We held a corporate team-building activity at The Real Food Academy last week. The place is incredible and Chef Maria was amazing. The food was easy to make and delicious. The group had a great time. We would absolutely recommend this place to everyone!

I bought tickets to a pasta making class for my partner as a Christmas present. We both had such a great time during this class. The food was also amazing! We will definitely be back and have encouraged our family members to come with us.

We had my daughters 10th birthday over the weekend and everyone had a wonderful time. The girls were fully engaged and gave rave reviews of how fun it was. We had 34 girls and there’s still space for more if you need and also can be a small group. The location can accommodate your party. The place is beautiful with the high ceilings and the open kitchen.

Mariana Maximov

Absolutely amazing place to celebrate a birthday party.💕I did my daughter 12 years old birthday party at The real food academy and it was absolutely wonderful. Maria the owner was great, flexible, helpful and made everything possible to enjoy the party.The girls had a blast making sushi and strawberry shortcake, very well organized, clean, convenient and specious place.About the chef Isa, she was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable in what she does and she make sure that each girl is enjoying cooking.Highly recommended place for a fun cooking party!

Kim Bivins

I’ve done a lot of team building cooking events over the years.The Real Food Academy created amazing cooking experiences for my corporate group! Online reservations, menu selection and adjustments for dietary needs were easy. Chef Maria and her team are very responsive and clearly love what they do! I highly recommend the Real Food Academy for a fun family activity, a corporate group or a great time with friends!

Kid’s Birthday Party- Amazing staff! They are always asking, if you need anything? Is everything okay? Can we help you with anything? Amazing party, amazing food, amazing people, the kids had fun, even the parents had fun and the party was not for them because it is for the kids. I booked my party due to the recommendations. I’ve never been to this place before, I booked my party based on the online recommendations. I showed up for my child’s party and the recommendations were right on the money. I was not disappointed! I will come back and the parents told me they will come back and book a party here as well! Great job!!

Brigida Wharton

The adult cooking class was super fun. A group of 10 from my family (most of whom are avid cooks and all of whom are avid eaters) really enjoyed the evening making fresh pasta and a delicious salmon appetizer. The ingredients and gear were high quality and the event well-organized. I hope to go again sometime!

Brigida Pittier

I have been to Real Food Academy twice in the last month, which is a testimony of how much I have enjoyed these classes. This last time I was joined by several of my family members and it resulted as a great way to spend time together. Not only did we learned a lot under the direction of wonderful chef Maria, but we also got to enjoy delicious food we made ourselves. I highly recommend The Real Food Academy!

---------------------------------------------6th Birthday partyThe best indoor venue for a kids birthday party in Miami! The kids are completely engaged with the friendliest staff and instructors. Parents were able to relax and I barely had to plan because I ordered their delicious platters for adults and kids ate what they cooked. Thank you again for hosting the kids and adults, everyone had a great time!

Debby Sher

The venue has the ambiance of a fine dining restaurant, and Chef Maria makes it fun and easy to prepare delicious meals with great detail & care.
The Indian class was a truly special experience. I kearned how to use exotic Indian spices, & I felt empowered making samosas!
Highly recommend!

Saby

Probably one of the best birthday celebrations I've ever had! It was a great interactive activity to do with my close friends and we all enjoyed ourselves. The food was amazing, we learned a lot and the staff was very attentive/accommodating. Til this day, we still all have a smile on our faces talking about that evening. We just might do it again for my next birthday ☺️

Skylar Click

Love this class! I have been a couple times so far. Maria is super nice and energetic and of course it helps that the food is tasty. Always a great group of people here as guests and the service is accommodating

I would highly recommend the adult cooking class. I took my sister as a birthday gift. We had a fantastic time. The class is a mix of practical and hands-on learning. Maria, the head chef, does an amazing job leading the class and making it fun for both beginners and more advanced chefs. Plus the food was incredibly delicious.

