About this experience
Most food experiences take you to a fixed route or a pre-selected menu. This one gives you more freedom.
With this private guided dinner, you choose the restaurant and enjoy the evening with a local food expert by your side. Your guide helps you understand the menu, choose Brazilian dishes with confidence, and learn the cultural context behind what you are eating.
It is ideal if you want to try a churrascaria, a local restaurant, or a more refined dining spot, but do not want to guess your way through the menu alone.
The experience is also simple and transparent: the price covers the private guide service only. Food and drinks are paid directly by you at the restaurant, based on what you order. One flat guide fee covers up to 6 guests, making it a flexible option for couples, families, and small groups.

Itinerary and highlights
Turn your dinner in Rio into a private guided food experience.
Instead of joining a fixed food tour or choosing blindly from a restaurant menu, you’ll have a local food expert by your side to help you understand Brazilian cuisine, choose dishes with confidence, and enjoy the meal with cultural context.
You choose the restaurant. It can be a classic churrascaria, a casual spot, a boutique restaurant, or another place that fits your taste and budget. If you already have a restaurant in mind, your guide can meet you there. If you need help deciding, we can suggest the best fit based on what you want to try.
During dinner, your guide will explain Brazilian ingredients, regional dishes, local dining habits, food traditions, and the stories behind what you eat. It is a relaxed way to experience Brazilian food with someone who can translate the menu, give recommendations, and make the evening more meaningful.
The price covers the private guide service only. Food and drinks are not included, and you pay your restaurant bill directly at the end. You do not need to pay for the guide’s meal.
Available in 2-hour and 3-hour options, with one flat guide fee for up to 6 guests.
