Nicole's Table - From The Sea

We had a wonderful time! Excellent food & conversation with a gorgeous view- could not ask for more.

Great Time! Everyone should try this for sure! And BEAUTIFUL views as well from their back porch!

It was an excellent day. We learned new dishes and the interaction was as if we were spending the half day with a friend, (laughing, talking and enjoying good food together).

We had a wonderful time. The class consisted of us, another couple, and Nicole and her helper, Natasha. There was plenty to do to complete the entire meal, which was two fish dishes, a shrimp appetizer, fried plantain chips, and a mango salsa. We all worked preparing each item with the expert guidance from Nicole. It was so friendly, we all just talked and worked like we were all good friends getting together as we have done this before, even though it was our first time together. We did not feel rushed at any point, and then we all sat down to a nice meal together.

We booked this cooking class while staying at on the island, and it was easily the best experience of our entire vacation. If you are looking for a guaranteed great time, amazing food, and a break from the resort, this is it!From the second we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms and treated like absolute family. The atmosphere was completely laid-back, the energy was high, and the fresh rum cocktails were flowing the entire afternoon. We had a blast cooking a phenomenal local feast that tasted better than any restaurant on the island. We left stuffed, happy, and laughing. It was the perfect balance of a fun activity and an elite meal. Do yourself a favor and book this immediately—you won’t regret it!"

Nicole, a former personal chef, was a delight to work with. She allowed the class (of which there were only 2 couples) to do the prep and cooking with the help of herself and her trusty assistant, Natasha. The dishes prepared were simple and delicious and indicative of the local cuisine. They included local fish and produce, including Mahi Mahi and coconut. The Caribbean style shrimp was a standout and could have held its own as a main. The pumpkin fritters were also delicious. After a relaxing cooking experience, it was time to sit down and enjoy the fruits of our labor. On the patio, overlooking a beautiful valley we sat and sampled the dishes made. Pleasant conversation and full bellies followed. I recommend one rum punch during the class so as not to distract you from your cooking duties. This particular class was titled "From the Sea" but Nicole has several classes available. I am thinking about the jerk class on my next visit which I am already looking forward to.

We had a wonderful time preparing our meal with Nicole and Natasha. There were another couple with us and there plenty of space for each of us to work on something different. The conversation was lively and the weather was beautiful. We prepared two kinds of fish plus a shrimp appetizer along with fried plantain chips and a coconut custard tart for dessert.

If you’re in Antigua and have a love for authentic Caribbean cuisine, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to Nicole’s Kitchen. While searching for a birthday activity in Antigua, I discovered this excursion and decided to book it with just one day's notice, I couldn't be more pleased with the decision I've made. I chose the seafood menu, and I must say, the food was amazing! Even the coconut tart, which I initially thought I wouldn’t enjoy, turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Not only was the food amazing, but the company and conversations made us feel like we knew them for a long time. We extend our warmest wishes to Nicole’s Kitchen for all the best! If we ever return to Antigua, our first stop will definitely be Nicole’s Kitchen. Two satisfied customers: Anthony & Kym Crump

Fantastic experience, so happy we did it! Admission fee was perfect for what you get. Length of visit was perfect! The atmosphere was stunning with views for miles-cooking space was spacious. Crowd size was good with only one other couple. Nicole and her staff were very welcoming! This experience is best for all. Would be fun to go with a group of friends 🩵 Thank you Nicole for what you do and welcoming us into your home.

Set in a beautiful airy home overlooking NW Antigua, with a warm welcome we enjoyed helping to prepare Shrimp, Mahi Mahi and Salmon. You’d miss out if you don’t get involved Under Nicole’s friendly instruction. We sat down on her deck to enjoy the food washed down with rum punch, juice and water. What a great way to spend an afternoon in a true family atmosphere and learn something about Antiguan cookery.

This is our 2nd time with Nicole's Table. Both experiences have been wonderful. Great food, fun people and gorgeous views from Nicole's home. Highly recommended

This was amazing - from start to finish!! If you are looking for something unique to do while in Antigua, this is it! We booked for last Saturday and ended up being just the two of us which made it more special and intimate. Nicole and Adam were incredible hosts and made us feel like longtime friends in their home...which is gorgeous. Our menu that Nicole curated was amazing and delicious. We had so much fun chopping, stirring, mixing and just chatting around the table/counter top. After prepping the meal, they joined us to eat on their outdoor patio, sharing stories and the beautiful view. This is definitely a must do that we would recommend to anyone! Thank you so much Nicole and Adam for having us.

