Excellent experience don't miss this exceptional opportunity

Excellent and very enjoyable class with Patricio, who is so knowledgeable, welcoming and explains and teaches in a very approachable, delightful way. His love and passion for food were really appreciated, and it left me feeling inspired when I left. Was the best cooking class I've experienced in Europe! I was so impressed that I also signed up for his local seafood cooking class. Also booked a walking tour lunch Pintxo with a guide, which was also very enjoyable as he was warm, and everything w...read more

Thank you so much, Theresa, for this wonderful review. We’re truly honored to hear that this was the best cooking class you’ve experienced in Europe. Patricio is deeply passionate about sharing the techniques, ingredients and culinary traditions that make Basque gastronomy so unique, and he will be delighted to know that his approach left you feeling inspired. We're especially happy that you decided to join both the seafood cooking class and one of our pintxos experiences as well. There is no greater compliment than a guest choosing to explore more of what we do. Thank you for spending part of your time in San Sebastián with us. We hope the recipes, techniques and memories travel home with you to Canada, and we would love to welcome you back to Donostia in the future. The Mimo Team

Must do experiences in San Sebastián

I had the most wonderful time whilst in San Sebastián and it was made all the better because of the 3 activities I took part in through Mimo! My first experience was the pintxos and wine tour on my first night. Kai was a terrific guide and gave me a great introduction to the best bars including how and what to order. I would thoroughly recommend this tour if you want to get acquainted and confident with the San Sebastián pintxos scene. I then took part in 2 cooking classes which were both fan...read more

Thank you so much for this incredibly generous review. We’re truly honoured that your experiences with Mimo became such an important part of your time in San Sebastián. It’s wonderful to hear that beginning your trip with a pintxos tour helped you feel connected to the local food culture of Donostia from the very first evening, and that Kai helped make the experience both approachable and memorable. We’re equally happy that the cooking classes left such a strong impression. Patricio is deeply passionate about teaching Basque cuisine in a way that feels relaxed, engaging and accessible, whether exploring traditional fish cookery or the more technical side of Michelin-inspired gastronomy. Hearing that you left with new confidence, techniques and inspiration to continue cooking at home means the world to us. And as you beautifully described, some of the best moments often happen around the communal table at the end of the class, sharing food, wine and conversation together. We cannot wait to welcome you back for more culinary adventures in the Basque Country. The Mimo Team

The Absolute Best Experience!

This was an experience of a lifetime. It was a class of just 10 people, so very intimate and hands on. The Mimo chefs were very professional but also a lot of fun. 5 hours flew by so quickly, but the memories will last forever. When I’m back in San Sebastián, I’ll be attending again.

A must do in San Sebastián. Better than a 3 star Michelin restaurant experience.

MIMO is the best gourmet cooking class I have ever taken. This was my sixth visit to the school. The experience is overall wonderful. The chefs are excellent and extreme nice . I have taken most of their classes and cannot tell you which one was my favorite because they were all great.
