“Wonderful Pastel de Nata Experience with Berta! I had an amazing time at Berta’s pastel de nata workshop! She is warm, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable about Portuguese pastry traditions. The session was hands-on, interactive, and so much fun — perfect for food lovers and cultural explorers. We made everything from scratch, including the puff pastry, and learned great tips along the way. The setting was beautiful, in a charming historical building with a lovely garden. The pastel de nata we made were delicious (we got to enjoy 3 of them with a glass of port wine!). Thank you, Berta, for such a special and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended to anyone…”
