. We had about 5 minutes or so to explore before getting a chance to taste test some cheeses, breads, and roasted pork. We then walked around and bought our groceries and seafood for our group meal before making the trek back to the kitchen. When we returned there was a wonderful spread of cheeses, bread, jams, and nuts for us to snack on while we cooked. There was also unlimited wine, juice, and water available to us as we cooked and later with our meals. As a group we chopped up vegetables, minced garlic, peeled oranges and prepped the seafood. All remains went into a simmering pot that would become our soup. We shucked oysters and ate them raw, we filleted about four fish and prepared the clams. It was such a blast and everyone was so much fun to be around. Our instructor Paulo and his assistant Fernanda were so kind and patient, it was truly such a great time and intro to Portuguese cuisine! read more

Very much enjoyed this experience and thought our chef was great. He was clearly balancing a lot at once and none of us students were really making it any easier for him. All in all I had a lot of fun and enjoyed almost everything we ate. My only note is that there were a lot of us in the class, so it was more hands off than I would have liked. I did not do too much cooking and I expected to do more read more

Cooking Lisbon is a must! Rinata made our experience so fun! Upon arrival, she greeted us with a big warm smile and we immediately felt like family. We started with a sampling of cheeses and bread and lots of wine prior to cooking our meal. We moved on to our 4 cooking stations and proceeded to make an entire 4 course meal from soup to dessert. We enjoyed every morsel of our meal and continued to enjoy Rinata's bubbly personality and lots more wine for us. We highly recommend fitting this into your busy Lisbon adventure! read more

We had an amazing time at this cooking class. I enjoyed the market experience watching them clean the fish and pick the freshest fruit and veggies. Even while we waited on our food we had a delicious board with wine and water. We also were able to help prep the food by cutting the veggies and cleaning this fish. The food was delicious. It was great to have a meal and learn about the culture over some authentic cuisine. read more

Found this through an experience package called Tinggly (gifted for our wedding). This 3 hour Tuesday cooking class was the perfect way to spend our last night in Lisbon. With a total class size of 4 plus chef, we all had plenty of to do between making the soup, entree, and dessert. Peeling potatos, boiling eggs, cutting veggies, de-skinning the cod, flipping the meringue, and whipping the custard were just some of the tasks. Plenty of snacks (beans, olives, and bread + oil) and drinks (wine and OJ for the pregnant one) provided during downtimes. It was an intimate and friendly setting, where we were all chatting about our foodie aventures thus far. The best part was enjoying our hardwork in a 3 course dinner =) where all the serving and cleaning up was done by our instructor. And keeping our souvenir aprons! read more

We had a fantastically memorable time with Cooking Lisbon, walking to a local traditional market to purchase our ingredients, then cooking a 3 course meal to sit down and share with the new friends we had made in the class. The wine flowed freely, and we all chipped in, helping one another as we cooked while eating deep fried tempura green beans. Our traditional Portuguese menu consisted of: Potato and chorizo soup with shaved cabbage Seafood stew, made in a traditional lidded pot, with shrimp and monk fish Baked cheese cake made with a soft cheese (akin to ricotta) I've taken quite a few cooking classes abroad and this one ranked highly. Really nice kitchen to work in, with a helper to do the washing up, and the market visit was very informative and interesting too. Many of the stall holders gave us a free taste of what we were eating and Thomas the chef told us all about the ingredients and how we were going to use them. Easy to book and pay online, and easy to find (we took the metro) with competitive pricing considering you are eating a 3 course lunch with wine included. We also got to keep our aprons which was a nice touch. I would definitely recommend if you want to do something different during your Lisbon visit, especially one you can recreate at home to impress friends and family. read more

After a long love affair with pasteis de nata, we were excited to take a cooking class with Filippa to learn to make them. She was a delightful and supportive teacher. We spent a delightful two hours working under her instruction and the end result was a plateful of gorgeous pastries. They sent us home with as many as we could take. So much fun! read more

Hiya, We did a class here as eight family members and two other we did not initially know. It was a blast. Paolo was our guide, teacher and chef and we were all friends and overly well fed after the four hour culinary experience. I recommend this highly. Get there on time so as not to miss the walk to shopping at the neighborhood municipal market. I recommend this experience early in your time in Portugal because you will recognized some of what you learn here in other eating experiences around the country. read more

Exceptional experience. Truly memorable! Organized, delightful staff led six couples in making an amazing Portuguese meal. A WOW event!

It was a lot of fun to prepare dinner with our group and everyone had a good time, but when we sat down to eat it got very quiet, the food was very disappointing and the wine was nothing special either... read more

This was hands down one of my favorite parts about Lisbon. We took a cooking class in Barcelona with a similar company, but this one surpassed the one in Barcelona on so many levels. The chefs here are so very helpful as well as kind. We started the class around 6:30pm, and it was estimated to go until about 10:00pm; however, we were there until closer to 11:00pm--eating, drinking wine and just chatting with our new found friends. As for the food, the cod dish was the winner of the night for me. Do not hesitate to book this for one of your evenings in Lisbon. read more

One of our most memorable experiences in Lisbon (and throughout our many trips to Europe). This group of talented chefs are amazing! First they were gracious and generous as we had booked the wrong date, and yet they accommodated us with what turned out to be a private lesson for the three of us. The evening was memorable not just for the culinary knowledge and experience, but also to share life experiences, culture and customs. The meal that we prepared together was also our best! They are amazing. read more
