Hands on fun - Doing not just watching under the guidance of a positive, creative, chef. The dishes were a great example of why French cooking is so delicious. We all agree, our time with Noel was a big highlight of our trip.

BEST THING WE DID ALL TRIP - This was the funnest thing we did while in Nice! My mom, husband, and myself went to Noel's to cook a dinner. Noel was so nice and hospitable and the food was the best we ate all week on our trip. Could not recommend this enough!

A warm and welcoming experience - I was traveling to Nice with my husband and another couple. We were able to get an Uber from Old Town there and back. It was a warm and educational experience. We each got to take part in preparing a three course meal that included artichokes, chicken, macaroons, a pastry and other French foods. Noel was very welcoming and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him in his home. The views were also spectacular.

Fun and memorable experience with friends - It was such a fun time - Noel was absolutely fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and really made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. We learned a ton and enjoyed our efforts at the end. The hands-on aspect made it feel like we were all chefs for the day, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet informative. Highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a fun and unique outing with friends!

A fun morning - It was a fun morning of cooking on Noel’s patio with a lovely view. The lunch we prepared was amazing! Glad it was a very nice day or it would not have been such a good experience for our party of 10 adults.
