We enjoyed the chef, the market tour and cooking dinner with a group of lovely people. The food was not that great when we sat down to dinner. The experience before eating was very enjoyable and informative

We thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class with chef Janelle. She was welcoming, funny, and a great teacher. We not only learned how to cook paella, Spanish tortilla, and crème Catalan, but also she taught us about culinary traditions in different regions of Spain. We also enjoyed delicious tapas as we chopped (best we had on our trip). The space right on Plaça Reial is charming, with tremendous views of the square. And our short tour to the Mercat de la Boqueria to buy clams and mussels was informative and fun. We enjoyed the evening thoroughly and can’t recommend it highly enough.

Alfredo and James are truly fantastic! They created an environment where we truly felt like family. Alfredo welcomed us into his kitchen and took us on a culinary journey through each region of Spain. We feel so fortunate to have had this experience! Highly recommend for anyone traveling to Barcelona.

Experience began on time. Good orientation tour of Boqueria Market. Received good information on what to buy. Would have liked more info on what to avoid. Beautiful cooking & dining space. Small group. Chef was informative about local culture, food & ingredients. Tapas were delicious. Paella was decent. All staff were seamless & friendly.
