オープンバー付きのビルバオでの小グループ没入型バスク料理教室

My son and I took this course and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. We came away with some pro tips, really full bellies and some great memories. I would really recommend to anyone looking to learn about Basque cooking. Gracias Mikel 😁

Basque cooking class was organized, well thought out and very informative. Involvement of students in meal prep very helpful. Resulting dishes were outstanding!

I went to this cooking class with my mum & we had THE BEST time. Mikel (who spoke fluent english) made an enormous amount of effort to integrate the group & ensure we were all chatting away in no time. The drinks were flowing & the time flew by! Not only did I love the attention to detail with knife skills, we were given the history behind the dishes too & of course, we all got to sit together and eat all of them. Honestly, couldn't fault it. Hands down, our best experience in Bilbao. I would recommend doing this at the start of your trip as Mikel had so many good recommendations!

We had a delightful time cooking Basque dishes and tasting local wines. Everything was delicious! Mikel is a great chef and has lots of experience to share. My whole family had a great time.

This was a great experience! Not only did we learn to cook we also learned about the great food that we were eating. The kitchen was clean and well organized and the Chef was knowledgeable and fun. The Gilda Pintxos was our favorite. You cannot miss if you book this experience.

We truly enjoyed our time with Chef Mikel at the Gastronómica Cooking School. We learned so much about cutting vegetables properly and how to cook basque specialities. The meal was plentiful and wine free flowing - 2 Tcokolinas and a Tempernillo We cooked a full meal with pintxos, bread, salad, cheese and salame, fish stew delicious!!! - full ribeye steak, peppers and an amazing and award winning bread pudding-like dessert. Chef Mikel was fun, gave great tips and made the time go by so quickly. We highly recommend his classes!!

Our Chef, Mikel, was warm, fun and instructive. He made sure we participated in every step, and understood what to look for to ensure recipe success. I was interested in an additional dish we weren't making which Mikel was preparing to make after class for another event. He started making it while our group sat down to enjoy the meal we just made. Mikel was so kind and attentive, calling me over to the kitchen to observe the dish being made and sharing his tips. He even emailed me the additional recipe! The entire class experience was amazing! If back in Bilbao, we will definitely take another class with Mikel!

I got to the class knowing nobody, on vacation in Bilbao. There were 4 other participants 2 sisters from Wales and a couple from England. Mikel was a great instructor and the other students were competent cooks. We each had our own work station and did mostly the same prep work and pintxo assembly. I will probably recreate 3 of the 5 dishes at home. We also got to sample some local wine, which paired well with the pintxos.

Fabulous host and experience where you learn all about the ingredients, Basque history, wine, how to cook such flavoursome food. Really personal.

Such a fun experience to learn about basque culture and cooking. Mikel was brilliant, patient and very educational. Everything we helped creat was delicious, light and filling (in the best way). 10/10 recommend!
