Itinerary
Since 2018, this is Portugal’s only pastel de nata baking class held inside a real bakery, led by a professional pastry chef. This masterclass is hosted by a professional pastry chef trained by Chef João Batalha, Nat’elier’s head pastry chef and co-founder. After getting ready, you’ll step into our professional kitchen to learn how to make the famous Portuguese custard tart from scratch. The workshop begins with a short introduction to the history of pastel de nata. This is a hands-on experience. Unlike other classes in Lisbon, you will make puff pastry from scratch, prepare the custard, and bake everything in a professional oven. Each participant will make at least 3 pastéis de nata by hand, learning how to laminate the dough, shape it using a traditional technique, and fill each pastry with custard. At the end of the class, you’ll enjoy your warm pastéis de nata with a drink of your choice. Adults and children aged 8+ are welcome. No previous experience is required.

I thought it would be difficult to learn as a beginner baker but Carmel was excellent. She made the class easy enough for everybody to make perfect pastel de Nata. My husband who also joined the class really loved the activity.
This Pastel De Nata class was honestly one of our favorite experiences while in Lisbon. Well worth your money. You first meet at the bakery & then are instructed to wash your hands before having a small info session. Then you get started with others (small class of 12), finish in 1.5-2 hours. The chef goes through each step carefully & at the end, you get a complimentary drink and get to enjoy your 5 fresh pastel de natas you just made! They then email you the recipe so you can make it at home :) We also bought their pastel de nata molds but they also sell all their other cookware as well too! Thank you again for the fun experience!
A great group masterclass making the pastries in an encouraging environment. Our instructor was kind, patient and friendly, getting the best out of everyone. The finished pastries were delectable. We all had great fun.
It is a little pricey but it’s a very hands-on, step by step class on making the pastry. Our chef (Sergio) was fluent in several languages and made sure everyone was involved.
Excellent detailed and fun class with very knowledgeable instructor; great supervision and detailed corrections and instructions so as to make home baking possible
We had a lot of fun. Carmen was an excellent instructor and our Pastels came out delicious. Want to make them at home now.
Amazing experience, friendly atmosphere with others on the course and well worth the two hours, highly recommend
It was a great, fun time. I’ve never been a baker but it was easy to learn, follow the directions, and make delicious pastries. And the end result was delicious!
Absolutely AMAZING!! Carmen was such a good teacher and it was so easy to make and they were delicious
We had an absolute blast doing this masterclass! It was so fun to learn about the history of the Pastel de Nata then experience making the treat from start to finish. This class is well organized, and we really liked how you get to eat exactly what you make, but with very easy to follow directions, ensuring and everyone's natas turn out great! It was so fun and so tasty!
A great couple of hours spent making these famous tart, Sergio made it all very easy and informative and everyone had an excellent result, highly recommend , loved it, will be making some at home
Perfect they thought of everything Coupled our pasteis with some iced latte what a wonderful memory we made
Still waiting on the photo and recipe that was promised. The teacher was excellent & product very yummy!
An excellent intro to a dessert particular to Portugal. Fun way to get involved in the local culture. Our chef made it fun and interesting. We got to take our own pastries home and enjoy a beverage of our choice after our experience in the kitchen.
This was a fantastic class which gave me confidence with not only puff pastry but making pastel de nata. Carmen was a wonderful teacher and it was a very satisfying process with a tasty result ♥️.
My mom and I joined the masterclass on an October morning. Our instructor Adriane was kind, helpful, clear, and well-organized in leading the class - we left very fond of him! We greatly enjoyed the other participants and left feeling like we were taking home a new skill. After being offered a pastel de nata on every tour - was fun to approach from another angle! Location of the bakery is right in the middle of all the action.
Brilliant experience. Really fun to do something different as a family group. Accommodating for vegan diet which was good
We were glad we booked this class. We did on the last day of the trip when we were tired of walking. It was hands on at most of the time as we shared some tasks with table partners. Class was very well organized and final product was presented nicely to take home. We tried many pastel de nata on the trip but the ones we made were the best! Recommend anyone visiting Lisbon.
This was a great experience and we loved the energy of the instructor. He explained everything clearly and we had a great time learing.
It was indeed a delightful experience to learn the art of making portugual tarts. Our esteemed Chef Carmen made the class both entertaining and intriguing. We thoroughly enjoyed it immensely.
The Pastel de Nata class was excellent. The instructor was clear and made the multi step process easy. The end product was delicious!
