Before we get our hands in the dough, we start with something a little different…
Port wine is one of Portugal’s most iconic drinks, known all over the world — and we want to show you how it can also be fresh, fun, and a little unexpected.
So before diving into the Pastéis de Nata, you’ll step into the role of a bartender for a moment. With professional bar tools at your disposal, you’ll learn how to make your own Portonic cocktail — simple, refreshing, and surprisingly delicious.
It’s the perfect way to break the ice — everyone relaxes, connects, and gets into the right mood for the experience. And of course, we’ll all raise a glass together and say “Saúde!” — just like a true local.
And don’t worry… we’ll still teach you everything about Pastéis de Nata (we just hope you don’t get too distracted after your cocktail ).
This little moment has become a favourite — guests love it and often say it’s something they’ll definitely recreate at home.
And now… let’s step into one of Portugal’s most irresistible rituals — the moment a warm Pastel de Nata comes out of the oven.
In this hands-on experience, you won’t just follow a recipe — you’ll feel the textures, smell the buttery layers of pastry, and watch the custard turn perfectly golden as it bakes.
At The Kitchen, it’s not just about making Pastéis de Nata — it’s about truly understanding them. We’ll share all the tips and tricks that make the difference between “good” and exceptional homemade Pastéis de Nata.
During the class, you will:
• Create a smooth, rich custard from scratch
• Work the dough into delicate, flaky layers
• Assemble your own homemade Pastéis de Nata
• Bake them until perfectly golden and slightly caramelised on top
To keep the experience dynamic, fun, and interactive, some steps may be shared in pairs — a great way to connect with others while still being fully involved in the process.
And then comes the best (and hardest) part…
Your Pastéis de Nata come out of the oven, warm, golden, smelling incredible — and yes, we’ll tell you to wait a bit before eating them… but let’s be honest: most people don’t
That first bite — crispy, creamy, still slightly too hot — is all part of the experience.
And if you prefer (or if you manage to resist), you can always take your Pastéis de Nata with you and enjoy them later.
