What To Expect
Have a Cooking Show led by an amazing Chef!
We start with a detailed visit to the local market where the origins, history and traditions of tropical fruits, exotic flowers, unusual fish and seasonal vegetables will be explained.
After a 5 minute walk, we shall take a lift to the rooftop of an hotel, where you will be surprised by an outstanding view over the city of Funchal, and where a young, dynamic and relaxed team awaits to teach you along a no hands on approach. It's rather a cooking show instead.
From simple local fish ceviche to emblematic espada fish with banana guacamole to “espetada”, beef on the skewer, the world of fusion cooking is demystified and made easy and fun with our amazing Chef exhibition and explanation.
Learn the basics and beyond, so you can pick a few tricks for your home kitchen.
Each cooking experience ends with a delicious lunch and carefully chosen Portuguese wines.
You will gather around our table, on the rooftop, with an outstanding view, to enjoy your wonderful meal and exchange conversation with others that share your love for all things culinary.
A minimum of 4 people is required. If not met, we will contact you for rescheduling or refunding.
