Helena was wonderful. She was very accommodating to our food preferences. She is a warm and welcoming person and was very easy to communicate with to set up the class. It was lovely to experience the cooking class in a local home. It is an experience you will enjoy while you are there and remember for a long time after.

We had the nicest evening with our very welcoming hostess Helena. We started with engaging conversation over a variety of appetizers including cheese, olives, breads, and ham.. along with a very nice white port! Dinner focused on the best arroz de marisco either of us had ever had.. accompanied by a nice Vinho Verde! A very unique experience.. highly recommended!.

Love the experience. Helena was a great host and food was delish.

Enjoyed the time of learning something new and chatting while enjoying the yummy food:)

was the 1st time we have experienced this type of cooking leasson and the proximity and be in the house of a Poutuense it was amazing. I high recommend it.

Patricia and her husband were so warm, welcoming, and authentic. We had a group of us that ended up feeling like friends at the end of the afternoon. Really enjoyed Patricia's guidance on baking the Nata's and enjoyed the nice meal. 10/10 will be recommending to our friends.

Patricia and husband are amazing hosts. Light, crispy, airy, with a slight citrus note are Patricia Pasties de nata. Her pasties is a taste of home, each bite reminiscent of childhood. Where one pasties de nata is not enough. A true experience that will last a lifetime. Her light lunch spread and delicious homemade Port will be hard to beat.

This was just what I needed on my trip: A friendly welcome in Patricia’s home where her and her family were ready to eat dinner and share a night together. It felt truly like home! And the Pasteis De Nata recipe was amazing! Thanks to these wonderful people for a night at home away from home!

We had such a lovely evening spent having a home cooked dinner with Helena. She was full of knowledge on the city, super warm & welcoming, and her cooking is wonderful. Her home is lovely and she was such a kind lady that made our family feel so welcomed. This was a great local experience.

It was really lovely to meet Rui and Patricia. It was like having dinner with old friends. The dinner was delicious, very accommodating of our gluten free needs. The pasties de nata was easy to make, and we will definitely be re-creating it at home! As queer folx we felt very safe and comfortable. Highly recommend this experience.
