What to expect
20m
Kick off your culinary walk along iconic Rua Uruguaiana with two beloved Brazilian daily staples. Share a warm cup of golden, chewy Pão de Queijo (traditional cassava flour cheese bread balls) alongside a cold, iced Mate com Limão—toasted yerba mate tea blended with tangy lemonade, the ultimate refreshing start to exploring downtown Rio.
30m
Step inside a historic 1907 antique boteco in Centro for an authentic spirit and snack tasting. Share a shot of artisanal Cachaça (distilled sugar cane spirit) and a shot of native Amazonian Jambu—a tingling herbal spirit—paired with flaky, savory Empadinhas (mini baked savory pies).
30m
Wander into the Bohemian heart of Lapa for classic bar bites (comida de boteco). Savor a plate of crispy, golden Bolinhos de Bacalhau (salt cod fritters) alongside savory Coxinhas—tear-drop-shaped fried croquettes filled with seasoned chicken and creamy cheese.
20m
Arrive at the foot of world-famous Escadaria Selarón, the vibrant tiled staircase created by artist Jorge Selarón. Toast to the iconic surroundings with a freshly shaken, ice-cold Caipirinha, prepared with local cachaça, muddled fresh limes, and sugar at a beloved neighborhood street stand.
20m
Tuck into a vibrant local gathering spot in Lapa to enjoy a cozy Brazilian comfort food staple. Feast on hot, golden Polenta Frita—thick-cut cornmeal fries cooked until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect for sharing.
20m
Conclude your walking tour soaked in Lapa’s evening atmosphere with a classic churrasco favorite. Indulge in warm Pão de Alho—crusty Brazilian garlic bread stuffed with a rich, creamy garlic-and-herb cheese mixture and toasted over flames until golden and bubbling.
