Chef Miguel or Resident Chef

We had a great time with a really knowledgeable, friendly relaxed chef and atmosphere. He walked us through a little history to tie in the food, which tasted wonderful. Oh and the wine was delicious too. It was a small group, which allowed everyone to get involved and learn. We would definitely recommend the class and experience. Thank you Miguel

Great class! Hands on but not difficult and you learn some Portugese history which is great considering the culinary influences!

Fun day with lots of fun and treats! Super nice afternoon with chef Miguel. He turned it into a fun workshop with a little history lesson in between.;) Tasty dishes made in a casual atmosphere, thanks and definitely recommended!

Wonderful on so many levels These events are great because it allows one to learn about local cuisine, meet others and learn about food heritage. It was great working with our host, having natural discussions, as well as learning cooking skills...

The class was well organized and really interactive. The instructor took the time to explain the history of the food and the dishes we prepared. She was very engaging and we prepared a wonderful meal. This was a great culinary and cultural experience.

Authentic cooking class with an intimate atmosphere The cooking class was very authentic and the cook Rita was very adorable and has led the course great! The food and wine were excellent and the atmosphere really great. Definitely a recommendation!

Beatriz was an incredible teacher and we had a fantastic class. The food was excellent and we got a thorough and interesting history of each dish and why it was popular in Portugal. Beatriz was engaging and fun, we could not recommend her enough

I had the absolute pleasure of joining this Portuguese cooking class on June 8, 2025, and it was easily one of the highlights of my time in Lisbon! Although I sadly forgot the name of our wonderful chef, she was truly fantastic—warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about sharing her country’s culinary traditions. Her guidance made the experience approachable for everyone, regardless of skill level, and I came away with new techniques and recipes I can’t wait to try at home. The class was intimate and lively, with a small group of fellow travelers from around the world. We laughed, chopped, cooked, and sipped wine as we prepared a delicious 3-course Portuguese meal. The menu showcased the best of local flavors, and the meal we shared at the end—paired with excellent Portuguese wine—was both satisfying and unforgettable. The atmosphere was relaxed and joyful, and I loved the way the experience brought people together over food and culture. As a bonus, vegetarians and other dietary needs were thoughtfully accommodated, which I really appreciated. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or just curious about Portuguese cuisine, this is an experience you shouldn’t miss. Thank you again to our lovely chef and team for a beautiful, authentic evening in Lisbon!

It is obvious that Chef Miguel finds great fulfillment in sharing his culinary knowledge and Portuguese traditions with those eager to learn. His enthusiasm for local produce and flavors is contagious.
