Renata was a great instructor and chef. She explained our cooking process and got everyone involved. We made several dishes including peri peri chicken, Bacalhau, caldo verde soup and many side dishes. Dessert was amazing as well. Our class chatted with each other while we cooked which made for a fun evening.
It was a great night of cooking, drinking and socializing. We had a lot of fun. Highly recommend it
This was AMAZING! I highly recommend going to this if you can find the time.... I mean, you have got to eat and what is better than learning some new foods, new ideas, new techniques along with a good meal!
Fantastic evening with a great chef! A good way to learn about food and traditions. Very professional and well organized for a delightful experience from welcome wine and snacks through the meal prep and group dinner. Everyone was involved and having fun. Don’t miss this one
Cooking Lisbon chef team was the best! They accommodated all our families food allergies so that we all could enjoy the Portuguese cooking. We appreciate all the recipes and can’t wait to make at home. Highly recommend this experience. Thank you Cooking Lisbon team!
This took place a while ago, but it’s taking me some time to leave a review because the instructor said to not say anything negative in a review. My experience was negative. I went as a solo female by myself. The class was all older women except for one older male who is married to one of the women. All the older women would chat amongst themselves, and I felt excluded due to being mid 20s. I think the man in the group saw this and decided to have a conversation with me as he was also excluded from the group of women. One of the women obviously got jealous that her husband was talking to me and started doing catty things like take pictures of me and him (telling us to pose and smile) acting as though she wanted to “save the memory”. It was all very odd and she would say thing like “gee you really like eachother”. The instructor did nothing. The instructor was very belittling to me. He could see that I was clearly by myself and whenever I tried to talk to somebody would cut me off and tell me to pay attention. I did not learn any cooking skills. He belittled me for not knowing what serate the knife meant. Most of the food was fried that we cooked and by the time we ate it, it was all cold. I was told at the end of the experience that if I didn’t have anything positive to say to not leave a review. I think that it’s unprofessional to try to silence somebody’s opinion.
Dear Shayla, Thank you for your feedback. We were quite surprised to receive your review more than a year after your visit, particularly as it raises concerns that were never brought to our attention at the time, when we would have been in a position to properly address them. At Cooking Lisbon, we welcome a very diverse mix of guests every day, including many solo travellers, and creating a friendly, relaxed and inclusive environment is at the core of our experience. While we are sorry to hear that you felt uncomfortable, your description does not reflect the atmosphere that is consistently experienced and shared by the vast majority of our guests. Regarding the instructor, our team is trained to guide the class in a structured and engaging way, ensuring that everyone can follow along safely and get the most out of the experience. Redirecting attention to the cooking process is sometimes necessary in a hands-on environment, but it is never intended to single out or diminish any participant. Concerning the situation described with other guests, these are personal interactions within the group that are neither directed nor influenced by our team. Naturally, had any discomfort been brought to our attention during the class, we would have immediately stepped in to support and ensure a positive experience for everyone involved. We would also like to clearly clarify that we never discourage guests from leaving honest reviews. On the contrary, we actively encourage open and transparent feedback, as it is essential for maintaining the high standards we are known for. Finally, our classes are designed so that guests prepare and enjoy the dishes together. While some recipes may involve frying, we take care to manage timing so that food is enjoyed in the best possible conditions. While we regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, we remain confident in the quality, professionalism and welcoming atmosphere that define Cooking Lisbon and that are reflected in the feedback from thousands of guests each year. Kind regards, Cooking Lisbon Team
Three courses doesn't describe it. Chef Catarina had a station/cutting board for each of us and we made lots of salads, sauces, mayonnaise, tempura, cod, chicken, gizzards, tomato rice, and a "floating cloud" dessert. The wines and appetizers kept us going and we had a blast. A birthday was celebrated. The night was a huge success.
As described and better. History, demonstration, eating, drinking, and just a great activity to celebrate Portugal
A wonderful class and instructor. Angela is great. We learned a lot, made delicious food, had a fun, relaxing experience.
This was such a fun night! The food was excellent. Lots of hands-on experience even with a bigger group.
