The 17 best cooking classes in Sydney

We received a voucher for this cooking school (awesome gift idea) and just did the Roma cooking class with Jodie and it was so good! We had a small group which meant a more intimate setting and felt we got one on one treatment. We learned a lot and the food we made and ate was absolutely delicious! And most importantly we’re excited to recreate the menu at home in the near future. Highly recommend!

Had a fantastic lesson on how to make my own pasta. The owner/teacher was really good at explaining the process and paying attention to everyone on the class. When we finished with our creation, they cooked and serve it to us with a glass of wine. It makes me want to attend the sauce making class now. Really recommended class and activity for the weekend. I attended it solo and it was fine and not awkward at all.

Amazing food. Ordered 2 entrees and 2 pizzas. Food came out within a reasonable time. Absolutely delicious. My children loved it and rated the pizza as the best they've had. The seafood entree was perfectly cooked.

Very good restaurant, every time I come the food is exquisite, the shrimp spaghetti is amazing.

The whole experience was amazing! Took my friend out for lunch for her birthday. Marcello was a very nice and attentive host. The food was amazing!!! So fresh and soooo flavorful! We chose the set menu and added an extra starter and dessert. The burrata was something we couldn't pass on. The pasta was so fresh. We specially loved the squid ink pasta with crab. The surprise was how much we enjoyed the salads. They had their own identity and not just as a side dish. Even though we were full, there is always room for dessert. We had the tiramisu and the banofee pie. I am not usually a fan of banofee but this was so tasty. The banana ice cream was light and on point. We were so full but it was so worth it. Just before we left, Marcello got a special dessert out for my friend with a candle and we sang happy birthday to her. I will definitely come back again! Thx for a great experience.

Great food! Hope they are as real as they seem to be! Great community work as well! Visited the picklery as well! Great spot! Hope to hear back from them about a workshop I was interested in..

Sydney Fish Market is a must-visit if you love seafood! The variety is amazing! everything from fresh prawns and oysters to sushi, lobster, and sashimi. We tried a little bit of everything and it was all so fresh and delicious. It does get really busy, especially around lunchtime, but that’s part of the fun and atmosphere. Prices are reasonable for the quality you’re getting, and there’s plenty of seating by the water where you can enjoy your food. Just watch out for the seagulls if you’re eating outside! Definitely worth the stop when you’re in Sydney.

Nilgiri’s in Cremorne is an absolute gem! This husband-and-wife-run restaurant delivers an exceptional dining experience that feels like being welcomed into a warm, loving home. The food is simply outstanding – beautifully cooked , both the meat and fish dishes were so tender and soft , the large prawns are to die for and packed with authentic flavors that make every bite memorable. The portions are so generous and wholesome, served with a delightful family-style charm, that we left completely satisfied (and, unfortunately, without room for dessert!). First world problems:) The ambiance adds to the magic, with a cute and cozy setting that makes you want to linger a little longer. It’s the perfect spot for a comforting, flavorful meal. If you’re after delicious Indian cuisine with a personal touch, Nilgiri’s is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

I recently had the pleasure of celebrating a 13th birthday at Luna Lu in Sydney, and it was a memorable experience! From the moment we arrived, the vibe was warm and inviting, with great views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House despite the huge cruise ship near the opera house blocking a bit of the view, but it added to the experience. The food was a highlight of the day — delicious, beautifully presented, and as tasty. We ordered a range of share plates, including the vibrant purple dumplings, pork belly bao buns, candied seafood fried rice, and the sweet yuzu chicken. Lovely Asian fusion flavours & colours . To top it all off, we had the opera house themed cake for dessert, which was as delightful to look at as it was to eat. The birthday girl was absolutely thrilled with the food and the overall experience, which really made the day stand out. It was a hot day, and while most of the shaded tables were booked (we had reserved ours a week in advance), our waiter went above and beyond. Our waiter (sorry don’t remember his name but he was a very tall man with an European accent, thank you for your service) who was very friendly and accommodating, quickly arranged a large umbrella for us pushing it all the way to our table and some how made it fit ensuring we had the perfect shade while we enjoyed our meal. He ensured that we were in the shade as he checked on the umbrella moving it from time to time. His service at Luna Lu was top-notch, making the experience even more enjoyable. The combination of great food, attentive service, and awesome harbour views made it a perfect celebration. Highly recommend Luna Lu for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food in a beautiful location with a welcoming atmosphere.

What a find!! We stopped in for a pie each on a cold day and absolutely loved our pies. We shared a pork & fennel sausage roll. Omg!! It was delicious! It was great there are tables outside to sit and eat. Perfect place to stop and recharge. We also buy our sourdough from the North Sydney store. Always great quality. You can’t go wrong the Bourke Street Bakery.

Bumped into this casual Italian dining place at Barangaroo, food tastes much better than we thought! The pear pizza is so good, perfect starter or dessert option! Also, I liked the pumpkin & prawn risotto. Will be back for another a friends gathering.

The food was amazing for the price, the flavours were unique and balanced. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the interiors. The wine was nice and light and complimented the food very well. The service was quite selective and had to get their attention every time we needed to order, drinks, food and desert/ didn’t have water bottles on table and never came back to refill our water glasses- if this was better, it would have improved the experience overall. The service was professional and quick however. The atmosphere was great, wasn’t too loud and the table lighting helped increase the overall mood. Would love to come back here for another dinner!

We attended the Sydney gin workshop earlier today. Our host was Olga. 🍸 Olga did an excellent job and was a fantastic representative of the Four Pillars brand. The workshop was great fun and extremely informative! Set in a very comfortable and cozy environment, the whole experience was brilliant! I would highly recommend this workshop!

Brilliant place for anyone looking for a cosy time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s a really compact restaurant that really encourages meaningful conversations and an intimate dining affair. Great start for those looking to transition into vegetarianism and appreciate simple but delicious food.

A lot of fun, and very informative. Even though I was the only individual there (everyone else was with friends or partners), I had a good time. The Omnom crew are very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. And, of course, you leave with plenty of 🧀

Great fun time, excellent host, made sure it was fun and interactive. Mae, our host was really knowledgeable and made sure we were having fun and kept us on track and entertained. A good fun group activity, yummy result.

I have been to the cooking classes at least 4 times now, and I love them! Its such a laid back atmosphere, and you get to cook with awesome people while knowing your efforts are going to a great cause. There isn't another cooking class that does anything like this. The fact that you will feed someone who is homeless or doing it tough within the next 24 hours is truly amazing. I always want to help people and this is a great platform to be able to do just that. Whats more, Danni and Joe who run the classes are just amazing, so supportive and create a really friendly and welcome vibe. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a cooking class that has more meaning to it than your average one, its really good value for money, and helps the community :)
