Excellent
Great private experience with the chef for our basque cooking class. The only rec is whether you can see the menu ahead of time with a substitution available.

Great
Chef Mattin was delightful, friendly, and fun. Loved the Gilda pinxto, albeit just sticking olives and anchovies on a toothpick. The kitchen was not well ventilated and coupled with the warm humid weather felt a bit stuffy. Food was okay, but could have been enhanced with a few more ingredients for flavor. Basic and easy. Would prefer something more interesting.

Excellent
We had a wonderful time at our cooking class with our chef, Carlos.
We were a nice small group of 7. Carlos was engaging and entertaining.
The food we prepared and the wine we drank were wonderful.
And we all had our turn pouring cider into our glass.
My husband and I would recommend the Basque cooking class in San Sebastián and Carlos as your chef.

Great
Our guide (Carlos) was very nice and told us a lot about Basque food culture. The dishes we prepared were delicious, but they were so simple that we didn't really learn anything new.