Joanne Fleischman

I just went today for the first time to a class and I totally loved it!!!! I made it to a girls night, apart from having a blast we learned hot to make from the pita bread from scratch to how to cut the seabass! The teacher was excellent, answering all our questions and explaining well how to make each dish, giving us her secrets and it was very helpful!!!! I totally loved it and looking forward to come back to the next class! Very friendly staff and delicious food

Chris Mastrangelo

Amazing 7th BirthdayThe party was excellent from beginning to end. Everyone had an amazing time. The level of organization was regimented, yet not restrictive. The kids were active participants throughout. The age range of boys and girls was 4-13. Price was well worth it, and we had added a second entree and an additional hour. We even had platters of food for the adults. Not one element of the party was not first rate.

My daughter had such a great experience at the Real Food Academy’s Saturday kids session. The moment we stepped in Maria welcomed us with the biggest smile. I watched the entire session from upstairs and I loved it from the beginning till the end. My daughter is looking forward to attending their week long summer camp next week. :)

Lori M.

Awesome Pasta making class! Lots of fun and yummy food. The atmosphere is great and we learned alot.

Darleen Hutchins

We were blown away with our experience at the Real Food Academy. We hosted 25 kids from Fort Lauderdale and every parent was in awe. The kids were nonstop involved and excited for over two hours. The time flew by. Arthur and his team are incredible. Everyone commented how creative, interactive and educational our party was. We love teaching our son the lesson of experiences and sharing food among friends and family, Lessons they will have forever! The prices are are extremely reasonable and the team went above and beyond to make us feel special. The kids all want to keep cooking at home today! i will be booking another event (probably for adults) in the near future! I absolutely recommend to book your next event with them. Thank You!!!

Vicky Nelson

Awesome Sushi ClassThis was an amazing experience! Very hands on, and Maria our chef was extremely knowledgeable. She taught the class tips and tricks on how to prepare our Sushi the right way, and these gems can also be helpful for any dish. I definitely want to come back!

OLGA LEVY

Always an amazing experience cooking with Chef Maria and Chef Arthur! Adult Peruvian cuisine class was a total hit, just as the kids class I took my daughter to in April. Highly recommend for all family members!

Monika Guerrero

Fantastic experience !My son had a great time at the summer camp. He came home everyday excited to recap all the yummy and fun food he made. He also started to learn basic knife skills. Now he volunteers to cut some simple foods and wants to help me make his breakfast. As a parent, I loved that he was introduced to learning more about food and the importance of healthy eating. Overall a fantastic experience.

I took my girls to the Saturday, April 16th cooking class and both of them absolutely loved it! It was completely hands on, from chopping their own vegetables, to rolling their own dough. It was a huge step up from other classes they have attended. I highly recommend trying one of their classes. My girls can’t wait to go back!

Our staff looks forward to the yearly team building event with Chef Maria. This year, was extra special due to the restrictions of the pandemic the previous year. We had the Latin menu and a whole lot of fun. The Real Food Academy never disappoints. They were professional, helpful, fun, friendly, and flexible. Thank you for making our first get together since the pandemic a blast.

Lisa Lee

Love their Cauliflower Crust Pizza. You just can’t go wrong. Real Food Academy/ Cafe is my go to place for this. I gave them 4 stars. I ordered the Açaí bowl which was OK but I’ve had better and a Vegan chocolate chip cookie but they gave me their popular Almond cookie instead but I totally hate the taste of almond extract flavoring. Lesson learned is to check the bag next time. The pizza with vegan cheese they got that right thank goodness. Delicious crispy cauliflower crust. Melted creamy Vegan cheese and tasty sauce. Looks nice inside of cafe with plenty of room to sit and have one of their many juice, smoothies, or coffees.

He was amazing in running the party - there was not a moment where kids were wondering what to do!

My daughter had an amazing time at cooking camp last week! She was a little apprehensive about the food she would make (and then have to eat, LOL) but everything was nutritious and delicious! She cooked dinner TWICE last week and even made a snack for the family today. She has a new found love for cooking and I’m thrilled to have her expert help in the kitchen ;)

My daughter was recently enrolled for 2 weeks in the Real Food Academy's summer camp and she truly loved it.Drop off and pick up were very convenient and the daily recipes were easy and enjoyable. She learned a great deal about how to handle kitchen utensils as well as how to make foods such as pasta, Asian dishes and some great vegan desserts.She is eager to try making some of these recipes at home and I'm excited for her to showcase what she learned in camp.

