Chef Luca made the experience so special. From the meeting point, we walked a short distance to the market that was unbelievable and so special. We then headed to a private space where he already had prepared sangria, tapas and the prep area for us to join him in cooking the paella. We had a small group of eight, strangers at first then friends by the end. I highly recommend this experience to make your stay in Barcelona extraordinary.

Wonderful paella class

My friends and I had so much fun! Our tour guide was really funny. This was one of my favorite experiences in Barcelona and I don’t even normally like to cook! This was so much fun!

Excellent paella. Very good mood in the group. Easy to understand class and replicable recipe. A nice experience overall.

Unsatisfied

We didn’t get what the description gave as our experience. It said we’d be learning to make tapas and sangria and cooking. We did not learn tapas or sangria. Also we walked to the market with the chef where he did the purchasing. He was knowledgeable about the history. But when we got to the kitchen, the guests were able to help prepare the ingredients but we did not cook anything. Which was the point of the class for me. We also had roaches on our table when we went back to sit down. Also, several guests were late to the class so we started 30 minutes late, and some of those same guests wandered off at the market and we had to wait. This was not supposed to be a restaurant experience but a learning experience.

I'm glad that we chose this tour

This was a great experience for our family (including our tween). The group was larger than we expected, but Alex did a great job sharing his knowledge and passion with us. The food and Sangria were also great - so was the brief tour of the Boqueria Market.

Cooking

Don’t book on a Sunday because the market will not be open. The cooking lesson and subsequent partaking of the paella was a lot of fun.

Great evening

Had a great night. The guide took extensive time to explain both the city and the food. Cozy conversations with other participants. Because much had already been prepared, cooking was limited to preparing vegetables and fish. The chef did a lot himself. We had expected a workshop of 2 hours, but that became 3.

This experience was a 10/10 all around. You get to go through the Boqueria market & see all the amazing vendors. The cooking class itself was an immersive experience, and you get to meet cool people along the way. The food is authentic, and it was the best paella I had in Spain.

Best Experience Ever!

Chef Kako was phenomenal!! He was a true wealth of knowledge with an amazing touch of charm. I would highly recommend this experience. Best paella I’ve ever had and the secret ingredient was the icing on the cake. The trip to the market made us feel like we were in a movie 😍. 15/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
