Excellent. Absolutely no complaints. Bed was good,room service was invisible, location could not be faulted. We had four days in the heart of lisbon's tourist region with good access to public transport,facilities,cafes,restuarants and bakeries. A very happy camper

Experiencing an evening with Chef Ze is like no other immersive cooking/dining experience. A reason to go to Lisbon!
Dining with Chef Ze in his home was the highlight of my 14 day Food & Wine tour throughout Portugal. Chef Ze welcomed the 5 of us around his cozy pre-set dining table with an appetizing presentation of 2 local cheeses, sausage, bread, tomato jam & olive oil where the first of many wines was poured & described while we learned Chef Ze’s passion for gatherings in his home & we shared our recent Portuguese experiences. The exchange flowed learning cultural facts about neighborhoods & different regions. I thoroughly enjoyed the balance of Chef Ze’s preparation of starter dishes/dessert & our hands on technique learning, tasting & cooking in the kitchen all paired with the perfect wines! Our shared passion for Portugese food & wine & life throughout the night felt more like visiting a friend. While the evening menu was established before arrival Chef Ze was like a magician throughout the night each time he opened the 70 bottle wine cooler & pulled the most divine wines taking our palates to another level. Experiencing an evening with Chef Ze is like no other immersive cooking/dining experience in the world. Memorable in every way! It is truly a reason for traveling to Lisbon.

We had an incredible...
We had an incredible evening with Jose at his flat. The food was amazing, he taught us about balancing flavors and using techniques to enhance the dish and also offered valuable insight into Portuguese history and culture. The wine pairings were also excellent and he explained where the wines came from and why he paired them with the food. One of the highlights of our trip!

Cancelled Us Last Minute
We had a reservation, paid in full and was confirmed by the host. Then at the last minute the host canceled us for no reason. I expect it was because we were two people and he got a larger group and bumped us. He said it was just business. Be very careful. The low rating is deserved.

Portuguese hospitality at its best!
Phenomenal food, wine, conversation and hospitality with host Ze! We felt at home and enjoyed our evening with Ze immensely.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Authentic Portuguese Cooking Class and Dinner in a Lisbon Home: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Authentic Portuguese Cooking Class and Dinner in a Lisbon Home cost?
+
Prices start at $213 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Authentic Portuguese Cooking Class and Dinner in a Lisbon Home take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Authentic Portuguese Cooking Class and Dinner in a Lisbon Home worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Authentic Portuguese Cooking Class and Dinner in a Lisbon Home?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Authentic Portuguese Cooking Class and Dinner in a Lisbon Home suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Authentic Portuguese Cooking Class and Dinner in a Lisbon Home?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Authentic Portuguese Cooking Class and Dinner in a Lisbon Home start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