Our experience at Nicole’s Table was second to none. Upon our arrival we were warmly greeted with a delicious glass of passion fruit juice. Nicole’s husband introduced us to the couple sharing the cooking experience with us and, from then on, we felt completely at ease and at home in beautiful surroundings. The menu « From the Sea » sounded amazing. Nicole made the experience delightful and memorable: no cooking expertise required and all participants sharing the tasks at every stage. Nicole’s aid, Natasha, was on hand at all times deep frying the delicious plantain crisps we had prepared together with the most delicious pumpkin cinnamon balls. Nicole’s version of aïoli was to die for. As a passionate cook I learnt useful and interesting techniques such as the amazing pastry for coconut tarts, the delicious pineapple salsa and spicy slaw and, of course, the blackened fish cooking. The rum punch was flowing throughout (the best tasted in the Caribbean) and the finale, the meal we had prepared, was shared by all and will remain my most treasured experience in 3 weeks spent in Barbados, Grenada and Antigua respectively. We are making plans to return and stay with Nicole for a few days next February. Thank you Nicole for helping us create such wonderful memories. Nicole and Andy

Nicole is friendly, relaxed and most of all engaged with her class participants. She is totally on control without being over-bearing on her directions and guidance. She is masterful in having everyone participate without being pushy. Beyond that, the prepared food is exquisite and within reach of both well seasoned cooks and those who may not have experience in the kitchen. A lovely time may be had by all.

Absolutely fabulous! Nicole’s Table is a wonderful cooking adventure! You start the day in her beautiful home where she teaches you all about the foods and the cultures that you’re going to be making that day, the food is delicious and Nicol is amazingly funny and informative, we felt like we have been friends for years after we left!

Nicole is amazing! The food we made was incredible, and the views were beautiful. I Highly recommend this experience! A must do.

Wow times three! Their beautiful home overlooks the city and the harbor. You will feel like you are going to your bestfriend's home for a wonderful meal and conversation. This family are just a bunch of neat people. Nicole moves you through the recipes with skill, kindness and encouragement. Our favorite were plantains and fish. Ed liked the pumpkin balls and he hates pumpkin!!!! We also loved the mango puch and rum punch.Nicole was very skilled in adopted her recipes not to include onions due to Patty's inability to digest. Make sure you tell her of any allergies, as she is most mindful to make adjustment. I'm telling all my friends to do this if they get to this lovely Island. Oh, another big plus, she is a Baltimore, Md. gal. My husband is from Baltimore and I'm from Annapolis so we had lots to talk about. I am very hearing impaired and Nicole's beautiful voice was perfect for these old ears. It truly was a wonderful day.

Cooking with Nicole was absolutely amazing. Our class was the seafood cooking class. We had a bigger class than she normally works with, but she handled it well and we all were able to assist with preparation and cooking.There was more than enough food for our large group and it was all delicious! Thank you Nicole got opening up your loving home to us! Until next time…

Wonderful food, beautiful environment and amazing people. It was a wonderful way to spend the day in Antigua. Nicole and Adam were wonderful hosts. A great experience for everyone.

Wow! What an amazing experience! Nicole is a wizard in the kitchen. Not only did we make and eat incredible food but we learned a lot as well. Nicole is a gem. She’s warm and inviting. Her house is beautiful! She’s adjusts all recipes and food for dietary needs. I can’t say enough good things about Nicole and her table.

Nicole was so kind and welcoming. Her home is beautifully situated on the island with views for days. She made each recipe feel easy and approachable, and we left completely full and satisfied. Her rum punch was hands down the best I’ve had on the island. We’ll absolutely be making these recipes for our family when we get back home. Highly recommend!

Nicole’s Table was a wonderful experience from start to finish for my wife and I. We were warmly welcomed into her home and made a great variety of fantastic dishes. We would recommend to anyone considering. Thank you Nicole and Adam!

