I ended up being the only one on my workshop with Vanessa and things couldn't have worked out better! Had an amazing time chatting and laughing as Vanessa guided me through the whole process. Incredibly lucky to have been able to do every step and can't wait to use what I've learnt to impress my friends at home. Thank you again to Vanessa, could not have asked for a better guide or experience 🫶 Hope all your sport teams keep winning

If you like to bake, you will enjoy this class 👍🏻👍🏻 It’s good to chillax for sometime
The perfect Porto experience! The studio is beautiful and the class was well organized and Clara could not be nicer. Everything was top notch! Great location in central Porto, as well!
This an enjoyable way to break up a busy trip and learn how to make a very popular dessert specific to Portugal. We don't kake often, but will definitely be making these when we return home. Our instructor Vanessa was great. She kept everyone informed, entertained, and engaged. Great way to meet people from many different backgrounds! Highly recommend!
Vanessa is hilarious and an absolute doll!! She made the class so much fun I really enjoyed myself!! The pastels were fabulous as well! Definitely recommend this class💖
Vanessa was brilliant tutor highly recommend lots of laughs
This was a fun way to learn to cook the pastels. Clara is fun, informative and encourages audience participation. In our group we made 3 each so able to take 1 each away, unless you can eat delicious pastels in a short so space of time. We especially chose this class over other pastels class as we could make the pastry too.
My son and I had a great time in this baking class. Vanessa's instructions throughout the class were easy to follow. She kept the class engaged with her lively personality. It was nice getting to know people from different countries. The length of time in the class was perfect and didn't feel rushed and the fee was fair. I'd certainly recommend this experience to others visiting Porto.
Excellent instructor. Explained the process thoroughly, got everyone involved and made it fun. The end product was fabulous!!
Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Small group of 8 people and a fantastic host that taught us all with skill and humour. The wine flowed, everyone played a part in making the pastel de natas and the end result was very tasty. If you like to have a crack at some baking, enjoy eating and drinking then this is for you.
I just loved this workshop. We we looked after by the fabulous Vanessa who was just great. I never got her to admit that I was the best student she had ever taught, but she did concede I was one of the best 👌 Seriously though, what a fun, interesting experience. Thoroughly recommended. And the results tasted amazing!!
What a great afternoon. Vanessa was so much fun and my husband really enjoyed learning how to make Pastel de Nata. Would thoroughly recommend this experience.
This class was wonderful!! Our instructor was fabulous- fun, funny, and used a friendly format that included everyone in the prep/baking process. One of the highlights of my trip!! And delicious pastel de natas :)
The class was indeed fun and worth the time. Vanessa, the instructor - was down to Earth, funny, and knowledgeable in her craft. She kept the class entertaining and engaged throughout as we all took turns with the baking process. The nata’s turned out delicious and was a nice treat to take back with us. This was a wonderful experience and a nice added memory for my time here in Porto!
Great afternoon learning how to finally make and cook puff pastry with that delicious filling - good way of spending a few hours while learning about the famous pastel de nata
What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon! Incredible value for money, with plenty of local green wine flowing and we got 3 pastel de natas at the end (we got to take the ones we couldn’t eat!). Vanessa was funny, friendly, informative and knowledgable. Kept the whole class involved at every stage. Definitely book this, it’s a wonderful experience!
This was so much fun! Vanessa was excellent at keeping it interesting, engaging, inclusive and informative. Very good value for money, especially enjoying the lovely wine with natas and good friends. I will recommend to anyone visiting Porto!
Clara was an absolutely amazing host and made our pastel de nata making experience extremely memorable. Her ability to be both funny and informative was very much appreciated and is the reason why I’d recommend this experience (and her as a host) to anyone interested in booking this class. Thanks again Clara!
This was so much fun! Claudia is perfect for the job. Nice personality and a good teacher. She helped as make perfect pasteis.
Vanessa took us through the process step by step with wit and charm. The pastel de nata's were delicious. We will definitely be trying this at home.
Brilliant place, very fun activity
Vanessa was amazing! Great team event
A fun afternoon learning how to make pastel de natas from scratch. We worked together as a group, which was fun!
Best decision to take this workshop!!! Vanessa was incredible! None of us are bakers but we heard you had to try pastel de nata… so why not make it. Fun, easy and great experience. Small group and everyone is involved…
I really enjoyed this experience! The set up was very attractive and clean. Clara was knowledgeable and patient with our questions and put us at ease.
