As you eat, your guide will introduce the vibrant street food culture of downtown Rio.

2. Rei do Mate
Head to iconic Rua Uruguaiana to experience two beloved Brazilian daily staples.

3. Café do Bom Cachaça da Boa
Step into a historic spot along Rua da Carioca for an authentic introduction to Brazil’s national spirit.

Duration: 20 mins
4. Restaurante Baby Galeto
Wander into the Bohemian heart of Lapa for classic bar snacks (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 shredded, seasoned chicken and creamy catupiry-style cheese.
Duration: 30 mins

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.
Duration: 20 mins
