Michelin Star Secrets Cooking Class in San Sebastian

Excellent and very enjoyable class with Patricio, who is so knowledgeable, welcoming and explains and teaches in a very approachable, delightful way. His love and passion for food were really appreciated, and it left me feeling inspired when I left. Was the best cooking class I've experienced in Europe! I was so impressed that I also signed up for his local seafood cooking class. Also booked a walking tour lunch Pintxo with a guide, which was also very enjoyable as he was warm, and everything we experienced was amazing. Thank you so much, Theresa from Canada

I had the most wonderful time whilst in San Sebastián and it was made all the better because of the 3 activities I took part in through Mimo! My first experience was the pintxos and wine tour on my first night. Kai was a terrific guide and gave me a great introduction to the best bars including how and what to order. I would thoroughly recommend this tour if you want to get acquainted and confident with the San Sebastián pintxos scene. I then took part in 2 cooking classes which were both fantastic. Patricio was an amazing and patient teacher who made everyone feel relaxed and welcome in the Mimo kitchen. The food we prepared as a group was simply stunning. The Michelin Secrets class showcased the range of technical skills required to create culinary masterpieces. I can honestly say it’s one of the most enjoyable days I’ve had in a classroom. I then returned for the Fish Cooking class a couple of days later and thoroughly enjoyed that day too. The food that we prepared as a group on both days was delicious and it was so wonderful to sit down around the communal table at the end of the day and enjoy what we’d prepared with some lovely local wines. I also have some new skills and confidence to try some of the techniques and recipes at home. In summary, I would recommend booking a Mimo class or tour without hesitation. These activities were the absolute highlight of my trip and I’m already planning my next visit so that I can enrol in some additional classes!

This was an experience of a lifetime. It was a class of just 10 people, so very intimate and hands on. The Mimo chefs were very professional but also a lot of fun. 5 hours flew by so quickly, but the memories will last forever. When I’m back in San Sebastián, I’ll be attending again.

MIMO is the best gourmet cooking class I have ever taken. This was my sixth visit to the school. The experience is overall wonderful. The chefs are excellent and extreme nice . I have taken most of their classes and cannot tell you which one was my favorite because they were all great.

I had a fantastic time. A very pleasant morning. Very friendly and professional staff, a fabulous experience to repeat

As avid foodies, loving cooking, eating and visiting restaurants we decided to book the Michelins Secrets cookery course during our stay in San Sebastian. It exceeded all our expectations, Eneko was chilled, he looked after us and created a fun learning environment. We learnt new techniques , ate the amazing food we cooked sat around a gorgeous communal table ( we were a party of 4 and there was another party of 3 , so 7 in total) . Laura shared her knowledge of wines as we sampled different wines with each course, as well as topping our glasses as we prepped and cooked. The space is modern, very tasteful, , very well organised and a great layout. Would definitely recommend , 10 out of 10 Eneko and Team Mimo.

What an excellent class! Not only we’re the techniques exactly what I was looking for, but also the chefs made it a lot of fun and answered my other molecular gastronomy questions too! They even got me the additional recipe I requested in time for me to prep & create for New Year’s Eve dinner party tonight! I can’t wait for another class! Thank you!

This was our 2nd class at Mimo. We learned cooking in an intimate environment where we were able to personally interact with our talented chef Mikel. The atmosphere he created was very positive, highly engaging and welcoming. There was certainly a lot of wine and great food, but what I loved most was that there was a lot of laughter. It was a unique and truly unforgettable experience. The opportunity to meet and interact with so many food-lovers from around the world was just a delight. What's more, throughout the class we learned some real Michelin tips and tricks which we are definitely taking home with us!. Eskerrik asko, Mikel and Mimo Bite The Experience! We will be back!

Wow, this is amazing! We cooked in a HUGE, professional kitchen with every imaginable gadget We were so well looked after, we had drinks, the chefs know how to make sure we all felt at home and hit just the right note of humour while showing us how to cook the dishes. We learnt some amazing techniques, ate everything we made and drank plenty of wine :) I honestly couldn't fault a thing. I wasn't sure if it would be worth the money as it does cost a lot, but I came away thinking it has been worth every penny. I would go again in a heartbeat.

Only in a city like San Sebastián, with more Michelin Star Chefs and restaurants than anywhere else in the world, one can expect to visit such school. Amazing class, unique experience, helpful staff, incredibly professional and knowledgeable chef Miguel…. I took the “Secrets of Michelin Star Chef” class, and WOW, what a memorable experience! The menu was superb and exquisite, the ambiance was adorable and welcoming and the food tasted heavenly! I took many cooking classes before and create gourmet dinners myself, yet I learned a lot and enjoyed it immensely! Thank you Lara and Chef Miguel!