Great fun. The leader is cooky and bitter about lawyers. She did a good job engaging everyone in conversation with her and with others. The room was set up nicely, cleanly. The time allowed was perfect.
Not only did I learn to make Pastel de Nata, but what a fun experience. Clara was wonderful, patient and provided the history of the pastry. We learned how to make the pastries from scratch and enjoyed our efforts in the end. I would highly recommend this experience with Clara is you are in Porto.
Clara did an amazing job of keeping everybody engaged. It was very much hands-on and a very fun experience all around. Just an excellent job!
We had the most amazing time learning to bake traditional pastel de nata in Portugal! A huge thank you to our instructor, Vanessa, who was so personable and kept us laughing throughout the whole class. The workshop was incredibly hands-on, and we all got to participate in multiple steps of the baking process. As a wonderful bonus, we got to enjoy delicious green wine and espresso while we baked. The fresh, warm tarts straight out of the oven were hands-down the best we've ever tasted. We can’t wait to try the recipe at home! If you are visiting Portugal, this class is an absolute must-do.
We had a great morning with Vanessa. Drinking a glass of wine and learning how to make pastel de nata was great experience. We each took turns with each step with interesting conversation. Eating our tarts was our reward. Vanessa kept the class moving along with each step.
Lots of fun, and very interesting.
Natalie was a great teacher? She made it lots of fun & involved everyone. The results were delicious 😋
Victoria was warm, welcoming and entertaining. The cookery course gives you the confidence to make high quality Natas at home.
Excellent and fantastic experience. Clara was amazing. She was friendly, welcoming, very knowledgeable, very professional and also great humour. The atmosphere was brilliant. The studio was very very good. Well set, clean and spacious and welcoming. Overall it was a fabulous experience. Thank you.
I had a fantastic time at the Pastel de Nata cooking class! Clara is a wonderful teacher and our natas turned out deliciously, despite drinking lots of green wine which was freely flowing and included in the class :) She also gave some great recommendations for local Portuguese food spots - one of which I went to afterwards and was fab. Would definitely recommend to everyone!
Clara was the perfect instructor! Great experience.
Clara was so friendly and enthusiastic. We all took it in turns to help with the making of the natas. We had wine and water and 3 of the pastel de natas each! They were hobestly the best natas I have tasted!
Vanessa welcomed us with open arms. We immediately felt welcome and when she started with the course we knew we were in for a treat. From start to finish she entertained us and helped us all through the baking of some delicious nata’s. Her energy and enthusiasm transferred to us which made the whole activity a lot of fun! Ps: the nata’s were really tasty!
What a fun experience! The class size was perfect (there were 11 of us) and we all helped in the creation of the delicious pastry! Our pastry chef was fun and engaging and gave us really helpful tips for making the pastry on our own. I would recommend this to anyone looking for fun morning of laughter, learning and baking!
Absolutely loved this! Loved it! It was such a fun, cool, and unique way to experience the famous local pastry.
The class was so well organised and run, and such fun. Karla gave so many tips & made sure everyone was involved. And they tasted delicious.
We had a great couple of hours baking at the Pastel De Nata class. Clara was so much fun and really made the experience. Would definitely recommend booking.
Just finished a brilliant cooking class making pastel de natas with Clara. It was a wonderful experience because it was a mixture of learning skills as well as having fun with a very inclusive group. The pastel de natas were delicious! Highly recommend.
A fun class, led by enthusiastic and friendly Alexandra. Would definitely recommend doing this class - and the end product tasted great!
This was such a fun experience! Vanessa was a wonderful instructor and entertainer. You will really feel able to recreate this delicious Portuguese treat in your own. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend! I was worried they would be difficult to make but Vanessa made it so easy for us and is a great teacher! I’m so excited to go home and be able to make these for my friends and family.
Great time. Very interactive and good fun. Vanessa was witty, friendly and helpful. The baking was easy, working as a team and the wine helped also! And obviously the Pastel were delicious! Totally recommended.
The class was very informative and lots of fun! I think I will be able to make the recipe at home, although it was harder than I anticipated. Great facilities and instructor.
Most enjoyable class very information thoroughly explained and a lot of fun. It was two and half hours which was perfect and shorter would have been rushed
We had a fantastic time. Vanessa was amazing as she taught our class how to make the delicious Pastel de Natas. Each person from the class was called on to participate in the preparation. We met people from all over the world. Such a fun way to learn how to make these treats. I would highly recommend this class and specifically Vanessa! She was fantastic! Book this class now!
