Description

Fire up the grill and step into a real Brazilian backyard party in the heart of Copacabana. This isn’t just a class - it’s a Brazilian-style grill party.

You’ll start by meeting your warm local hosts and jumping straight into the action: marinating juicy cuts like:

  • Premium Picanha

    Grilled over high heat for maximum tenderness and flavor.

  • Fraldinha (Flank Steak)

    Fire-seared, tender and intense.

  • Slow-Grilled Cupim

    Butter-soft and aromatic, cooked low and slow over the coals.

As the grill sizzles, you’ll craft two essential sides: our richer, bolder take on vinaigrette, and a crunchy banana farofa - lightly caramelized and buttery. The perfect balance between savory richness and the natural sweetness of ripe plantains.

But food is just the beginning. You’ll also learn how to make bottomless caipirinhas and batida de coco, Brazil’s iconic tropical cocktails. As music fills the air and conversations spark, this class turns into a true patio celebration.

Whether you're flipping meat, mixing drinks, or dancing to live samba beats, this is your moment to feel the real spirit of Rio - vibrant, warm, and unforgettable.

This is more than a meal.
It’s a memory you’ll carry for life.

And if it’s not truly unforgettable - a 5-star experience - we’ll give you your money back.

This experience is offered in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.

Book now and don’t miss the chance to create an unforgettable memory.
