Authentischer baskischer Kochkurs in San Sebastian mit lokalem Koch

Chef Mattin was delightful, friendly, and fun. Loved the Gilda pinxto, albeit just sticking olives and anchovies on a toothpick. The kitchen was not well ventilated and coupled with the warm humid weather felt a bit stuffy. Food was okay, but could have been enhanced with a few more ingredients for flavor. Basic and easy. Would prefer something more interesting.

My wife and I have been to many Viator experiences and they have all been great except for this one which we attended with two friends. The cooking class did not provide the experience that we expected based on the description on the website. Here is a list of the many items that we found unsatisfactory:  - Only 4 courses were provided and not the 5 that were advertised.  The one omitted was the main protein.  - The class was conducted in a basement kitchen that provided no ventilation and became very hot as we started cooking. - Many flies were noticeable around the food and main cooking/prep table.  - The work space and cooking area was very small and uncomfortable.

This was a great event. In large part due to the chef Alberto who was a pleasure to be with, really enjoyable, friendly, and funny. His recipes were both delicious and easy to follow. Highly recommend Alberto and this experience.

The only nice thing we can say is Carlos was a good leader for the class. For the cost (+/- $165 each), the menu and location was unacceptable. The class was held in a dirty kitchen filled with flies. The menu consisted of 1 pintxos (an anchovy and pepper on a toothpick), a basque omelet of eggs and potatoes, a bland tortilla with sausage and a tasteless basque cheesecake. This was described as a basque dinner and we could not believe we paid that much money for scrambled eggs! The wine wasn't even opened until the end of class and the purchased bread wasn't even offered to the attendees. This is the ONLY bad experience I've had with Viator and would strongly suggest reworking this entire experience. So disappointing!

We had a fantastic time at this cooking class in San Sebastián! We learned how to make several Basque favorites, including Gildas, txistorra, tortilla, and Basque cheesecake. Everything we made was delicious, and the class was both fun and informative. The atmosphere was relaxed and engaging, and we had a great time cooking, eating, and learning about Basque cuisine. The experience also included plenty of local drinks, including cider, txakoli, and Rioja wine.

Our chef, Mattin was wonderful despite the circumstances of the kitchen we cooked in. Our class took place in the basement kitchen of a coffee shop, not a cooking school. For the amount we paid ~135 euro we “cooked” tortilla (without onions because it took too long????), assembled a Gilda pinxto, a traditional bread/sausage snack and basque cheesecake. The drinks were plentiful.

Great chef, lots of fun and enjoyed thoroughly

Do not spend your money on this tour. Save it and go to Casa Julian or Bar Sport instead. We paid €140 per person for a group of four (€560 total) and received a small piece of tortilla, one gilda on a toothpick, bread with a few slices of chorizo, cheesecake, and three glasses of wine. For comparison, we spent about the same amount at Casa Julian and enjoyed an incredible meal for four that included the most amazing steak of my life, peppers, vegetables, dessert, and two bottles of wine priced at €100 each. At Bar Sport, €100 total covered 10 pintxos and two bottles of wine for four people. The photos advertised online did not match our experience at all. The class took place in a dirty basement with flies and only one hot plate for cooking. The instructor himslef was lovely and brought great energy to the experience, but unfortunately the quality and setting did not come close to justifying the price.

Albierto was very professional & informative. We learned lots & enjoyed the whole experience!

We had a fun cooking class with a professional chef, Mattin, he explained all the steps and you can participate as much as you wish. The best was the cheesecake!