Wonderful time at Nicole’s table. Nicole and Adam are so welcoming and hospitable, such an enjoyable time, thank you. Hope to be back again one day.

This was an incredible experience for both me and my 11 year-old son! While I learned about the agriculture of the island and delicious classic recipes (that are surprisingly easy to duplicate at home), my son sliced and fried plantains with Nicole‘s daughter and nephew. Her home is both energetically and visually stunning. One of the top memories from our vacation! Highly recommend and would do again if I returned.

We knew that we would enjoy Nicole's class, however we underestimated just how much we would enjoy it. When she says that it's an "experience", she's 100% accurate. Nicole has an innate gift for seeing where each individual excels and where they need a bit more guidance. From the very start of the experience, she made the group feel welcome and comfortable. We laughed, we learned, and we grew around Nicole's table. She even got my husband to like cabbage!!! We would highly recommend Nicole's Table to anyone visiting Antigua. P.S. Don't skip the rum punch... it's amazing!

Nicole's Table was a wonderful time! My wife and I booked the seafood class and after a short taxi ride to her home, we were given a booklet of several recipes that us and the others would be creating together. It was really a group effort, as the 8 of us on the excursion were led by Nicole to create a delicious group feast. I would 100% recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to have an authentic cooking experience and she will make sure that it will fit any dietary restrictions or needs as well. We will recommend this excursion for anyone going to Antigua.

What an amazing excursion! I am so glad we happened to find Nicole's Table for our visit to Antigua. We loved our visit to Nicole and Adam's home - it was an inviting space to spend the day. The menu Nicole planned for us was delicious and fun to make. The small group size allowed us to feel really catered to, as well as able to get to know Nicole and the other guests. I would do this excursion over and over again - the absolute best!

We had a great time at Nicole’s Table! One of the best vacation excursions we’ve ever done! It was such a unique experience and Nicole was so fun and easy going! She was also great with our dietary restrictions. On top of it all - the food was amazing!!! Highly recommend!

We attended two different classes as we are big foodies, and it was a highlight of our trip. Our family loved it and so fun. We would highly recommend!

To start, the view from Nicole's home is outstanding. Nicole and Adam are warm and gracious people. My husband and I were treated to an outstanding experience in which we learned some cool tricks. (rub your hands with lime after working with starches and the starch comes right off) We cooked, chatted, and felt like old friends.

We were welcomed warmly into Nicole and Adam’s home and had a lovely afternoon learning to cook a delicious assortment Caribbean food, with a focus on seafood. We got to know more about life on the island, local cuisine, and the native plants Nicole grows in her garden, like thick thyme. We also got to know our fellow classmates as we worked together to prepare our meal, which we then enjoyed on a beautiful terrace with a stunning view over St. John’s. Overall, Nicole’s table is one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had while travelling and it would be the first thing we’d book if we were to return to Antigua. Thank you Nicole and Adam!

Wonderful cooking (and eating) experience at Nicole's Table. I'm a return visitor. This was my third time. Nicole leads us in preparing and cooking out food. She knows her stuff.

Had a fantastic time cooking creole with Nicole, Carrie, Heiden and Eunice! Stunning location nestled in the hills overlooking St. John’s. Will do it EVERY time I’m back in Antigua.

Very welcoming and inclusive cooking experience. Picked up some great tips and recipes to try at home. Nicole was especially cool as she adapted some of the recipes to be gluten free without any prior warning ( I’m used to making do). The best lunch in an amazing setting with great company. Only downside is finding restaurants to eat in that measure up🤣

This was truly one of the best experiences we could have hoped for! Nicole is a delightful hostess and an amazing chef. She and Adam have a beautiful home that sits on top of a hill with breathtaking views. I'm not normally a fan of rum punch because it's too sweet, but hers was a little tangy and it was delicious! We prepared everything with fresh ingredients, including fried plantains, pineapple salsa, pumpkin fritters, red beans and rice, fried shrimp, salmon, mahi mahi and coconut custard tarts. YUMMMMY! After we prepared the meal, we enjoyed it with some of her friends from Montserrat and Martinique on the back porch overlooking the ocean - a wonderful way to end to the day. We HIGHLY recommend this experience!