We decided to do this as a fun travel experience, not as an educational event (same with most participants). Group was nice and small, it was seven of us, it looks like it could have accommodated up to eight participants. Our instructor waslovely, her accent was a little bit difficult to understand but we had a wonderful time. The experience also includes a free drink off of café menu, and you have the opportunity to buy some of the tools that were used during the class. We each ended up going homewith about five or six of the pastries
Great hands on baking experience. You make the pastry and custard from scratch and you eat what you make.
What a great way to spend a couple of hours. The Masterclass was well constructed, the instructions were clear and the end result spectacular. Highly recommend this activity.
It was so fun and informative! We actually made delicious pastel de nata, . and I feel like I could make them myself in the future! Sergio was wonderful and made this class an amazing s experience !
A fun class learning how to make a Portuguese classic treat! The class was the right size for everyone to be hands on and get to actually experience how to make the Pastel de Nata. We got to make 5 each, eat what we wanted there and then take the rest with us. They turned out great
Awesome experience! Definitely worth booking and learning how to make these delicious pastel de nata’s.
Fantastic hands on baking experience in one of the best pastelería in Lisbon. This was such an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. Great value as we made 5 pastries each and included a hot drink to enjoy them with at the end of the experience. Special mention to our fantastic chef instructor Adriano who made the whole thing so easy through his excellent delivery and friendly encouragement.
We really enjoyed the baking experience. Firstly it was start to finish baking with no short cuts or pre made elements. The baker (from Brazil, so sorry I forgot his name) was really personable and knowledgeable and made us all feel at ease. We all made 5 or 6 tarts which we could take “home”. The atmosphere was relaxed and lots of fun but also I now feel like I have the skills to bake these at home. Lots of time for questions and coffee or even morning cocktails. Highly recommend!
super fun, well organized, yummy. great way to do something different in Lisbon. definitely recommend.
Fun activity! Something different to do while in Portugal. Great way to spent 2 hours meeting new people!
Chef was fantastic! De-mystified making custard tarts
I had a fun time experiencing learning how to make Portugal's famous pastel de nata pastry. Sergio was an excellent instructor and shared so many tips with us on how to make the perfect dough. He also made it entertaining. So glad I decided to do this on one of my solo days!
This class was top notch! We had Sergio. He was funny and professional. He was a very good coach as neither my husband nor I have pastry experience. We enjoyed truly making - not watching - but very hands on - our pastel de natas. We each made five and were provided a cute box to transport them. The free drink while waiting for our pastries to bake was a nice bonus. Not sure how the other classes in Lisbon are, but this was in a very cute shop, easy to find and good instruction.
We had a great experience. The bakers were friendly and helpful. The class size was less than 20 of us so it was very hands-on. We got to learn and keep the recipes. The only thing is that this was a little pricey for what the activity was but overall good time.
This was a great and fun activity to do in the city. Having been to Lisbon a few times, this was brilliant in terms of doing something different. The class was well directed, clear and easy to follow, plus we had a great group for the afternoon.
This pasty class was a great experience! Especially for a solo traveler. It was a very welcoming environment and the chef was funny and a great instructor. The pastel de nata was delicious!
Super fun experience! The instructors were very helpful & hands-on & made the class fun. Got to meet a lot of other new people as well & bake together! Would recommend
Had fun doing this with the family. Lou was an excellent and patient teacher and made the experience fun. I may have even learnt something. Would recommend this to anyone
The experience was wonderful. I learned so much in the group was so engaged. They were very patient and answered all the questions and make sure everyone was engaged.
This was absolutely the highlight of our holiday. The class was extremely well organised, well taught, wonderful surroundings and we all had such fun. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loces pastel de natas!
Sergio was a delightful teacher and kept things light, efficient, and fun! He is a trained chef, which made a big difference with the detailed construction of the pastel de nata. We made this iconic Portuguese pastry from scratch. We truly enjoyed this lesson!
Amazing class! Had a great time!
Great class, very organized and met some great people. Definitely glad I got the chance to experience this.
Amazing experience!! My girlfriend loved it and our pastel de natas came out delish!! The instructor was amazing, charming and helpful. Sergio is the best!
Lots of fun. The teachers were great and very helpful.
Went with wifey and had a fab time making some delicious pasta del natas. Met a lovely bunch of fellow would-be bakers. The two hours flew in and would highly recommend to all!
Chef was great and really informative. Really enjoyed the experience. The session went through how to make the pastries and explained every step clearly.
This was fun. Good teacher. Friendly group and lovely Pastei de Nata at the end!
