Step into our cozy kitchen in Ipanema and get ready for the best Rio de Janeiro cooking class. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned foodie, this experience is the perfect mix of hands-on learning and delicious fun.You will likely be laughing, cooking, and maybe even dancing since it is Rio de Janeiro after all! By the end of the night, you will walk away with not just a massive Brazilian dinner, but a night to remember.
We pick our bilingual instructors because they know how to entertain and connect with people just as well as they know how to cook traditional Brazilian food.
They adjust the tasks on the fly, so everyone from beginners to expert home cooks picks up a few clever kitchen hacks during our Brazilian culinary experience.
Let us know if you prefer a more intimate Rio cooking class with up to 5 people or a livelier group of up to 10. We will help you find a date that matches your vibe.
This experience is offered in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.

"...At some point we were all standing around the counter, laughing, passing bowls around, and singing along to whatever was playing in the background. People who had never chopped an onion were confidently jumping in. It felt like being at a house party where everyone ends up cooking together — messy, social, warm, and somehow everything tastes better because of it."
What surprised me most was how quickly the class stopped feeling like a class....
We aim to enchant, so we get 5-star reviews left and right!