Sharing meal preparation while learning new recipes is fun. Nicole was a wonderful host and made it all easy. The payoff was enjoying our authentic Caribbean meal at the end. Would recommend and would even do it again.

One of our best days of the week! Nicole and Adam are fabulous hosts, their home is stunning with the most breathtaking views! The food and conversation were perfect! Thank you for a most amazing day! Highly recommend this activity

We had a wonderful time! Nicole is warm, engaging and knowledgeable. We learned a lot and enjoyed meeting all of the guests. The food was delicious and the views were stunning. This was a definite highlight of our vacation. We highly recommend!

I had such a fabulous time with Nicole learning how to cook Caribbean food. It was such a fun interactive day, set in her beautiful home. Nicole is a brilliant chef and knows her stuff! She was very informative and was very helpful with all my questions. Thank you so much for having me. I had the best time!

This was like walking into your friend’s house and cooking a meal together. While we chopped and prepared foods we had easy conversation about the island and the food. We learned about what’s native to the area, what’s in season and what needs to be brought in. I loved every minute of this class and the food was my favorite meal of the entire week we spent on the island. Thank you Nicole for making us feel like part of your family for the afternoon.

Always a part of our frequent visits to Antigua, Nicole and her delightful Sous Chef Iana provided us with another wonderful experience ! From the warm greeting to the ice cold rum punch and wonderful views from the lanai it felt like coming home. Nicole had a wonderful meal planned which consisted of us making a snack of Cassava chips served with a cool creamy dip. As an appetizer we made Spicy Buffalo Shrimp served with a Garlic Aioli. For our main we prepped and made wonderful Fish Tacos served with a side of Rice and Peas and for a sweet treat to end our feast we put together some Coconut Custard tarts. The sit down part of our afternoon was spent consuming the fruits of our labour on the lanai with Nicole and her always entertaining husband Adam and some wonderful folks from England with a backdrop of fantastic views of St. John and the Caribbean Sea. Never less to say it was a fantastic day and we are already looking forward to breaking bread, meeting new people and sipping on some of Adam's private stock at Nicole's Table on our next visit.

excellent fun time met people the food was fantastic great experience well planned and gave me of all people the opounity to be a chief i wound up being pretty good cant wait for next visit

This was a fantastic experience. Nicole and Adam are a super couple and made us feel so welcome. We simply felt like we were visiting a family friends home. Nicole explained everything so well and everyone all played our part in want turned out to be a very delicious meal. My wife and I also did the rum tasting with Adam which I believe is a must, I found a new appreciation for "proper" rum

Nicole and Adam are super organized, answer ann questions, teach useful kitchen (and life) skills and delightful people.

This was the BEST experience of our trip to Antigua. Nicole and her family are so welcoming and excited to have you. The food is amazing and the house has a view like no other!

An excellent experience. Well taught, good results. I will go again in the near future. Quite different from the usual "Cooking Class" Nicole's table was a lovely way to spend the day.

The experience at Nicole’s was amazing. The food prep was great as we all sat around preparing our own parts for the meal. Her family was so nice to invite you into their home. Wonderful conversation, good food and a great view of the bay. Don’t miss out on one of her cooking classes, because the event is one you won’t forget.

My wife and I took a cab from our resort and were warmly greeted by Nicole, Adam, and their daughter. Their house is lovely with an open air layout and a wonderful vantage point on a hill in Antigua. We were informed earlier in the day that we were to be the only attendees that day. As soon as we arrived we felt as if we were visiting a good friend's home. Nicole had us preparing our ingredients for the appetizers and main dish (we took the "From the Sea" class) and enjoyed putting together our shrimp and fish tacos. My wife was particularly impressed with the dessert- a coconut tart that she really enjoyed. Before we knew it it was time to go back to our resort. We had an absolutely wonderful time and highly recommend this to anyone visiting Antigua.

did the light for ambience, a beautiful, beautiful, setting, and a host that is both exhilarating, unique, funny, committed, and a pretty good cook. Had a wonderful day wonderful experience highly recommend this to anyone that looks for something a little off the beaten path that they could enjoy, and make a lasting memory and meet people.
