About this activity

This small-group food tour explores two of the city's most fascinating neighbourhoods: Liberdade, home to the largest Japanese community outside Japan, and República, the historic heart of downtown São Paulo. Along the way, we'll uncover the immigrant stories, local institutions, and neighbourhood traditions that transformed São Paulo into one of the world's great food cities.

From Japanese-Brazilian fusion dishes and legendary mortadella sandwiches to Lebanese pastries, fresh pão de queijo, and bustling market snacks, our 12+ tastings reveal the remarkable mix of cultures that define modern São Paulo. We'll ride the Metro like locals, visit family-run institutions that have stood the test of time, and discover places that rarely make it into guidebooks.

With a maximum of just 8 guests, this is a more personal way to experience the city and understand why São Paulo is considered Brazil's culinary capital.