They made all of our guests feel safe (covid measures were adhered to and followed) and comfortable as well as pampered and treated as 5 star guests! The girls had a blast making their pasta and garlic bread and truly worked off their pasta calories with a great Zumba workout and dance party! The Real Food Academy was the BEST way to celebrate our precious girl.

This was a wonderful gift from my daughter for my birthday. We spent the evening preparing healthy Thanksgiving side dishes and I was amazed that healthy also meant super tasty and fun! We made gluten free corn bread muffins, quinoa stuffing, cranberry sauce, roasted Brussels with lemon aioli and creamy cauliflower mash - all really delicious. Our chef was amazing - friendly, informative and made everyone feel welcome. Everything was spotlessly clean and beautifully done. We will be back again - thank you!

What a great find! This is a hidden gem we stumbled on after moving to the Shores. We have tried so many healthy food places but it’s so hard to find one that is consistently good. This is the one! Everything I have tried has been on point. I love the Miami Spice Bowl, Impossible Burger, Taco Salad, Inka Bowl.... cannot wait to try the rest of their menu. Staff is super friendly & service is great too!!! Get out and help support this local business. They deserve it! 🙌

I will come back again ad bring my friends.Thank you for a great class!Maritza

Don’t eat here because it’s food that’s good for you! Eat here because it’s food that tastes GREAT!I’m usually the first one to pass on restaurants that offer healthy, good for you food and I’m the last one to pick anything that’s vegetarian or vegan on any menu. Not here! Everything that I’ve tried is amazingly tasty. It’s also great value for your money.I’m so impressed with this place that I want to come take some of their cooking classes and maybe even host a cooking party here for some of my friends.Please do you tastebuds and yourself a big favor and come try this place out. I promise you will come back again and again!

Pea Lawson

This cafe is a real gem, the food is incredible and because of The Real Food Academy philosophy of changing out the ingredients for healthier options, you can indulge in your favorite dishes without feeling any guilt afterwards! Win winnnnnn!Everything is carefully prepared and presented beautifully and you get a really good sense that the chefs take extraordinary pride in every aspect of getting your food to the table.It's a superb place for vegetarians/vegans/plant based people to eat because the meals are mostly 'meat optional', which I especially love. But - that said, there is definitely something for everyone - the beef is grass-fed and sourced responsibly and the empanadas are to die for. And the portions are generous.I recommend it very highly to all my friends, and all you here reading this review - i'm certain you will want to come back!Congratulations Chef Maria for bringing your cafe vision to life so perfectly!

Enneiviv Ognara

Chef Maria has got all the flavor. Stop in an order an empanada and a poke bowl. The avocado toast was so incredible and we just could not get enough of her bright and youthful energy. What a lighthouse this place was for my friends and I. We were in town for Basel and really craving some real plant based food and this spot was a homerun. Amazing prices, amazing vibe, amazing architecture. So much love and the best quality for your dollars.

gee (Lillias39)

We had our company holiday party at Real Food Academy, everything was top notched. Chef Maria and her team did an exceptional job of keeping all of us engaged. Our group said that this was the best holiday party that they have experienced. They were all so surprised because it was indeed different from our usual dinners and boat rides. Thank you so much for showing us that we can be temporary "chefs", have fun and enjoy our food.

Meligala22

I booked today’s class for the first time for my 11 year old daughter, at first she was reluctant to go but by the end of the class she did not want to leave. She had an amazing time! They made stuffed pasta shells, Caesar salad and ginger bread cookies. The owners are amazing super attentive, hospitable and genuine. It is not easy to find a place where you can come together with people you don’t even know and connect so naturally. Chef Maria and Arthur share a passion for the kitchen and bringing people together. While the kids are cooking, parents are able to watch from the loft and can take pictures. You can also enjoy their cafe (which by the way serves AMAZING FOOD) and meet people who are there for the same reason. It’s an organized environment which makes it possible for the kids to engage and be receptive to the cooking instructions. We will definitely be back!!!!! Thank you Maria and Arthur!

