Local chefs · Rua Margarida Palla 25A, Algés
Local Portuguese chefs guide ten guests at most through flaky pastry, creamy custard and a golden bake, all from scratch, in Algés just west of Belém. Pick it for a small, hands-on group, coffee with your tarts and a taste of other versions of the pastry.
Algés is the next stop along the river after Belém, and this class keeps things small: ten guests at most, so everyone bakes rather than watches a demonstration. You make the pastéis de nata from scratch, from preparing and shaping the flaky pastry to the custard and the bake until golden. The chefs share history, traditions and the tips you need to make them at home. You can cancel free up to 24 hours before.
At the end you sit down with your tarts and a Portuguese coffee or tea, and taste different variations of the pastry too. The price includes the class, all ingredients and equipment, the chefs, your freshly baked tarts, the drink and the recipes with tips. Gratuities are not included. It has a perfect 5.0 from just 10 reviews, a small record, and guests name Anna, Carina and Ana as their chefs.
Read the suitability list before booking. The listing says the class is not suitable for children under 8, people with mobility impairments, wheelchair users, vegans or people with food allergies, and it does not recommend it for vegetarians. Families with older children do well: one guest calls it a great family activity, and a bachelorette group loved it.
