The four of us really enjoyed our time with Patricia and Rui. They were interesting and knowledgeable on many subjects. It was lovely to spend time in their home to see how they lived. Patricia had prepared a delicious Portuguese meal for us. She explained how her main dish was prepared so that it could be duplicated at home. We then were able to participate by preparing the dessert. The time flew by. Not To Be Missed

We had the pleasure in celebrating our grandson’s birthday with an evening in making delicious natas and a tasty meal with Patricia’s family. It was a very enjoyable experience making the natas and conversing about Portugal. A very special evening. I would recommend this unique experience to anyone wanting an authentic experience in Porto. A beautiful evening!

I went by myself for a pasteis de nata workshop at Patrica and Rui's house. We made the custard and used shop bought puff pastry for the cases. I was a bit disappointed we didn't make our own pastry, though I understand it's very time consuming so probably a bit difficult for a 3 hour workshop. It was really nice to be in a Portuguese family's house and Patricia and her family were very welcoming. She was great at catering to my vegetarian diet and she gave me lots of port and vinho verde which was delicious! I really enjoyed chatting to Patricia and her family and practicing my Portuguese, and the pasteis were delicious and kept me fueled on the Caminho which I started the next day!A very Portuguese evening!

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening with Patricia making Pastel da Nata and eating dinner with her family. It was a wonderful evening getting to know a bit more about Porto and Portugal. Great night. Glimpse at life in Porto

Patricia and her family (son and husband) welcomed us with open arms. We booked last minute and Patricia was so flexible to make it work. Upon arrival we were greeted with drinks and snacks. The evening continued into making the dessert and eating a delicious Seafood soup. Patricia continued to offer other options and ensure we were happy (even offering a break her father made for her). So glad we did this experience.Great Local Immersive Experience

Patricia, her husband and son were super open and welcoming into their home, exactly as advertised and great communication before we arrived, making this a stressfree experience. Amazing fresh food, the best Pasteis de nata(custard tarts) we tasted in Porto with an easy but delicious recipe and a secret ingredient 😉. Patricia was great in getting my teenagers to make them themselves 🥰 Great evening with new friends made. Obrigada 🥰Fun, welcoming, unique and authentic 😊

The hospitality of Patricia and her family is top notch. We really enjoyed getting to know them personally as we shared perspectives and got a little piece of home style Portuguese culture. Patricia is warm, friendly, and provided a lovely environment for friendship. We left feeling we were treated like family. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to be a part of a local family experience. Fun with great food and good conversation

Patricia welcomed us into her home. We were greeted at the door by her husband and he immediately offered us a drink and charcuterie. We then began making the pastry. Patricia was patient and informative throughout the lesson process. We were served a traditional lunch. During lunch we learned about porto culture. At the end we ate our pastel de natas. They were delicious and we hope to make them at home with our family. The best part was leaving with the feeling that we are part of the family. Feeling at home

After a nearly three week trip to Portugal, this was by far one of our most outstanding experiences during our remaining few days. We enjoyed having conversation with a local family as we learn the intricacies of making a popular Portuguese dessert. It was educational to learn of the experiences of a family living day- to-day in this country. This is an experience tourists do not typically receive by simply visiting historical sites, shopping, museums, and churches. It was wonderful to spend an evening in a family's home having dinner and enjoying good conversation with new friends. Thank you, Patricia and family.A wonderful family dinner!
