This 3 hour cooking class is the one I’d recommend most to tourists who want to get hands-on making some classic Portuguese food in Lisbon. It’s a well taught course as well as informative, with the head Chef Mafalda ensuring you are relaxed and making you feel very welcome in this intimate venue.

The class includes both traditional main meals as well as a Pastel de Nata dessert making this class excellent value for money. You can nearly spend this amount of money on just a class learning to bake the Pastel de Nata, so to have the full menu included really makes this the stand-out option in Lisbon.

To put it simply this is 3 hours of fun, cooking, and eating! Dishes include traditional cod-fish, curried rice and the famous pastel de nata – it’s an excellent experience, and you won’t leave disappointed or hungry!.

After the class they provide an email with all the recipes from the class, so that you can make the dishes at home again and again, which I thought was a nice touch.

2) Lisbon: Pastel de Nata Baking Class

– Step-by-step Pastel de Nata pastry class.
– Enjoy drinks including coffee, water, juice, porto wine and Ginginha tasting.
– Class lasts 2 hours and prices start from €50 (Book Class Online)

This class is perfect if you’re solely looking to learn how make Patel de Nata’s – the famous Portuguese tart!

Despite the pastry looking small and fairly simple, there are a lot of steps that go into making it one of the tastiest treats around. The instructor, Miyuki, gives plenty of guidance, but also lets you learn yourself, and by the end of the class you’ll have a delicious batch of golden Pastel de Natas to enjoy.

The class is child friendly, and super fun for children to enjoy getting stuck in and having a hands-on experience baking.

At the end of the class you’ll get to enjoy your treats (and take some home too – you’ll bake plenty!) whilst trying some of Portugal’s most famous drinks including tasting porto wine and Ginginha.

3) Lisbon: Portuguese Cooking Class for Beginners

– Cook and eat 3 different traditional Portuguese dishes.
– Limited to small class sizes (maximum 6 people).
– Includes drinks including tea, coffee, and wine.
– Class lasts 3 hours and prices start from €70 (Book Class Online)

This is another excellent choice for a cooking class in Lisbon, and one that really focuses on absolute beginners to cooking.

The class is centred around creating a traditional Portuguese family meal with 3 different dishes. You’ll be taught how to prepare each one, learning about the origin and how it fits with the local culture, before enjoying your dishes with a drink.

The area in which you cook is very professionally done and it’s one of the best environments you can get for a cooking class. At the end of preparing the dishes there is a separate area to eat (made up like a restaurant) where you can enjoy unlimited house wine as well as chat amongst the other class members and staff.

The class is limited to a maximum of 6 people so you get a lot of one to one time with the chefs and teachers. At the end of the class you’ll be given a QR code with access to all the recipes you just cooked as well extra Portugal themed dishes to try at home.