The most incredible food spot that you can taste and feel the love everywhere. Top notch service, and excellent ingredients for all to-die-for food. Me & my girls had the best time ever during our Basel trip.

Monica Porto

We had our girl’s party here and all I can say it was AMAZING!!! I totally recommend it 😊.

Kari Frey

Best afternoon spent with Karina showing us how whole nutritious food can taste fabulous! No cooking skills needed. Lots of great tips and information on where to find ingredients locally. Would definitely recommend!

Ygarcia

What a super AWESOME place! We just had our daughters 6th bday party and everything from the food, to the decor and the entertainment was AWESOME!!! We had 25 kids and first they made their own pizza and cupcakes (vegan/gluten-free alternatives as well) with their chef’s hats and aprons. Then we cut the cake and lastly we had a Zumba party. For the adults we had appetizers, mimosas and wine. The music was AWESOME and the owners are super caring! It sounds expensive but it really was not, three hours of fundand the adults/ kids had a great time! Will definitely have another party there! 👍🎉

Mytzy S.

Omg love this new place. I ordered the Buddha bowl with chicken. Amazing!!! And was under $15.00.

Amy Trigoura

Excellent professionalism and attention to detail. Highly recommend. Fun atmosphere during the class and my students (7th graders) learned a lot.

Marisel Colon

Have taken quite a few classes there. Chef Maria is great. She lives up to her motto “we don’t change the recipe just the ingredients”. Healthy alternatives. Loki g forward to my next class.

Rafael Saul

Chef Maria’s recipes are exceptional. My friend and I attended a dinner cooking class and she made each person attending feel welcome. After tasting the sesame encrusted salmon, I kept thinking about it until I finally made it myself at home. It turned out GREAT! Delicious. Next up to replicate, her raw vegan chocolate cheesecake. My friend is still raving about it.Invited to her 10th anniversaryand delighted with her success!! She’s living the American dream by being excellent at what she does!

Everyone at The Real Food Academy always greets you with a open heart and friendly smiles. If you would like to create memories or just have a good time attend an event. My son loved the kids cooking class, who would of thought that he would love his Zucchini Spaghetti that he created.

Claudia Strenger

I absolutely love this place! I have taken a couple classes with my husband and some friends and it’s a fun and different way to have a great night out. Chef Maria is super nice and a great instructor.

Mina Poler

Yesterday we celebrated my husbands birthday with a cooking class party at Maria's chef place. I cant think of a better way... We started early in the afternoon. Every one had a blast, my friends haven't stop thanking me for such a quality and different celebration.I take my hat of Maria and her team. Everything worked as a Suisse clock. Whatever needed to be ready, was ready. There was not lack of utensils or good food and good atmosphere. We brought our wine and beer, she provided the rest. My friend are already commenting on making the food themselves and inviting us, life is good :)

Allison Vega

What can I say about The Real Food Academy? I love it! I've attended two cooking classes so far. Peruvian fusion and all about pasta making! I recommend this place if you want to learn how to cook different recipes from different countries, they don't change the dish they change the ingredients (healthier options) Maria is a great teacher and I look forward to taking many more classes.

Nicole Sammartano Escobar

We loved this class. Amazing food with wonderful cooking tips. My husband and I can’t wait to do it again

Carol B. Moss

My granddaughter and I had such a delightful evening. The building is amazing and the easy directions to prepare the delicious courses were so much fun. Thank you Veronica for being so great. The food was wonderful and yummy!!

Cenay Nailor

Amazing fun, chef's that care and make eating healthy easy as they change the ingredients, not the dish. If you (or your kids) are looking for something fun to do in the Miami area, then you gotta check out The Real Food Academy!

MADI Hernandez

We hosted a adult birthday party with chef maria . great private event and it was also byob . we brought tons of wine and had a great time .

