3 tours · €139–€230 per person · ★ 4.8
A cooking class in San Sebastián turns the pintxos you ate last night into something you can make at home, and the 3 classes here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €139 per person for a hands on class with a market visit and lunch to €230 for a longer session with a choice of menus, from traditional Basque to fish cooking, that ends with the meal and paired wines around a wooden table. The dishes are the classics: gildas, Spanish tortilla, Basque burnt cheesecake and seasonal market produce.
A quick way to choose: decide between a class that starts at the market with the chef and one that stays in the kitchen, and check the age rules, since one class is not for children and another sets a minimum age. All of them cover a full meal, and wine is served to adults only. The best reviewed cooking classes in San Sebastián come first below.
