🥟 Cian’s Weekend Dumpling Class at Lucky Tortoise

“Doing the dumpling class at Lucky Tortoise was absolutely class.”

We often get little messages or posts after our classes—
some make us laugh, some get us a bit emotional.
This one from Cian? Definitely one of our all-time faves.

Ah, man, I have to tell you—doing the dumpling class at Lucky Tortoise was absolutely class! My girlfriend and I went last weekend, and from the second we walked in, you could tell it was gonna be a cracking night. The place was absolutely packed, full of people buzzing to get stuck in.

We kicked things off with a welcome drink, which was a nice touch. Got to meet a few of the other folks doing the class, and everyone was in great form. Then one of the chefs gave us a demo, showing us the proper technique for rolling and folding the dumplings. Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong! My first few dumplings looked like they’d been in a car crash, but after a few goes, I started getting the hang of it.

My girlfriend, on the other hand—an absolute natural. Like, she was folding dumplings as if she’d been doing it her whole life. The chef even made a joke about hiring her on the spot. And at the end of the class, when they picked the winner for “best dumpling maker,” she only went and won the prize! She was buzzing, I was buzzing—everyone was cheering, and it just added to the whole atmosphere.

Once we were done, we all sat down and got to eat what we’d made, along with a bunch of other dishes from Lucky Tortoise. And let me tell ya—those dumplings tasted even better knowing we made them ourselves. Honestly, the whole experience was just unreal. Such a great mix of learning something new, having a laugh, and getting a proper good feed at the end.

Would I recommend it? 100% yes. If you’re looking for a fun date night, a different kind of night out with friends, or even a team-bonding thing, you have to try it. Lucky Tortoise absolutely nailed it—10/10, would happily do it again.