Patricia Fuller

What a wonderful place! We had an amazing, educational and fun time cooking with my girlfriend. Chef Dulce is a true delight and inspiration. Chef Maria is so welcoming and professional! We are planning next time to go with our kids. Highly recommend!

Charlie McShane

The people, food and class for our team building event was great. Locale not so great with street people coming in during our event.

Myriam Lagomasino

A fun place for a group or family. Chef Maria did a great cooking demonstration for our group and we learned to prepare Peruvian food! Then we got to eat delicious, healthy and beautiful food! Can’t wait to book more cooking classes with my family😊

Nathan Miller

Super fun experience learning to cook with experts. This is a great way to spend an afternoon with friends. The best ceviche and paella I've had! Chef Maria is an excellent teacher and entertainer!

Sandra Rodriguez

Love learning how to cook healthy food and it’s fun!

Yecimar Tirado

The kids enjoyed the experience.

Edgard Arias

Allow me to express my personal experience. I had the pleasure to take one of their cooking classes together with my spouse. It was a surprise for her birthday. Before I made the reservation I called and I spoke to Maria, she explained and answered all my questions in a very detailed way which left me very pleased and I decided to go and make my reservation.

When we arrived at their location to my surprise they had balloons around her cooking station and we were even greeted by our names.

The ambiance and the way Maria treats you and teaches you is beyond my words. She is so passionate about what she does that just looking at her cooking is something to admire. I’m not trying to be cheese or anything like that.

We took the vegetarian because we were looking for more healthy eating options and let me tell you, I’m the guy who used to eat meat in the morning, lunch and dinner and after I took this class I was introduced to a new world of eating.
Everything we made was plan based and I couldn’t tell a difference from a regular plate to what we made.

The food was delicious!!!!!

We felt so energized after we ate that we kept talking after the class was over for about an hour. Maria gave us so much great info and steps to take to better our eating that after we left that day, we started a new way of eating and we haven’t gone back.

So, to end my history.

Maria and her husband who I had the pleasure to speak with in many occasions are very passionate about what they do and they are making a difference, they are very caring and they take customer satisfaction very seriously.

If you are planning on taking a class, don’t hesitate about it. Do it! You won’t regret it.

PAOLA SARALEGUI

Wonderful place for kids and adults! Everyone enjoys cooking!

Sophia Miller

I had a great time and it was a wonderful experience. the place was very organized and fun. The food tasted very good. I would definitely come again

Nora Carmenates

Chef María and all of their sweet assistant chefs are a delight to work with! They made all the kids at my son's birthday feel like one in a million..and the adults even learned how to make pasta from scratch! Fun, entertaining and healthy. It doesn't get any better than Chef María and her Real Food Academy.

Natasha Carr

Chef Maria & Chef Teresita & their staff are very warm & engaging and the kids LOVE how learning about making healthy food choices and cooking. My 2 daughters attended Winter Break Camp and everyday they were excited by the food they made and meeting new friends too in the Camp. Now, my girls know how to make homemade Waffle, Pancakes, Cupcakes from starch. They even made Empanadas and Sushi at Winter Break Camp too. What a very unique experience and one that my girls will remember for a lifetime!

Joanne Giordano

I so enjoyed Pasta making class with Chef Maria, she offers healthy alternative cooking, in simple steps- I can’t wait to try my new skills at home.

Wendy Weinstein Hotchkiss

Amazing place for a child's birthday party! I highly recommend it, and would do it again :0)

Hedy Rojas

I had an amazing experience. Salud is the best .I’ll keep going for sure

Tara Elizabeth Faenza

What a fun place! Chef Maria was great and made the experience better. It was Asian food, and being Taiwanese, it was interesting for me. She knew it's wasn't "authentic," and didn't attempt that. It was fusion. Instead, she taught great techniques and flavors that brought a fresh, healthy, and fun twist on classics. As an avid cook, I loved learning from her and seeing some new ways to make favorites. I thought it was a fun way to spend a friend's birthday and enjoy company. With Chef Maria, you learn it's not just the destination, but the path as well! Those who don't like to cook get a taste of being part of a team and making something together. Lovely and a wonderful way to teach children as well. :)

Mona Lissa Emeran

My daughter started cooking camp this past Monday and she loves it. I would love for her to continue taking classes throughout the school year if available.

