Cook a Portuguese dinner near Belém

In the same kitchen as the Lisbon pastel de nata class, chefs guide you through a traditional four-course Portuguese meal, with finger food, wine and beer while you cook. It is a savoury cooking class, not a pastel de nata class, so pair it with the baking class for the sweet side.

Traditional Portuguese Cooking Class

About this experience

Here is the savoury half of Portuguese food. This is a cooking class, not a pastel de nata class: over 3 hours you cook a traditional four-course meal of seasonal dishes, then sit down to eat it. It runs in the same kitchen on Rua Aliança Operária 54 as the Lisbon pastel de nata baking class, which makes the two an easy pair on different days. You can cancel free up to 24 hours before.

Everything to drink is included: wine, beer, homemade juice, coffee and water, plus finger food and snacks to start. The chefs explain each dish, from the spices to the method, then you cook it step by step. The price also covers the ingredients, the gear, the instructors and insurance, with taxes and fees included. It has 4.9 stars from 831 reviews, and guests praise the chefs, naming Irina, Miguel and Miyuki, and the time to eat without rushing. One guest says the recipes were shared by a scan code.

It is not suitable for children under 6 or people with mobility impairments. Gratuities and hotel pickup are not included. The listing marks it as likely to sell out.
