Our chefs have a wide selection of recipes, from the vibrant fish dishes of the coast to the hearty stews of the mountains. In our cooking class, they will help you discover the authentic flavours of the Basque Country and provide you with the skills you need to recreate dishes that take you back to those perfect holiday memories.

Thank you very much for your lovely review. We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cooking class and the selection of dishes prepared during the experience.

Unforgettable cooking experience !

During our 4 day stay in San Sebastian, my girlfriend and I took the private cooking class. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Family Cooking Class!

Our family of seven (kids ages 10, 12 & 14, plus grandparents) had the best experience at Mimo!

We cooked talos, croquetas, a delicious meat dish, and Basque cheesecake, and every step felt hands-on and authentic.

Great group activity

Wonderful. Well done. Chefs are fun and relaxed and funny. Food was delicious even though we cooked it. Enjoyed a full meal afterwards. We had 37 people for a wedding and it was a wonderful way to break the ice for the weekend. Highly recommend!

Essential experience for food lovers

We expected to learn a lot and have some good food and we were definitely not disappointed! It really was a fantastic day, thank you Patricio and Rhys for looking after us so well. We learned a lot, had a lot of fun and tasted some incredible food and fantastic wine. This was the highlight of our trip and I would highly recommend it to foodies of any level.
