Whether or not you are an experienced cook or not, this class was great! I learned some new techniques, learned a little about why French cooking is soooo good, and really enjoyed the experience. We also got to eat what we cooked!

An amazing cooking experience for our family! We booked this on our last full day in Paris as a way to end with an authentic French experience and it did not disappoint. We cooked Roasted Duck breast with vegetables and it was amazing. Our chef explained the cooking process, gave us lots of tips that we will use at home and helped us create an amazing meal that will be a family favorite. Our teenagers got to experience cooking their own meal and ate everything, even the vegetables. The entire experience was a highlight of our trip, especially with taking home the recipe, apron and hat! Thank you so much for an amazing end to our trip!
A must do for any foodie visiting Paris! We saved this experience for our last full day, so we can end our trip on this highest note and it did not disappointment. Our teenagers loved the ability to cook their own meal and our chef was amazing. He have us tips. guided us through French cooking skills and gave us some great tips for visiting Paris. We made this our lunch and every one cleaned their plates, our teenagers even ate all the veggies! Possibly one of the best meals we had, and we got to take the recipe home to try to recreate it! I think this will become a family favorite.
Cooking class in a beautiful modern kitchen with a great chef. Well organized and worth it. Plus the meal you eat afterwards is top notch. This is our second time doing this and would gladly do it again.
It was not a hands on experience, the chef did most of the cooking, we were expecting a more interactive experience. Nevertheless, the quiche was delicious and the chef was very nice.
Such a lovely experience we learned, laughed and ate good food! Our instructor was patient and willing to teach slow learners!
Gerald was a fantastic instructor! Very personable and able to explain every detail about creating and cooking a quiche. In addition, we made a vinaigrette to have on our salad which was delicious!
This was going to be the highlight of my visit to Paris. I got up early and took an Uber to the class address. I even arrived 30 minutes early. After waiting over 30 minutes for the class, no one showed up. I finally got ahold of someone at the service desk within the store where the class was to be held. I was told that the class was canceled and I should’ve been notified. I was not notified! It was a waste to half of a vacation day. Shame on Viator and the so-called cooking school!
The chef was extremely professional and explained every clear. He showed up how to chop an onion and explained the reason behind methods and steps
This was such a wonderful experience! We thoroughly enjoyed Gerald and the dish we made (paella risotto). we would highly recommend to anyone wanting an authentic French cooking experience. He is very experienced and knowledgeable. 10/10! We cooked, ate and enjoyed wine and wonderful conversation. Worth the money!
Lucy did a wonderful job of walking us through the recipe while sharing her knowledge as a professional chef. The results - delicious!
Our chef instructor, Gerald, provided us with a well crafted recipe and shared his exquisite insight into preparing Duck Magret. He made all of us feel very special, comfortable, and confident with his instructional methods. Bravo!
flavor is the emphasis so one learns to captalize all of the ingredients. I would prefer to have cooked the meat more than we did.
I would easily take this class again. It was somewhat private and it was completely hands on. The chef was great! The work environment was spacious and clean.
What a lovely way to spend a very hot day. Gerald was a great teacher. We had a fabulous lamb lunch and got parting gifts. It felt like we got a bargain!
Chef was very knowledgable and engaging with the group. Our family loves to cook and we learned a few new tips.
The cooking class was excellent. The chef provided great detail and tips on how to prepare the chicken and vegetables. I had never made a white sauce. I plan to get French cookbooks and expand my knowledge of French cooking techniques. The meal that we prepared was excellent.
The cooking class was amazing! What a great ‘souvenir’ to take home with us…the incredible learnings, recipe, and memory of a unique experience.
A genuine experience, learn new skills, and enjoy amazing food! You won’t believe what you will be able to do! Chef Gerard was fantastic! He is so skilled, an amazing teacher, taught in several languages, and was so supportive and friendly! The class was the highlight of our trip! I can’t wait to impress everyone at home!
The chef made our time very memorable and explained in detail all intricacies of the dish. Learned a lot in very cozy atmosphere, recommended!
It was a great experience and the Chef gave us a lot of cooking tips. He was really friendly too. I would highly recommend this cooking experience.
Since the class is in a department store, we expected more of a demonstration and were absolutely delighted that it was very much hands on. The chef was comfortably bilingual -- the other four in the class were French speaking -- and the quality of the instruction was very high level. For about what a good lunch would have cost the two of us in a pleasant Paris restaurant, we were treated to a great learning and dining experience. Highly recommended!!
Great atmosphere. Learn new things. Friendly people. Highly recommend. Chef was knowledgeable . I will do it again in a future.
