Carioca Kitchens Rio de Janeiro Food Tour with 12+ Tastings

About this activity

Rio de Janeiro has spent decades convincing the world it's all beaches, and caipirinhas. But after sunset, another side of the city comes alive. Join us for an evening of feasting through Ipanema and Copacabana, two of Rio's most iconic neighbourhoods. Along the way, you'll uncover the immigrant communities, neighbourhood bars, and local institutions that have quietly shaped the city.

Sample crisp Bahian acarajé fritters, creamy crab gratin, buttery cassava, Lebanese kibe and esfiha, warm cheese breads, and one of Rio's most legendary sandwiches: slow-roasted pork paired with sweet pineapple. Wash it all down with an ice-cold chopp beer before finishing with silky Brazilian caramel custard. Between bites, you'll stroll the streets that inspired The Girl From Ipanema, ride the Metro between neighbourhoods like a local, and experience a lively botequin.

This isn't a tour of postcard Rio. It's a journey through the stories, flavours, and communities that most visitors never discover.
