Jose the host was great. The paella was cooked to perfection. He definitely knows how to make the taste of all the ingredients. And the sangria was beautiful put together.... read more The location was perfect because I walked there after visiting Parque Quell. So the paella dinner was perfect at the end of my day. I highly recommend it. Thank you for a very special experience.

It was a great time! Very educational and small group so you actually get to learn how to make the amazing dishes yourself! Our maestro was wonderful

A great cooking class to learn about the history of tapas and paella and to come away with the basics for making your own at home. The meal we made... read more was delicious and being able to participate was great. A super fun and educational experience.

Eladi’s paella making class was an incredible experience and definitely one of the highlights of my trip. He did a great job sharing the history and story of Spanish traditions... read more as well as making sure everyone was involved in the actual making of paella. The paella itself tasted incredible and was better than any I’ve had at restaurants. I can’t wait to make it at home! 100000% recommend!

This was such a highlight of my very brief time in Barcelona! The class moved at such an easy, smooth pace that the two hours flew by and the chef... read more (Ivan?) was so personable and informative along the way. Everyone got to participate in the process and get their photo ops, and the food and sangria were some of the best I've had in Spain overall. My only two small complaints would be they moved the class last minute from 4pm to noon with only an hour and a half notice - which thankfully happened to work out, but would have been really unfortunate for some who may not have had the flexibility. The other thing was the room got veryyyy warm about midway through the class due to the cooking. Everyone was pretty toasty and mentioning it so I would recommend either opening doors/windows or keeping the AC or a fan running while things are being cooked as it distracted from the experience a bit. Otherwise, would still recommend everyone book this, you absolutely won't regret it. :)

Perfect class to learn about making paella, sangria and eating a classic tapas dish!!

I left a review once before, the day we did this but it does not seem to be there anymore. My wife and I did this our last night in... read more Barcelona, Sept 6, 2018. It was the highlight of the trip! Eladi was a great host and teacher, and the food we made was amazing! Whether you are a great cook or not, you will love this event.
