Unforgettable culinary experience

5.00Amazing culinary experience. The experience from start to finish was very good. From fetching the ingredients at the Ruzafa Market, to preparing step by step the tasty Paella directed by Ramón while savoring some appetizers of cheese, Iberian ham and sangria added to make it a great experience. Ramón was not only guiding us while we were looking for the ingredients, but also very jocularly and made us feel family. I recommend this unforgettable culinary experience.

5.00Ramon was amazing! Our Paella making experience was an outstanding afternoon. The food and drinks were all delicious, from the ham and cheese appys and sangria to our expertly crafted paella and wine. Ramon guided us with laughter and really clear explanations of what to do and why in the creation of the paella. He encouraged questions and conversations It was the 2 of us with a group of 10 who welcomed us and it felt like we were having an afternoon with friends. An experience we will remember fondly, a highlight of our trip to Valencia!

5.00My friend and I took part in this amazing paella workshop and really enjoyed it. Jordi was friendly, quite fluent in English (as well as his native Spanish), and an excellent instructor. He got everyone involved, and made the whole activity fun as well as instructive. We had eight people in our group, which was just the perfect size. By the time we sat down to eat, we had formed friendships and exchanged phone numbers with the other attendees. The kitchen was spacious, clean, climatized and quite close to the Rusafa market. This workshop was a wonderful, authentic experience and I highly recommend it.
Champion of paella

5.00Our paella-making day in Valencia was a truly unforgettable cultural and culinary adventure. The day began with a guided visit to the local mercado, where we handpicked fresh ingredients—nothing frozen, nothing artificial. This was traditional paella Valenciana, so no seafood—just chicken, rabbit (conejo), local green beans (judía verde), and rice. Led by a world champion of paella, we learned every step of the process, from preparing the sofrito to achieving the perfect socarrat—the prized crispy layer at the bottom of the pan. We quickly discovered that timing, fire control, and ingredient placement are critical. As our chef warned us, “Es catastrófico quemar el arroz”—burning the rice is a disaster! Throughout the day, we sipped homemade sangría, shared laughs, and soaked up the atmosphere. The chef’s son even joined us for lunch, creating a truly warm and welcoming experience. When it came time to taste our creation, it was simply the best paella we’ve ever had—rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. A dish worthy of its world championship status. This was more than just a cooking class—it was a deep dive into Valencian tradition. An absolute must for anyone visiting Spain’s paella capital.
Fantastic experience

5.00We had such an amazing time with our family. We learned so much about Spain and paella during the trip to the market. Once back at the restaurant, we felt at home. He made our children (9 years old) feel welcome and included. My husband is vegetarian and could not eat the paella, but the host had his friend across the street cook him a wonderful vegetarian dish. Several times during the event I forgot it was a class and instead just felt like we were at a friend’s home. If you want a warm, welcoming, genuine, and authentic experience, this is it! I highly recommend this experience!!
