Overview

This is more than just following a recipe — it’s about being part of the process from start to finish.

At The Kitchen, you’ll learn by doing, feeling the textures, working the dough, and watching your Pastéis de Nata come out of the oven golden and warm.

There’s a natural balance between learning and enjoying the moment. You’ll be focused when it matters, but there’s always space to relax, chat, and share the experience with others around you.

We keep the atmosphere small, welcoming, and hands-on, so everyone is involved and comfortable throughout the class.

And then, of course, comes the question we hear all the time:
“Can we save them for tomorrow?”

Our answer is always the same — these are the best Pastéis de Nata you’ll have, because you made them yourself… so eat them fresh.

If you feel like having more tomorrow, you already know what to do — make them again.

That’s exactly how we want you to leave The Kitchen: confident, proud, and already thinking about the next batch.

What's included

Personalized guidance and attention throughout the class
Opportunities for cultural exchange
At the end of the class, we will eat the custard tarts that were cooked during the class.

What to expect

Learn how to make Portugal’s most iconic pastry in this fun, hands-on Pastel de Nata cooking class in Lagos.

In just 2 hours, you’ll become a pro at making homemade Pastéis de Nata from scratch — from creamy custard to perfectly baked, golden pastries. Guided step by step by our team, you’ll learn the techniques behind this traditional recipe in a relaxed and social environment.

This experience is perfect for food lovers who want to do more than just taste Portuguese cuisine — you’ll create it yourself.

During the class, you will:

• Make the custard from scratch
• Prepare and work the pastry
• Assemble your own Pastéis de Nata
• Bake them until perfectly golden

Some steps may be shared in pairs to keep the experience dynamic and interactive.

At the end, enjoy your freshly baked Pastéis de Nata — warm, crispy, and just out of the oven. If you prefer, you can also take them with you.

What’s included

• All ingredients and equipment
• 3 homemade Pastéis de Nata per person
• A tasting with a glass of Port wine
• Tea or juice as a non-alcoholic option
• Water throughout the experience
