This was a fantastic experience, from the absolutely delightful chef who did an amazing job to the beautiful space and the delicious results! Highly recommend!
Clara was delightful. She made the process so easy and entertaining. And the Pastel da nata that we created tasted perfect.
It was an awesome cooking class. The pasteles de nata were delicious. We had a splendid time. The place is beautiful.
Clara was wonderful, very friendly, showed step by step how to make delicious pastels. Kitchen was clean, cozy. Enjoyed small group, nice conversations.
The instructor, Clara, was exceptional. She was very pleasant, easy going, easy to understand, engaging all 6 of us in the preparation of the pastel de natas. We each took turns, and with her helpful guidance, she instructed us in the individual steps required to complete the task in the 2.5 hours. The pastel de natas were DELICIOUS and we even got to take some with us. There was green wine & tea as well on the table for us to partake. I would totally refer others to take this baking class, even if you’ve never baked before. Clara was delightful! There was some difficulty in arranging the exact location but eventually it was resolved and everything worked out just fine. Highly recommend.
Taking the Pastéis de Nata cooking class with Clara was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. From the very first minute, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and incredibly fun. - Exceptional Availability & Guidance: Clara was attentive, patient, and made sure every single participant felt confident at each step of the recipe—from laminating the buttery puff pastry to achieving that signature, perfectly caramelized custard top. - Warm & Friendly Ambiance: The hospitality was second to none. Clara's genuine kindness, amability, and passion for Portuguese pastry-making made us feel right at home in a cozy, intimate setting. - Pure Engagement: It wasn't just a demonstration; Clara's incredible ability to engage everyone made it a fully hands-on, interactive experience filled with fascinating stories, laughter, and tips that you can easily recreate back home. Eating those warm, freshly baked pastéis de nata straight out of the oven, paired with a great coffee, was pure magic. If you are looking for an authentic, engaging, and delicious cultural experience, this class with Clara comes with our highest possible recommendation!
This was truly a wonderful experience learning from Clara how to make pastel de nata from scratch. She was welcoming and very knowledgeable not only in class but overall about Porto. Marisol

My mother and I took this class with Clara as the instructor in September 2025, and we had a wonderful time! Clara is an excellent instructor who made the class and recipe feel accessible to us, even though we we had limited baking experience. I feel confident that I will be able to make these treats at home again given the guidance that she provided. But, most importantly, the tarts were delicious! This was such a fun morning, and I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys pastel de nata and is visiting Porto.
We loved this experience. Our host was amazing - funny, informative and involved everyone. We'd really recommend it!
We really enjoyed the pastel de nata workshop! It takes place in a small group of 10 people in a modern and cozy venue; everyone helps out actively so that in the end, the delicious pastel de natas can be enjoyed or taken home. Catie led the course with a great sense of humor and shared a lot about the history of the pastel de natas and many other things about Porto. The whole thing was accompanied by a fine Vinho Verde and fresh, cold tea. It was never boring and we are very happy to recommend the workshop! Thank you very much!
Fun and tasty 2.5 hour workshop. - You can prepare the " pastel de nata" yourself. - Very good explanation. - drinks during the workshop are included. Highly recommended!
