About

This is the only cooking class in Portugal where you get to learn about pastry making inside a real award-winning Portuguese bakery - just 30 mins from Lisbon!

The class starts with an introduction to the history of Pastel de Nata as well as the family-run bakery where this workshop takes place.

After you've geared up, you'll go inside the kitchen of João's very own "pastelaria". This is where you will learn how to bake the irresistible Portuguese Custard Tarts (aka Pastel de Nata / Egg Tarts) everybody loves!

Unlike other Pastel de Nata classes around Lisbon, we will show you how to make puff pastry like the pros. Afterwards, we will make the custard from scratch and bake it all inside a professional oven. During this class we all work together as a team. Everyone will get to make at least 3 tarts by hand - spread the dough with a specific Pastel de Nata technique, fill in the custard, etc. The end result will be a collaborative effort. A delicious one, of course! ;)

In the end, we'll eat the warm tarts with a nice cup of coffee!”

* ADULTS & CHILDREN welcome! NO previous cooking experience required! We also organize PRIVATE experiences and baking parties - get in touch!

"Great experience— tasty pastry!"

Great class, wonderful instructor, very informative, hands on class. We learned the history behind Portugal’s most famous pastry and how to make them step by step. The pastries we made were delicious! Best of all, they have put together a handy kit you can purchase on site (the pastry tins, dispenser, etc) you need to easily make these at home. The bakery is in Malviera, about a 20-30 min drive from Lisbon, so you also get to see some of the countryside.

"Great experience, highly recommended!"

Truly good fun, enjoyable and tasty! João gives great background and tips and makes sure everyone is participating regardless of one’s cooking skills! We really enjoyed ourselves! Very much recommended!

"Delicious workshop"

I love this sweet and now I'll be able to do it......thanks!

"Best baking class ever!"

The way I like to see a city is to learn how to make whatever that city/country is famous for. So making Pastel de Nata seemed like the obvious choice. We started off by tasting other Portuguese treats then got down to business. While we were making the Pastel de Nata, João gave us tips on how we would go about doing this at home since things would be a little different. He also told us about the history of Pastel de Nata and was overall a great teacher.

"Fun! Interesting."

Having eaten a hundred pasteis since I first visited Portugal in the 90s, it was interesting to see how they’re made. A fun concept, with modest involvement from the participants. But I’d be happy to buy the pastéis “we” made.

Meeting Point
