Additional Information
This is Portugal’s exclusive culinary session where you’ll gain an understanding of pastry creation within a genuine, award-winning Portuguese bakery, a brief 30 min journey from Lisbon!
The session initiates with a briefing on Pastel de Nata’s historical background coupled with an overview of the family-owned bakery where this workshop is conducted.
Once equipped, you’ll step into João’s personal ‘pastelaria’ kitchen. This is where the secrets of baking the universally adored Portuguese Custard Tarts are revealed!
The preparation of professional-grade puff pastry will be demonstrated to facilitate your understanding. Subsequently, we’ll concoct the custard from scratch and bake everything in a professional-grade oven. Throughout this session, we maintain a team spirit. Every participant will have the opportunity to handcraft a minimum of 3 tarts – from applying the specific Pastel de Nata dough-spreading technique to filling up the custard.
Ultimately, we’ll relish the freshly baked, hot tarts complemented by a cup of coffee.

Valeria and Silvia were amazing and so kind, the class was fun, and the pastries were delicious. The new shop is absolutely beautiful as well. We plan to stop back tomorrow to bring pastries home with us!

Wonderful family activity. Great for friends and couple too! - My 9yo daughter and I had a blast. She loved making and rolling the dough. The recipe was pretty straightforward (under the guidance of our gentle and descriptive pastry chef teacher). Then trying all the delicious pastries with a warm drink was the nata on the top for the visit). Absolutely loved!

Great class to learn the secrets behind Pastel de Nata! - I attended the Masterclass along with my wife and 14 year-old son. A bit risky bringing a teenager along? Not at all! He loved it!
The team at Nat'elier gave us a step-by-step guide to making Portugal's most famous tart and it was very much "hands-on" which is just what we wanted.
The group was 16 people which was larger than the maximum advertised (14) but still manageable. We were in groups of four and we each person made three tarts which were baked and then eaten! The amazing thing is they looked and tasted just like Pastel de Nata!!
Nat'elier does not just stick to the traditional tart but is enhancing it with additional toppings like tiramisu, creme brule and apple and cinnamon. The purists might shudder but that is before they have tried them. Delicious!
The Masterclass takes about 90 minutes and it was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Lisbon. Thoroughly recommended!

Very Sweet Treat - This turned out to be so much fun and I don’t bake at all! The fresh out of the oven pastel de nata even made by us amateurs were incredibly tasty (you can’t eat just one when they taste this good!) AND the most awesome coffee drinks made by the barista were included. The space was super chic yet respectful of the historical building- the pictures don’t do it justice. Honestly, a very sweet treat and well worth it!

Yummy and fun - This was a wonderful experience. Chef João is so passionate and it could be seen through his lesson. He gave excellent tips on how to recreate at home and the place had excellent drinks during the lesson. And of course the natas were wonderful
