Overview

Most churrasco tours just feed you.
Here, you become part of the party.

Guided by two lively hosts, everyone takes a role: flipping picanha, toasting cassava farofa, stirring the vinaigrette, or mixing tropical cocktails. It’s collaborative, fun, and truly Brazilian.

You’ll taste premium cuts like cupim — a marbled “Brazilian wagyu” — and learn recipes that locals swear by for every gathering. Drinks flow freely, music keeps the vibe alive, and even if it rains our covered patio guarantees the night goes on.

This is more than dinner: it’s your backstage pass to Brazilian hospitality, where strangers turn into friends over smoky grills and clinking glasses.

With personalized attention, every guest leaves saying, 'This was the highlight of my trip to Rio.'

What to expect

Begin your experience in a welcoming outdoor BBQ setting in Copacabana, where fire, food, and good company set the tone for the evening.

Meet your hosts and a small group, then head straight to the grill. No cooking experience is needed - everyone takes part, whether turning cuts of meat, preparing classic sides, or mixing drinks.

Together, you’ll prepare and enjoy 10 Brazilian BBQ favorites locals never miss at a churrasco, such as garlic bread, picanha, cupim, grilled pineapple, and more. Along the way, your hosts share practical techniques you can easily repeat at home.

Drinks are bottomless throughout the experience and as the food cooks, the space naturally turns into a shared table of conversation and laughter.

Afterward, you’ll receive our digital recipe book, a curated Rio Food Guide, and candid photos from the experience. You leave with recipes, practical skills, real memories — and the peace of mind of our 5-Star Money-Back Guarantee.

This experience is offered in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.

Don’t feel like cooking? Book as a youth instead of an adult for a lower price, and simply watch, eat, drink, and enjoy the class.
