Learn how to prepare the best homemade Pasteis de Nata! You can have a vegetarian/non vegetarian meal afterwards: starters with Tonic white Port , 3 courses and drinks included. For the FINALE... our own pasteis de nata with red Port Wine!
Our dinner with Patricia and her husband was such a lovely diversion from all the typical touristy sightseeing we had done and one of the highlights of our trip. They were so welcoming and friendly! Dinner was delicious (I could’ve eaten the whole plate of stuffed mushrooms!) and Patricia even sent us home with several pastel de natas and some fresh bay leaves!

Diving in to a local experience !
Helena was a wonderful host! From the very first chat on line to the details of dinner, giving us a true local experience.
Helena met us when our bolt driver dropped us off. She then showed us to her home. We listened to Fado music as she entertained us with a 3 course local family meal. This experience was exactly what we were looking for. She also gave us some local "dont,miss" places to see for the next few days.
After about 2.5 hours she walked us out and waited until our ride came.
Highly recommend!
Thank you again Helena for letting us be apart of life.

Amazing Experience! Must-Do!
We had a fantastic time with Patricia. The food and conversation were just amazing. She welcomed us into her home and shared stories. We learned so much! This was the best part of our entire trip to Portugal. Thank you, Patricia!

A Warm Welcome into a Local Home
I had a great time with Helena! She is very warm, open and friendly.
I joined her experience with my early teens. We went to the local butcher shop and supermarket together and then enjoyed chatting and appetizers while cooking together. I especially loved a glass of vinho verde with requeijão de ovelha! I liked this cheese so much that I ended up buying it several times during the rest of my stay in Portugal.
For the main course, she asked me in advance what we wanted, and although it was hard to choose as they were all appealing, we decided on the bacalhau dish. It was nice to see how to prepare bacalhau, a traditional ingredient that is an essential part of Portuguese cuisine.
Also, since it was right around Easter time, she prepared Easter cookie baking for my daughter and she had fun cutting up the cookies and decorating them with chocolate.
Thank you for a lovely relaxing evening!
