Such a delightful experience with Joana expertly guiding the group through the stages of baking. I look forward to trying again at home!! It was a lovely way to end the session by sitting round the table together talking & eating our pasteis de nata.

Full description

Experience authentic Portuguese cuisine during this baking class in a cozy Porto home. Gather in the kitchen and learn how to prepare pasteis de nata (Portuguese custard tarts) following a local grandma's recipe. End your experience at the table with drinks and fresh pastries. 


Get welcomed into your host’s home and start by learning about your host and their family. After getting acquainted, roll up your sleeves and get ready to bake everything from scratch. Enjoy working in a calm space with lots of natural light and get everything you’ll need for a fun baking time.


Following a recipe that has belonged to your host’s grandmother for years, learn how to create pasteis de nata with lots of love, time, and care. Everybody will get to help, taking turns and learning fun facts about the pastry.

Meeting point

Your host’s home is just 10 minutes away by car from Porto city center. It’s recommended to use Bolt, or Uber for a fast ride. If you’re traveling with more than two people, it is the cheapest and fastest way. If you have your own car, there are free parking spots in the street. If traveling by bus from Bolhão, you can take bus 800 or 801 that stops just across the street from the house (direct 20-minute ride). Keep in mind that you can only buy the ticket inside the bus with coins. If traveling by metro from Trindade Station, you can take the Orange Metro Line (direct 30-minute ride) and leave at the Fânzeres stop, after which it takes about a 10-minute walk (700 meters) to reach the house. When arriving to the address the host is waiting for you inside her home, please ring the doorbell with the writtings " 2 Andar".

We had a great time making Pastel de Nata with our lovely host. To welcoming us into your home and teaching us your grandmas recipe was very special. We bought our tins in Porto and will be definitely baking when we get bs k to Australia.
