Activity itinerary

CHIC’S PASTELARIA

  • 20m
Meet your guide at Carioca Metro Station to kick off your day adventure. We jump straight into a classic Brazilian morning tradition at a local favourite: a giant, crispy, freshly fried Pastel paired with a massive, ultra-refreshing 500ml Laranjada (freshly squeezed orange juice).

Rei do Mate

  • 20m
Next, we stroll over to experience a staple of daily life for working Cariocas. Enjoy a cup of warm, soft Pães de Queijo (12 mini cheese bread balls to share) washed down with an ice-cold, refreshing Mate with Lemonade (300ml)—the absolute favourite sweet drink of Rio de Janeiro.

Café do Bom Cachaça da Boa

  • 20m
Step into a beautifully curated local spot to discover Brazil's legendary spirits. You'll try a shot of premium, artisanal Cachaça (sugar cane spirit) alongside a fascinating shot of Jambu to share—a unique Amazonian herb-infused spirit known for leaving a thrilling, numbing tingle on your lips.

Restaurante Baby Galeto

  • 30m
Head towards the historic arches of Lapa to taste Brazil's absolute favourite savoury snacks. At this area favourite, we'll dive into a hot portion of crispy Bolinho de Bacalhau (6 codfish cakes) and classic teardrop-shaped chicken Coxinha (6 units).

Cantinho da Verinha

  • 20m
Take a break in the vibrant Lapa area at a trusted local spot for a giant, freshly muddled 500ml street Caipirinha. Sip Brazil’s national cocktail while soaking in the local energy, learning about the neighborhood's bohemian history from your guide.

Amarelinho da Cinelândia - (Centro, RJ)

  • 30m
We conclude our daytime journey at one of Rio's most historic outdoor cafes in the majestic Cinelândia square. Relax in the shade and feast on savoury Queijo Coalho (firm, grilled squeaky cheese) drizzled with rich, sweet sugar cane molasses. It's the ultimate sweet-and-savory finish right by the stunning Municipal Theatre and the Arcos da Lapa aqueduct.