We’d booked for one vegetarian on the course and were told at the start that they were only doing a chicken dish. The chef was not prepared to try and accommodate the vegetarian. No real teaching or explanation or help. The chef just prepared the dish and we had to follow the best we could.. I asked for red wine to accompany the lunch and was told only white would be served. When i eventually persuaded the chef to let me have red i given given a very small glass and told that was all I was allowed. In the meantime my wife and two friends had a bottle of white left for them. All in all a very poor experience. Definitely not worth the money or the time Not recommended
It was an amazing experience with chef Elise, learned a lot about chef mastery skills. The plate we prepared was very delicious. Would definitely recommend 😊
Chef Eric was patient and attentive, pragmatic, energetic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I had a great time in his class. He answered sll my questions about the recipe and cooking techniques generally. I learned a lot in the class.
We absolutely loved the cooking class with Chef Eric. The cooking skills and tips were helpful and the meal we created was delicious. We loved every moment cooking and then sitting down with Chef to enjoy our creation. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed our class. We can wait to make our dinner for friends at home. Elisa our chef was pleasant and accommodating to our dietary needs. Instruction was clear and helpful when we were unsure if things were going right.
Chef Eric was extremely knowledgeable and patient in his instruction.. He checked on each of us to make sure that we eere progressing timely. We all sat down and had a beautiful meal with wine and a lovely dessert It was not included in the menu. Step away from the sightseeing and try this. It was refreshing fun and a great way to spend a couple hours as a couple or as a solo traveler , Susan Gentry. Florida
We thorough enjoyed our cooking class at Ferrandi Kitchen in Galeries Lafayette. The kitchen was well appointed in a beautiful windowed space. The instructor was excellent. and the dish we prepared was delicious but not so complicated that we can’t make it at home. I really liked the instruction on plating our meal as they would in a restaurant. Presentation is so important. Definitely would do this again
The most fun for me was taking the class with my daughter, who is turning out to be quite a good cook!
Very good experience in a nice setting, I received very good advice, the chef accompanied us and at the end we were all able to be gathered around our meal
Hello, On the advice of the seller I ordered online!. One of my products did not meet my expectations, I returned it.. ATTENTION THE RETURN IS AT YOUR EXPENSE!!!!!! DESPITE WHAT IS DISPLAYED..... Rest of customer service: "it's our partner!! " You have to sort your partners then ... not up to your sign! I ordered on the Galeries lafayette website. Com and not at home. Ineligible for a brand like Galeries lafayette to have to return a product at my expense for the amount ordered. SO READ THE TERMS IN SMALL on their website and don’t rely on the free return logo written in WHOLESALE that GLs make their slogan. I will no longer order on the site and I will tell you .....
Perfect, with chef Frédéric, very competent and pedagogue! It makes us want to start cooking...
6人レッスンでシェフとの会話も気軽にできてよかったです。英語とフランス語のレッスンです。少人数なのでシェフの作業がよく見えて、とても参加になりました。使用したエプロンとレシピをもらえます。出来上がったお料理はグラスワインと共にシェフといただきます。
It was my first visit to France and the cooking class was very fun and informative. I was glad to be able to make traditional French dishes under a famous chef. I would like to go again.
A warm Welcoming in a bright setting and a quiet kitchen. A very pleasant, clear and fluid course that ends at the table around our erect plates. We enjoyed it! Mood more than friendly with an adorable chef! Thank you very much for this lovely experience. We will definitely recommend!
Le contact avec la cheffe qui est très dynamique et répond à nos multiples questions Bonne technique Très bon plat Un point négatif cependant : Un peu cher (j’ai eu l’occasion de faire d’autres cours de cuisine aussi bien et beaucoup plus abordables)
In a bright and professional kitchen, you are in front of the Paris Opera, all the equipment is gathered. A chef from the prestigious Ferrandi school will guide you in the realization of a recipe. You have the apron, the hat (like a chef) and off you go! Peel, cut, cook and simmer. The Chief helps us, shows us the right moves. And the dish takes shape. Once the preparation is complete, make way for tasting! Total success! We left with the recipe and especially a diploma!! I highly recommend this activity!!
Chef Pablo introduced us to and taste products from small producers in order to make the best Duck , very inviting, attentive, his indications allow to guide the experience as well as possible but always allowing the guests the freedom to manage their tastings as they see fit, and at their own pace.. A big bravo to Pablo for the animation! To make friends discover this very good time, original and greedy in Paris.
I highly recommend this very qualitative experience, in a bright and warm setting! Excellent Chef accompaniment and friendly Mood. Tasty and tasty recipe!
I learned how to cook a duck breast and it was a treat. The course is well supervised and the Mood friendly. I really recommend this workshop! It was a chance to be with a head of this prestigious school.
The place is amazing, we didn’t expect to find a real kitchen in the Galleries. The chef is great and the recipe is accessible, we took to the game and we will try to reproduce the recipe at home. We recommend!
I really had a great time! In 1h40 you make a recipe from A to Z ... The chef has a real experience in Parisian starred restaurants! He is very pedagogical and teaches us his Duck recipe in a simple and fun way. I thought he and his assistant were very nice! The location of the course is also great (with a view of the Opera House) and lends itself perfectly to a cooking class worthy of a Michelin-starred chef! An activity TO TEST .... the food and recipe were really exquisite!!!