Natalia Munoz

Attended a wonderful cooking class tonight. Real food can be amazing! Chef Maria makes it fun and easy to learn as well. Can't wait to do this again!

Dasha Smith

Just loved our experience here! It was just all perfect: the atmosphere, the meals preparation, the food and Maria herself! We would love to be back!

Silvia Gonzalez Caceres

My husband and I went on a date night to "The Real Food Academy", it was SUCH AN AMAZING experience, Chef Maria is a great chef and teacher, the food was great and we met great people. I will most DEFINITELY tell my family and friends about Chef Maria.

Carla Alessandra Ferreyros

My husband and I went here and it is absolutely amazing! Chef Maria is so awesome and we loved and enjoyed the food! Best of all, you can bring your own Booze! Highly recommended

Mareilys Soria

I had my daughters 6th Birthday party yesterday . I have never seen my daughter so happy as I did yesterday. Chef Arthur and his staff were amazing. They were professional, service was outstanding,,kids just loved him. He was patient and made the kids feel comfortable making the food, from prepping to the final product. Our guest were delighted and had nothing bad to say about the experience. I am so grateful that we choose this venue to celebrate our daughter birthday. I will recommend to anyone that would ask me. Thank you @the real food Academy.

Damaris Howard

My daughter absolutely loved the class. Definitely going to purchase the culinary package for her to attend additional courses.

Donovan Barker

What an unforgettable experience. Thank you Chef Maria

Eddy Paula Garver

We took our daughters to the Ginger bread house decorating class. Both of our girls had a great time. Chef Arthur and Chef Maria were great with the kids and the parents. We've also taken our daughter here for birthday parties and she absolutely loves it. Lots of fun and a great staff.

Bernhard Westermayer

Our daughter's 10th Birthday Party at Real Food Academy was a huge success. She loved it and had an amazing time with her friends, they learned about cooking and they got to eat their own food. Chef Arthur was amazing with the kids, the program and the time frame was perfect. From 4 year old to 12 year old kids - they all had fun. And for the parents it was fun to watch too.
We hope to try out a team building event / cooking party for adults next.
Thank you Chef Arthur and the entire team for turning our daughter's Birthday party into great memories for a lifetime!
I can highly recommend The Real Food Academy!

Jennie Reffitt King

We were invited here for a bday party. The staff was super nice and patient with the kids! Great concept!

Arlen Sirotzky

With every class we get more hooked, love the healthy alternatives and my son is eating more!! And of course healthier ❤️

Andrea Caprio

For the second time, I took cooking classes with the real food academy and both times I absolutely loved it. The first class was to learn the tricks of Chinese cooking which was amazing and yesterday we had a Raw food cooking class and I loved it. It was outstanding. I am an experienced cook but chef Maria was able to impress me with amazing skills, wonderful food and her passion about healthy food. Even though I cook and am a Nutrition coach, I learnt a lot about preparing healthy food, it was a great atmosphere, the place is super clean and cozy, I learnt a lot of skills. It is a great class no matter if a beginner or advanced. They also have great kids cooking classes. I highly recommend their cooking courses

Jodi Muroff Goulding

I think this is an awesome way to learn to make healthier options. Chef Maria just has something about her that makes you want to jump in and learn .. the kids getting involved is huge. its something for them to do and also learn good health habits at the same time... I think this is fabulous kudos to Maria and Arthur and staff at the Real food Academy

I was hesitant to send my 13 y/o daughter anywhere due to COVID but temperature checks were taken seriously, social distancing took place, plenty of space & limited # of campers and masks at all times gave me comfort. My daughter had such a wonderful time she is signing up for another week. In the mean time we bought the ingredients to all the healthy, yummy items she made!
