"We had a great time with Nuno. He is knowledgeable and loves to share his country's cuisine. It was one of the best meals we have had so far in Portugal and definitely the best company. Highly recommended. Thanks Nuno."
"Fantastic cooking class with Nuno! Fun, relaxed, and very welcoming. We learned a lot about Porto and Portuguese culture, and the group was great company. The comfortable environment made it feel special and personal. It truly brought our trip to life—highly recommend."
"Amazing experience with Nuno! Highly recommend. He is extremely knowledgeable about the local food market scene as well as Portugal history and architecture!"
"Absolutely amazing cooking class in Porto! ⭐️ Nuno reached out the day before to ask about our preferences, and the entire experience was perfectly tailored to what we like. We started by shopping for fresh ingredients together, then cooked a three-course lunch from scratch using only local Portuguese products. The food was incredible, the wines he served were fantastic, and Nuno guided us through every step in such a relaxed and enjoyable way. It truly felt like an authentic and personal experience. My fiancé and I had the best time, and Nuno also gave us great recommendations for restaurants, areas, and things to do in Porto. Without a doubt the best cooking class we’ve ever been to. Highly recommend!"
