★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 89 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $99Best value

Private Lisbon cooking with Paula: ferry to Cacilhas market, shop for Portuguese-Goan dishes, then cook and eat in Almada.

“On reflection we were disappointed with the experience. Paula was a lovely host but the market, the cooking afterwards, the lack of focus and environment does not justify the price. It was all a bit chaotic as Paula was catering for others whilst we were there which sometimes took focus away. It all seemed rushed.”
