Overview

    Sample Menu

    Starter

    Cassava sticks

    Golden on the outside, tender on the inside. Brazil’s favorite root, turned into crave-worthy croquettes.

    Starter

    Lime Caipi

    The iconic Brazilian caipirinha with freshly muddled lime. Shake it, sip it, love it!

    Starter

    Pão de Queijo

    Brazil’s bakery celebrity - crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and made from scratch in just 15 minutes.

    Main

    Picanha steak

    Brazil’s most prized cut, oven-roasted low and slow for peak juiciness. Served with buttery farofa and golden cassava chunks.

    Main

    Seafood Moqueca

    An ancestral recipe simmered with fresh fish, coconut milk, and dendê oil. Creamy, aromatic, and served with rice and banana farofa.

    Main

    Buttered cassava

    Melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Rich, golden, and silky - the cassava is the potato's rich cousin.

    Main

    Toasted farofa w banana

    Crunchy, slightly caramelized, and tropically addictive. A Brazilian original - no other cuisine has anything like it.

    Main

    Garlic white rice and vinaigrette sauce

    Fluffy garlic-infused rice with bright, zesty Brazilian vinaigrette. The ultimate sidekick to moqueca or BBQ.

    Dessert

    Brigadilho (Brazilian fudge)

    Pronounced like "armadillo" and considered the "crunchier cousin of Rice Crispy Treats, Brigadilho is a must for anyone with a sweet-tooth!

    Dessert

    Amazonian licqor

    A handcrafted liqueur made with wild Amazonian fruits. Toast the night with something sweet, bold, and unforgettable - just like Brazil.

    Erica was a great host...

    Matthew_V, Jan 2026
    Erica was a great host showing us how to cook traditional Brazilian foods. Was very delicious and the unlimited caipirinhas was a big plus. Erica was super nice friendly as well as her colleague who was there helping. When eating our meal she gave us great recommendations as well. Would love to do again!

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Love that the family vibe and the unlimited caipirinhas added to the evening — Erica and her team aim to teach with warmth and a lot of flavour. Thanks for the recommendation, we’d be delighted to host you again. 🍹 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta

    This was an amazing...

    Jennifer_L, Nov 2025
    This was an amazing experience. We participated in making a drink, an appetizer, cheese bread, an entree with two sides, a salad, and a dessert. Erica was spectacular and shared lots of culinary history with us. This was one of my favorite excursions in Rio.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thrilled this was a top excursion for you, Erica’s teaching mixes history and hands-on skills so each bite feels meaningful. Thanks for the lovely shout-out. 🍛 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta
