Experience a different side of Portuguese cuisine by going beyond the familiar pastel de nata and learning to prepare the savoury food locals genuinely love.
This is more than a tasting: you’ll cook three distinctive Portuguese recipes yourself, discover the stories behind them and then enjoy your creations as a full meal with local wine and ginja. The combination of hands-on cooking, cultural storytelling and relaxed shared dining offers an authentic taste of Portuguese hospitality that you can take home with you.

What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet us at our groundfloor kitchen, Compadre Cooking School on Rua Heliodoro Salgado number 14 in Lisbon
What to expect
During this two-hour hands-on cooking class, you’ll prepare three traditional favourites with guidance from our friendly local instructors:
• Bifana — Portugal’s iconic pork sandwich
• Caldo verde — a comforting traditional green collards soup
• Peixinhos da horta — crispy green bean fritters often linked to the origins of tempura
Begin with a short introduction to the dishes and their place in Portuguese culture. Then roll up your sleeves and cook alongside the other participants, learning techniques and recipes that are simple enough to recreate at home.
Once the cooking is complete, sit down together and enjoy everything you have prepared as a full meal, accompanied by Portuguese wine and a tasting of ginja, Lisbon’s traditional sour cherry liqueur.
No previous cooking experience is required. Just arrive hungry and ready to cook, eat and have fun.
