Cooking Classes in Porto

5 tours · €35–€193 per person · ★ 5.0

A cooking class is the most hands-on way to take a piece of Porto home, and the city's food is worth learning: the slow-cooked tripe that gave its people the nickname tripeiros, the over-the-top francesinha sandwich, and the custard tarts and broa cornbread that fill the markets. A class turns a meal into a skill.

The cooking classes on this page are ones we picked by hand, the ones run by people who actually cook rather than perform. When you compare cooking classes in Porto, look at the dish and the format. Some start with a market walk through the Bolhao to shop for ingredients, then cook a full Portuguese meal with wine; others focus on a single icon, the francesinha or the pastel de nata, in a tighter session. Small groups keep it personal and hands-on; a few run as private classes for a couple or a family. Most end the only way they should, sitting down to eat what you made.

For a rainy afternoon or a real taste of the north, a cooking class beats another restaurant. Come hungry, because you will be eating the results, usually with the local wine alongside.

5 Porto cooking classes from EUR 35. Handpicked hosts, market walks and hands-on Portuguese cooking with wine, free cancellation on most - easy to book online.
