Lunch, a drink and recipes are included; vegetarian options are available, but vegan diets are not catered for, and pricing is per group. 4.95 from 39 reviews at €542 per group/vehicle for 2h. In our comparison: #39 of 76 in Food & Tapas Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview In this private Barcelona cooking class, food is more than just a meal. You’ll learn from a skilled local chef who is passionate about sharing authentic Catalan recipes and the stories behind them, and you’ll be supporting a local nonprofit at the same time. With a chef guiding you through each step, you’ll prepare three Catalan favorites: fresh gazpacho, traditional paella (with meat or vegetarian), and silky crema catalana. Along the way, you’ll use seasonal, sustainable ingredients, hear the stories behind the traditions, and learn tips you can take home. Your class also supports Mescladís’ mission to provide people from marginalized communities, such as refugees, free hands-on training that opens doors to careers in hospitality. After cooking, sit down to enjoy the meal you just made with a refreshing drink of your choice, such as wine, beer, or non-alcoholic options like seltzer, soda, and juice. It's a heartwarming, unforgettable taste of Barcelona’s culture and spirit. ## Before you book - Meeting point: We meet inside the Mescladís restaurant… - Starts 11:30: one departure a day - Food included: Authentic Catalan lunch - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Non-refundable: no free cancellation **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €542 per group/vehicle - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.95/5 from 39 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Operator: ExperienceFirst - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: English - Start times: 11:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-02 ## Reviews 4.95 from 39 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 39 of 39. - 5 stars: 37 (95%) - 4 stars: 2 (5%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ## What's included - A drink of your choice (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) - Authentic Catalan lunch - Private Spanish cooking class - Recipes to recreate at home - Private culinary instructor ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 11:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-02 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation All sales are final.
