A brilliant experience

Great experience!

Catia is lovely and we enjoyed her cooking class. It is very laid back and non intimidating. We were in her home sharing cooking duties with a French couple who spoke very little English. But we were all positive about it. The food we cooked was very good!

This cooking experience with Catia is an ABSOLUTE MUST DO!!! We toured the market and learned SO much about the history of Portugal through food. This experience was THE highlight of our trip and will be recommending to absolutely everyone we know who is traveling to Porto! Thank you Catia for such a FUN experience! 5 stars!!!
Best cooking class in Porto

We absolutely loved our class with Catia, she is working so hard to provide an amazing class with a small number of people. The visit to the market was excellent and she gave us loads of interesting information about Portugese foods, cooking and even some of the history. We had a great time, definitely recommend this when you come to Porto! Thanks Catia
History of portuguese food, camaraderie, delicious meal

Other reviewers have noted how brilliantly Catia has woven her heartfelt history of Portugal and her own family into each food stall at Bolhão Mercado and then came back to her kitchen to blend the ingredients with more history and flavorings and spices. I came away with a deeper love of Portugal as seen through its history and foods. She blended us into a cohesive working group that produced with her guidance a fantastic, memorable meal. Oh yes, the vinho verde was excellent too!
You cannot miss this exoerience!
Great afternoon cooking with Cátia

Eerst samen op de overdekte markt de ingrediënten kopen. Dan een wandeling naar het appartement, dat heel mooi ingericht is. Dan samen 3 gangan gekookt en lekker opgegeten. Wacht wel nog op de receptjes (zei dat ze dit 1x/week verstuurd, leef dus nog op hoop)
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
