Groups stay small (max 12), so your host guides you properly at every step.

Best Paella Cooking Class in Barcelona!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rice to Meet You was easily one of the highlights of our entire trip to Barcelona! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely fantastic.
Luis was amazing—warm, welcoming, entertaining, and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for cooking, Spanish food, and the culture of Spain came through in everything he shared. He didn’t just teach us how to make paella; he made the whole experience fun, personal, and memorable. We learned so much while laughing, cooking, eating, and enjoying every minute.
The entire experience was so well done, and the food was incredible. It felt like so much more than a cooking class—it was a wonderful taste of Spanish culture and hospitality.
Of everything we did in Barcelona, this was at the very top of our list. If you’re visiting Barcelona, do yourself a favor and book Rice to Meet You. It is an absolute must!
Thank you, Luis, for such an unforgettable experience. We’ll be talking about this one for a long time! 🇪🇸🥘❤️
Operator response
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It means the world to us to know that the experience became one of the highlights of your trip to Barcelona.
Luis will be delighted to hear your kind words. Sharing our passion for paella, Spanish culture and hospitality is exactly what Rice to Meet You is all about—and knowing that you had such a fun and memorable time around our table makes us incredibly happy.
Thank you for cooking, laughing and sharing the experience with us. We hope to welcome you back to Barcelona for another paella someday! 🇪🇸🥘❤️

Fantastic cooking experience
We were a mixed group of 2 mums and 3 older teen boys. Mums keen … boys not so, but we all had a brilliant time! Host was very warm and welcoming… restaurant/ kitchen very organised and we all loved eating the individual paella dishes we cooked ! We were also given lovely tortillas on tomato bread and a delicious dessert. Wine flowed throughout the experience (carva and 2 different white wines … all delicious). Would totally recommend!
Operator response
hank you so much for your lovely review! We’re especially happy to hear that even the less enthusiastic members of the group ended up having a brilliant time—that’s always a wonderful compliment!
It was a pleasure welcoming you all, cooking together and seeing everyone enjoy their own paella. We’re also glad you loved the tapas, dessert, cava and wines. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to cook with you again next time you’re in Barcelona! 🥘🥂

An experience that must be repeated
The paella workshop was an excellent experience. We learned to make it step by step, with a good pace and clear explanations, and the best part is that you cook it yourself and then eat your own paella. The atmosphere is super pleasant, perfect for going in a group or as a couple. The friendly and fun service at all times, and the quality-price ratio is unbeatable for everything it includes. We left delighted and eager to return. Highly recommended.
