Overview

Through this experience you will be able to visit a traditional market in the city of Porto where you will have an introduction to the customs and traditions of the local inhabitants.

After visiting the Market, time to head to our space located at Rua do Pilar 80, Vila Nova de Gaia, to prepare a typical Portuguese meal, where cod cannot be missing. Participation in the making is optional, however encouraged.

As the Portuguese love it, after the meal is ready it's time to sit down at the table and enjoy the food, local wine and most importantly, the company.

Visit the most authentic municipal market in the city, where the guide will introduce it to the influence of Portuguese products worldwide while experiencing the traditional environment of one of the most important buildings for the city's population.

On a 5 minute metro trip, passing the upper level of the iconic "Luis I" bridge we we will reach "Jardim do Morro ", with one of the best views about the city of Porto. From there it is less than 5 minutes walk to our kitchen space.

Then you will learn how to cook the Portuguese traditional meal. We encourage our guests to help, but if you just want to watch, enjoy the meal and the conversation it's perfectly fine.
In this experience, the host will alternately give participants the opportunity to participate in the different stages of making the dishes. If you want to participate in all stages of the making, please contact us for a private session.

Great tour and class by fun and knowledgeable guides. A great changeup from the usual walk and eat type of food tours. The market they took us to is the biggest one in Porto and the produce and products there are high quality, which makes for a fun tour (I wish we could sample more of the food we saw, but understand that would interfere with lunch which is what we cooked in class). Highly recommend for a fun and useful experience!

We really enjoyed walking through the market and our host, sharing with us the history of Porto. He was knowledgeable and funny. When we went to the kitchen, his partner was also knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Both did a great job of including the whole group and we enjoyed the others in our group. We came home with great recipes and skills.

Nuno and Joseph were wonderful guides/chef tutors. A great way to start a day shopping in the magnificent market then wandering to the kitchen to cook 3 courses. We will definitely be having a go back home, particularly the pasteis de nata which was delicious. The jewish sausage was very tasty as was the cheese and marmalades. Very enjoyable

Nuno is a passionate, knowledgeable guide through the market tour. I felt it was one knowledge bomb after another in terms of Portugal history, the linguistic influence, and food history. It was truly astounding how much we learned! The cooking class is more of a demonstration. Yes, you can take turns to cut/stir, but majority of the time you're just watching. The food was still yummy and filling.
