Lagos Market Tour & Seafood Cataplana Cooking Class

Close your eyes and imagine the Algarve: the scent of the sea, the vibrant colours of the fish market, the aroma of garlic sizzling in olive oil and laughter around a shared table. Our experience takes you beyond a cooking class and into the heart of Algarve culture. Meet the people behind our ingredients, discover the stories of Portuguese cuisine and learn to prepare Seafood Cataplana, one of the region's most treasured dishes. As the Cataplana cooks, its wonderful aromas fill our kitchen. A glass of Algarve wine, freshly prepared food and new friendships await around our shared table. And our secret ingredient? Connection. The connection between food and tradition, between locals and travellers, and between strangers who arrive from different corners of the world and leave with shared memories. At The Kitchen, we believe the most memorable experiences aren't just about what you eat. They're about the people you meet, the stories you share and the way a place makes you feel.
