I love to cook, and one of my favorite ways to get to know a place is through its flavors. Whenever…read moreI travel, I try to squeeze in a cooking class or two, and this one in Lisbon was a standout. The class was small, which meant I got real attention from the chefs instead of getting lost in a crowd. And the chefs? Fun, friendly, and clearly passionate about Portuguese cooking. They kept the energy high, made it easy to ask questions, and made the whole experience so enjoyable and fun. I made two Portuguese classics from scratch. We started with the star of the show: pastel de nata, the iconic Portuguese egg tart with a flaky, buttery shell and a creamy custard center. You see them all over Portugal, and I ate them every chance I got, so learning to make my own was a treat. While the pastry chilled, we moved on to pataniscas de bacalhau, crispy codfish fritters that are a staple of Portuguese cuisine. Salty, savory, golden, delicious. I forgot to grab the recipes before I left, and Compadre came through right away. One simple request and they emailed them to me promptly. That kind of service seals the deal. I walked away with new skills and recipes I can actually use back home. It's a fun, hands-on way to experience Portugal beyond the usual sightseeing. I'd happily take another class with Compadre Cooking School. I think you'll enjoy this!

The food was tasty and I also got exposed to my favorite peri peri hot sauce that can be found in Portugal grocery stores. The locale was clean, spacious and had modern equipment. Me and my girls had a ton of fun and met some cool people at our table! I would 100% do this again. Pro tip: leave extra wiggle room to find the building. Figuring out the streets to get here was a little bit confusing, and there was a section of construction that threw us off. They so kindly waited for our arrival while we were about 10 minutes late.

I highly recommend this for an online experience and if I ever make it back to Lisbon I will go in person. Wish I had gone when I was there in November 2019! I will say the birthday add-on is not worth it. It was almost 70 USD, almost twice the cost of the ticket for the experience, and consisted of a song by the host and a birthday candle in a fake cake. Skip it.
