Celebrate Afro-Brazilian heritage through cooking class

Join me, the chef at one of Brazil’s top Afro-Brazilian restaurants, as we set off on a culinary journey. My dishes honor the tradition of the orixás—the spirits representing nature's forces in Candomblé, an Afro-Brazilian religion. • We’ll begin with a tribute to Oshun, the goddess of love and beauty, as sacred rhythms performed by an Ogã help set the tone for a warm, spiritual experience. • Next, we’ll enjoy a refreshing drink while we learn how Afro-Brazilian cuisine connects tradition, spirituality, and storytelling. • After our brief history lesson, I’ll guide you as we prepare a dish that harkens back to Candomblé tradition, using ingredients rich in history and symbolism. Along the way, I’ll share personal stories of family, faith, and African heritage. • Finally, we’ll sit down for a communal meal. You’ll leave with new recipes, a deeper connection to Afro-Brazilian culture, and plenty of memories to cherish.

Guests under 18 can participate, and instead of the alcoholic flavors, they will receive an extra portion of the two non-alcoholic options.

Foodies about town

This delicious introduction to food and drinks from around Brazil is unlike any other. Over the course of 4-5 hours, we'll eat and drink our way across the most interesting parts of Rio that most visitors never get to see. We'll start in one of Rio's bustling street markets, where we'll taste exotic fruits and street food dishes. After that, we'll head to my favorite Brazilian-Portuguese restaurant in Lapa for a taste of old-school Brazil, where the waiters dress in white jackets, and serve the most delicious salt cod croquettes in town. From there, we'll wander into Centro, the oldest part of the city to visit a secret foodie hotspot, a hole-in-the-wall serving classic boteco snacks (think Brazilian tapas). We’ll then take a short ride to Flamengo, where we'll taste the uniquely delicious regional dishes, first from Northeastern Brazil and finally from the Amazon. IMPORTANT: There is a different meeting point each day of the week and the Airbnb app is not able to handle this, so we will give you detailed information on how to get to the meeting point in a message after you book. ALSO: We generally do NOT serve feijoada or the rodizio style churrasco (all you can eat barbecue). But we can help you find the very best of both!

Faremos uma aula de culinária onde você aprenderá a fazer uma moqueca de peixe baiana - prato típico brasileiro que é peixe com molho e utilizaremos azeite de dendê, pimentão, coentro, pimenta e outros ingredientes exóticos da culinária brasileira. Antes mostrarei como fazer uma deliciosa caipirinha de limão com todos os truques brasileiros na minha casa no alto de uma rua sem saída, um cantinho especial do Rio e ao som da nossa MPB (música popular brasileira). Subiremos as escadas para o terraço com uma vista deslumbrante da Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, Corcovado e montanhas e aproveitaremos o entardecer enquanto o nosso peixe estará curtindo no tempero. Descendo para a cozinha, faremos a moqueca de peixe e uma farofa (comida tradicional brasileira de origem indígena feita com farinha de mandioca). O Brasil é um país multifacetado assim como sua culinária que é cheia de sabores, cores e odores. Quando estiver pronta, jantaremos todos na sala de jantar com vinho branco ou rosé da América do Sul. Outras observações: Sob consulta existe a possibilidade de moqueca vegetariana para um grupo privado. Minha rua tem guarita e segurança, que estará avisado da sua chegada. Seja bem vindo!

Backstreet bar-hopping & Brazilian tapas

We'll meet up in a lively bar in Lapa for a few drinks and some of Rio's famously delicious bar food. After visiting an ancient 'hole-in-the-wall' cachaça bar, we'll either head up into the North Zone or to Santa Teresa - in either case, we'll visit a couple of awesome little locals' bars. In each place we visit we'll have drinks - caipirinhas, locally brewed beers, cachaças and 'batidas' - as well as more food: traditional bar food snacks (think: Brazilian tapas) plus more substantial dishes. We'll visit gritty locals' bars and some fancier places too. Towards the end of the tour we'll return to the liveliest part of Lapa (packed full of bars, restaurants and samba clubs), or to a street samba event near the Port Zone. Here we'll finish up with a final drink and the guide will help you decide on the perfect follow-up activity, whether it be a bar, a samba club or just a taxi back to your hotel :) Other things to note: This tour focuses on traditional Brazilian drinking (and eating) culture, so it doesn't really work for people who only drink wine. Please come hungry and thirsty!
