This cooking class and market tour are our most popular offering. Together, the tour and the class take approximately four hours.

During this 'behind the scenes' guided tour, you will meet many vendors, some of whom have been there for generations. You will learn about locally grown products and participate in the selection of ingredients that will be used later in the cooking class. Upon returning to our kitchen, you will begin preparing the four course menu. All our classes are designed for every skill level and are taught by professionally trained bilingual chefs. The classes provide a fun, social, hands-on experience, where you will be participating in the preparation of the various dishes under the thoughtful guidance of our chef instructors. Unlimited wines are included. All our menus can be adapted to accommodate any food restriction you may have, vegan included.

My daughter (17) and I (53) had a fantastic morning with our amazing chef Antonio. There were no other participants that day, so we had Antonio all to ourselves and were able to ask him a million questions, and he answered and explained everything that we wanted to know. He even gave us restaurant tips and tips to barcelona’s best markets. It was a great experience, from the visit to Boqueria market to the preparation of the various dishes to finally eating and enjoying it all. And this was such a lovely thing for us to do together. Will definitely try to make it all again when we get home!! PS! Come hungry!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! We are delighted that you and your daughter had such a special morning together and enjoyed the personalized experience with Antonio—from exploring La Boqueria to the final bite. It was a pleasure sharing our favorite local market and restaurant tips with you both. Have fun recreating the dishes at home, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

We hope it brought back some great memories, and we'd love to welcome you back the next time you're in Barcelona! 🥘❤️
We had a fantastic experience cooking with our 10 and 14 year olds cooking with Juan. The food was delicious and we learned so much about cooking, about Barcelona, and about Spain. It was a true pleasure and a highlight of our trip. It was also a lot of food!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that cooking with Juan was a highlight of your trip to Barcelona. Juan loves sharing not just recipes, but the rich history and culture of Spain, so it’s fantastic to know that you and your 10 and 14-year-olds walked away with both full bellies and new knowledge! And yes, we definitely make sure no one leaves hungry! We hope you took some great memories (and maybe a recipe or two) back home with you. We’d love to cook with your family again next time you're in Spain!
We loved our cooking class! We had a large family (16 people) of various ages and had a blast. The food was delicious and a great representative of typical Spanish cuisine. The kids (3 to 18 years old) all loved the experience and walked away with a love for cooking. We also loved our journey to the market!!!!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! Hosting your family was an absolute pleasure. It is not always easy to keep a group ranging from 3 to 18 years old entertained, so we are absolutely thrilled to hear that the kids had a blast and walked away with a newfound love for cooking!
Absolutely — here is a polished 90-word version: We absolutely loved this Barcelona cooking class. As people who love food and love to learn, it was the perfect experience for us. The class was warm, welcoming, and hands-on, with just the right balance of cooking, culture, and fun. We learned so much about the ingredients, techniques, and traditions behind the dishes, while also enjoying a relaxed and memorable evening. It felt personal, authentic, and delicious from start to finish. We would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Barcelona.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted you enjoyed the experience and appreciated the mix of cooking, culture, and hands-on learning. It was a pleasure sharing Barcelona’s culinary traditions with you, and we hope to welcome you back for another delicious evening in the future! 😊
Our party of 6 had the best time cooking w/Chef Juan. He was very entertaining as well as a great teacher. First went to the market & then we made the best gazpacho, paella, & potato & egg pie.
Thank you! We're delighted your group loved the market tour and cooking with Chef Juan. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words about the gazpacho, paella, and tortilla!

Fun, educational, fun, informative and all the food was delicious!
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re glad you found the experience fun, informative, and delicious. Hope to welcome you back again soon.
Such a nice experience! We started by going to the market where we got a tour and tips on good food to try and what to choose. Then when we got back we made an amazing strawberry gazpacho, paella, bread with tomato, omelet and a Spanish version of crème brûlée. We could take as much white/red wine as we wanted, and there was also a really hot alcohol free drink :) We got lots of good tips for cooking in general and our chef was super nice and fun!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re glad you enjoyed the market visit, the cooking, and the atmosphere. It’s great to hear the dishes and wine selection stood out, and that you found the tips helpful. We’ll be sure to pass your feedback along to the chef. Hope to see you again soon.
Chef Juan was wonderful, very friendly, he made us feel like we were old friends. Most importantly he taught us a lot about cooking in general as well as the multiple dishes we prepared and cooked under his watchful care! The most fun cooking class I’ve ever attended. You won’t be sorry if you sign up for the wonderful class The trip through the Rambles market was so informative and exciting. Not to be missed!!!
