Join Isabel for a memorable in-home dining experience in her beautiful townhouse in central Lisbon, featuring stunning city views from her terrace.

With 25 years of living in France, Isabel combines the best of Portuguese and French flavors, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests to feel at home. You can expect a lively, intimate gathering where you will not only savor delicious, thoughtfully prepared dishes but also connect with the stories and culture behind them. You can expect to try traditional Portuguese dishes such as caldo verde (velvety kale and potato soup with garlic and smoky slices of chorizo) and bacalhau à brás (tender shredded codfish sautéed with onions and crispy potatoes, scrambled with eggs and garnished with black olives). To finish your meal, indulge in arroz doce (creamy Portuguese rice pudding delicately flavored with cinnamon), paired with a glass of local wine (red or white), and a cup of tea or coffee for the perfect ending to your culinary journey.

"Wonderful taste of Lisbon! We had a wonderful time getting to know Isabel and her family in their lovely home (with a gorgeous view!). My two sons and I took the class, and she was patient and informative as we prepared the three dishes. I really recommend this class."

"This was our first time trying such an offering and we were immediately impressed. It will definitely become part of our travel routine. In this case, we were guided through the evening by the wonderful Isabel and her very personable husband. Isabel guided us with great patience and expertise, and the result was a wonderful Portuguese menu, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The view from the terrace was simply incredible. An all-around successful experience."
