Through this experience you will be able to visit a traditional market in the city of Porto where you will have an introduction to the customs and traditions of the local inhabitants.
After visiting the Market, time to head to our space located at Rua do Pilar 80, Vila Nova de Gaia, to prepare a typical Portuguese meal, where cod cannot be missing. Participation in the making is optional, however encouraged.
As the Portuguese love it, after the meal is ready it's time to sit down at the table and enjoy the food, local wine and most importantly, the company.

This cooking class was recommended to me by a friend who had taken it the previous week with her daughter. I chose this activity for my last day in Porto and absolutely loved it! The leaders were professional, knowledgable and fun. It began with a visit to the beautiful market where the Nuno explained many interesting facts and stories about the origins of different foods. It was fun to shop for the ingredients we used. Even the metro ride to the cooking space was fun since it went over the bridge with excellent views of the river below. The best part was cooking together. I felt like I was a guest at a lively dinner party. The hosts invited us to participate in every step of making an appetizer, main course, and dessert, all while serving us apps and wine throughout. We talked, we laughed, and we ate. I highly recommend this experience.

This was a wonderful experience and I would certainly recommend this class to anyone! We learned so much about Porto and all of its amazing foods from the fabulous market to what we were able to cook and enjoy in the class-especially the Pastel de Natas! Nuno and Joseph were awesome! They are really great guys-knowledgeable, friendly, and really funny! Sign up for this really fun class the next time you visit Porto!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and humorous. He told us the history of food in Porto. The cooking experience was also very good but he did not return us to our original meeting place. Instead, we had to take a metro near the market. We could have gotten lost. I do not recommend this to tourists that may get lost easily in a busy city

We had an absolutely amazing time on this tour. First we met Nonu at the market for a tour and a wonderful explanation of the history and different characteristics of Portuguese food and culture. We then went to the cooking class portion where to learned to make some delicious dishes with Joseph and Nonu. It was entertaining, well taught and a lot of FUN!! We learned how to make Pastels de Nata!! Would suggest that anyone visiting Porto do this class!!

This cooking class was one of the highlights of our trip to Porto! Meeting up in the beautiful market, taking the train across the bridge and then arriving in the stunning professional kitchen was just the start. The class was fun, hands on but not intimidating at all. With Nuno and Ze as our chefs/ hosts, everything was explained so well and answered all of our questions.
We met wonderful people, ate local cuisine and wine. It was such a great experience for my husband and I on our last day in Porto.
