    About this experience

    Cuban food is some of the most flavorful food you’ll try and being in Miami it is an absolute must try! Cuban cooking ingredients are simple, yet savory, and the style of cooking has been influenced by many peoples that passed through the island, including the Spaniards, the Africans, the French and the native peoples. In our quaint private residence, meet your cooking instructor and take part in a hands-on cooking lesson to include making an appetizer, a main course, and dessert. Other sample appetizers and libations will be available for your enjoyment, too! You’ll also have the opportunity to take home a copy of the recipes to so you can make a Cuban feast for your friends back at home!

    Highlight of the trip

    Annette, Aurora, and Alejandro were so hospitable and kind. They welcomed us to their home and everything felt comfortable. I learned a lot about past & present Cuba and Cuban food and drinks. And, everything was delicious! Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your review. We had tons of fun with your group! So grateful that you guys joined us!

    A whole lot of food and some great instructors

    It's hard to pick one "most favorite part." I mean, the food was outstanding. The location was beautiful. The hosts were knowledgeable about a number of Cuban and travel related subjects. They accommodated my wife and son's lactose intolerance. And did I mention the food was amazing?

    Response from the operator: Chris, such a pleasure to host your family during our Cuban cooking class! We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with you! Thank you so much for your review and for booking with us!

    Such a fun time!!!!

    My husband and I loved this class! Our hosts were so welcoming; we felt right at home in no time. The food was delicious, the sangria was the best we've ever had, and we are so excited to have all these recipes now and the confidence to execute them. It was wonderful to switch up date night and learn so much in the process! Highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Emily and Kevin, such a delight to have you both for our Cuban cooking class! Thanks for being such a fun couple and really appreciate the kind words! Buen provecho!

    Stuffed in Miami!

    Annette and her mom helped us celebrate Christmas Eve, Noche Buena, and our daughter's birthday in style. Menu items included some very traditional Cuban cuisine: Ropa Viaja, Beans and Rice, Stuffed Plantains, Flan, Pastelitas, Mojitos, and more! A lovely celebration and amazing food!

    Response from the operator: So wonderful to have you and your family with us! Thank you for the lovely review and for making our Christmas Eve a special one as well!

    Stuffed beyond belief.

    We had a lovely evening! Annette and her mom helped us prepare a feast on Christmas Eve! We were greeted on the screened-in porch with a Pastelito's y Corquetas, and a Cuban Sangria. This was followed by Make-your-own Mojitos, Ropa Vieja, fried plantains, and much more! Since it was our daughter's birthday the next day, Christmas Day, Annette provided a Cuban cake plus Flan, Cortado's (delicious Cuban coffee) and Coquito (a coconut cream and rum bebido!). We cooked outside and all wore masks, accommodating COVID-safe precautions. It was a perfect evening for our adult foodie family. We went home stuffed, recipes in hand and a Feliz Navidad!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your review. It was such a pleasure to meet your family and host you on such a special day! Hope you'll make some delicious Cuban recipes at home now! Happy New Year to your entire family and thank you for joining us!

    PRIVATE Traditional Cuban Cooking Class in Miami: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Miami.

    How much does PRIVATE Traditional Cuban Cooking Class in Miami cost?

    +

    Prices start at $165 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Miami usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does PRIVATE Traditional Cuban Cooking Class in Miami take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Miami is not rushed.

    Is PRIVATE Traditional Cuban Cooking Class in Miami worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Miami, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule PRIVATE Traditional Cuban Cooking Class in Miami?

    +

    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 PRIVATE Traditional Cuban Cooking Class in Miami suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book PRIVATE Traditional Cuban Cooking Class in Miami?

    +

    Around 2 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 Miami 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 Miami and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does PRIVATE Traditional Cuban Cooking Class in Miami 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 Miami 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 Miami?

    +

    Miami splits between the water and the neighbourhoods. Biscayne Bay boat tours, Key Biscayne snorkelling and Everglades airboats cover the first, while Wynwood mural walks, Little Havana food crawls and South Beach deco tours cover the second. We rank Everglades operators carefully: many depart from Miami but the good ones run their own boats rather than reselling seats. On Outty we rank every Miami experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 hrs Miami Private Boat with Cooler, Ice, Bluetooth Stereo, Little Havana Food and Walking Tour in Miami, Miami: 2 Hour Private Yacht Cruise. 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 Miami?

    +

    November to April, dry season, before hurricane and humidity months. 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 Miami?

    +

    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.
