We asked in advance to try as many different dishes as possible. So we had a wide experience of the local cuisine. This was well paid for. From main courses to dessert. They showed it first and then we could get started. During the whole process we were helped by the woman and her daughter. This was really a very nice experience and we can definitely recommend.
Highly recommend!!! Could not have been better

We attended the cooking class together with our three children (3, 6 and 8 years old) – and it was just mega! 🎉 From the beginning, there was a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. The children were lovingly accompanied, allowed to help, cut, stir and of course taste. It was nice to see how much fun they had cooking – and how proud they were of their homemade dishes in the end. The food was really delicious – a treat for both young and old. We loved how child-friendly everything was and how friendly the whole team was with everyone. We can only recommend the cooking class and would immediately join again. Thank you for this beautiful experience! 🥰🍝🍓
