Interactive Paella & Market: Bottomless Wine & Rambla Views
Description
This cooking class and market tour are our most popular offering. Together, the tour and the class take approximately four hours. The tour starts with accompanying our chefs to the world famous La Boqueria market, located nearby. During this 'behind the scenes' guided tour, you will meet many vendors, some of whom have been there for generations. You will learn about locally grown products and participate in the selection of ingredients that will be used later in the cooking class. Upon returning to our kitchen, you will begin preparing the four course menu. All our classes are designed for every skill level and are taught by professionally trained bilingual chefs. The classes provide a fun, social, hands-on experience, where you will be participating in the preparation of the various dishes under the thoughtful guidance of our chef instructors. Unlimited wines are included. All our menus can be adapted to accommodate any food restriction you may have, vegan included.

Absolutely — here is a polished 90-word version: We absolutely loved this Barcelona cooking class. As people who love food and love to learn, it was the perfect experience for us. The class was warm, welcoming, and hands-on, with just the right balance of cooking, culture, and fun. We learned so much about the ingredients, techniques, and traditions behind the dishes, while also enjoying a relaxed and memorable evening. It felt personal, authentic, and delicious from start to finish. We would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Barcelona.

Our party of 6 had the best time cooking w/Chef Juan. He was very entertaining as well as a great teacher. First went to the market & then we made the best gazpacho, paella, & potato & egg pie.
Thank you! We're delighted your group loved the market tour and cooking with Chef Juan. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words about the gazpacho, paella, and tortilla!

Fun, educational, fun, informative and all the food was delicious!
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re glad you found the experience fun, informative, and delicious. Hope to welcome you back again soon.
Such a nice experience! We started by going to the market where we got a tour and tips on good food to try and what to choose. Then when we got back we made an amazing strawberry gazpacho, paella, bread with tomato, omelet and a Spanish version of crème brûlée. We could take as much white/red wine as we wanted, and there was also a really hot alcohol free drink :) We got lots of good tips for cooking in general and our chef was super nice and fun!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re glad you enjoyed the market visit, the cooking, and the atmosphere. It’s great to hear the dishes and wine selection stood out, and that you found the tips helpful. We’ll be sure to pass your feedback along to the chef. Hope to see you again soon.
Chef Juan was wonderful, very friendly, he made us feel like we were old friends. Most importantly he taught us a lot about cooking in general as well as the multiple dishes we prepared and cooked under his watchful care! The most fun cooking class I’ve ever attended. You won’t be sorry if you sign up for the wonderful class The trip through the Rambles market was so informative and exciting. Not to be missed!!!

This was a very enjoyable cooking class and we kearned some excellent recipes that I plan on making in the future.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the class and that the recipes made a lasting impression. We can’t wait to hear how they turn out when you recreate them in your own kitchen. Happy cooking!
Juan was great! I have made paella in the past but I wanted to cook it the way the Spaniards do and I wasn’t disappointed. We got to make Crema Catala which I wanted to learn. As well as the secret behind the Spanish omelette! The simple tomato toast with garlic, amazing.
Thank you so much for joining us! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed learning the ‘true’ Spanish way of making paella with Juan. And yes — Crema Catalana and the Spanish omelette secrets are always highlights! We’re glad the pan con tomate impressed you too. Hope you’re already recreating everything at home. You’re welcome back to our kitchen anytime.
I cannot recommend this experience enough!!! We started with an interesting and informative tour of La Boqueria, then walked to the cooking school (short walk and alive with Barcelona culture). Our chef was so great at helping us be comfortable with each other and he remembered everyone's name immediately. We each got to make a significant part of our meal - I made the Crema Catalona and it was easy with his explanations and help. We enjoyed our fabulous meal together overlooking Las Ramblas. Our chef was welcoming, interesting, entertaining and kind. Loved, loved, loved this experience!!!!!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear how much you loved the market tour and cooking class experience. It’s wonderful that you felt welcomed, learned new skills, and enjoyed your Crema Catalana overlooking Las Ramblas! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with your chef — he’ll be so happy to know he made the experience special. We hope to see you again next time you’re in Barcelona!
