Excellent and informative experience!! - We had such an amazing and authentic time! Bibi was our instructor and she was so incredible and friendly! We learnt so much and the result was delicious. Really cute location that's easy to get to and the market is very close by. Definitely worth the private experience too as that extra hands on attention and instruction was well worth it!

Fantastic authentic experience - I had the pleasure of attending the Paella Making workshop with Simon and Maria at Gastronomic Arts Barcelona, and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, they were welcoming, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about sharing their culinary expertise. The class was both fun and educational, with Simon and Maria walking us through each step of creating the perfect paella, all while sharing interesting stories about its history and techniques. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were absolutely amazing. Not only did we leave with a newfound appreciation for Spanish cuisine, but we also felt confident enough to recreate the dish at home. If you're ever in Barcelona, I highly recommend this experience—it's a true highlight of the city's food scene! Five stars without a doubt!

Perfect paella! - It was an amazing quick cooking class experience. The class was short but you would still learn a lot. I would recommend this class if you only have a short visit here. The paella that we made was delicious and texture was perfect. Big thank you to Maria and Roberto. Maria is our main chef and she's great.
