I kept thinking, “There’s no way I would have found even a quarter of this on my own.”...
via GetYourGuide ★ 5.0
...In three hours, we tried snacks from supermarkets, street foods, grilled meats, sweets, and drinks that locals actually buy and argue about. Because everything was in one place and portions were small, it felt like skimming through Brazil’s greatest hits in one sitting instead of spending days guessing what to order around town.

Know before you book

What makes this tasting worth booking instead of going to a few restaurants on my own?
This experience brings together flavors, stories, and cultural context in a way that regular restaurant visits usually don’t. You’ll try a curated range of local specialties with guidance from a host who helps you understand what you’re tasting and why it matters.
What if my plans change?
We know travel plans can shift. That’s why we offer flexible support, including rescheduling whenever possible, and many bookings also qualify for free cancellation depending on the platform’s policy.
Who hosts the experience?
Your tasting is led by a local host with real culinary knowledge and a strong connection to the destination’s food culture. They guide you through the session with local insight, storytelling, and recommendations.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes. We can usually adapt for most dietary needs if you let us know in advance, including vegetarian, pescatarian, and dairy-free requests. The main exception is strict gluten-free or celiac requirements, since we cannot guarantee zero cross-contamination.
Is this a small-group experience?
Yes. Our tastings are designed for small groups of up to 12 guests, so the atmosphere stays personal, social, and relaxed.
Will I leave full?
In most cases, yes. Our tasting sessions are designed to feel generous and satisfying, often replacing a full meal rather than just offering a few small samples.
Where does the experience start, and is it easy to get there?
After booking, our booking manager will send you clear step-by-step instructions, including the exact meeting point, arrival tips, and the easiest way to get there. In most cases, it’s very easy to reach by Uber.
