Itinerary
This isn’t just a cooking class, it’s a real Brazilian BBQ by the sea. You’ll grill shrimp, octopus, and seabass over open flames, sip unlimited caipirinhas, and learn local grilling secrets from our Rio-born instructor. With small groups and a laid-back vibe, it feels more like a beach party than a class. You’ll leave with repeatable recipes, new friends, and our Five-Star Guarantee — if it’s not five stars, you don’t pay for four. Picture yourself grilling seafood over an open flame. Sip on a freshly made caipirinha as you prepare seafood. And you can choose how you want to enjoy the experience: One option includes bottomless drinks, and another is available without alcohol. Just select your preference when booking.

Perfect eating class enough for everyone to get involved and will use the recipes again
It was an amazing cultural immersion! Isa was an amazing teacher and chef. The food was amazing and the ambiance too : good music, good vibes and good food! Me and my boyfriend had a really great time and would highly recommend. Thank you so much Isa! Hope we meet soon in Canada (Québec)
Lovely evening stuffing my face with Brazilian staples! Seafood and meat options available. Learnt to make capirinhas and farofa. Recommend highly
What a great experience!! The class was engaging and educational! He even modified the mine for those in our group with dietary restrictions. 10/10 would recommend
We had a blast learning all about Brazilian seafood and culture with Chef Alex! He was great and we had great vibes, laughs and even better food tonight. This was our girls spring break trip and this just was the cherry on top to an amazing trip!
Chef Alex brought me and my friends such a great, unique experience! We got so lucky that the four of us got a private class and more than enough food. From start to finish we learned and laughed a lot. We got to try the food as we went to still eat a full plate of food at the very end. And of course, dessert! Most importantly chef was welcoming, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. While we did cook ourselves he 100% let us through the way and gave us an unforgettable night.
Such a great, hands on experience. Chef alex is incredible!!!!!! Such good food, the best I’ve had in Rio♥️
Hayza was an awesome tour guide. We had so much fun. In addition to the drinks, we experienced great food and lots of Brazilian culture.
Great experience with Hayza.. We went to bars we would have never found. She was a great tour leader. We had lots of fun. Big thumbs up for tour and Hayza!
The Brazilian Seafood BBQ class was an amazing experience. Chef Alex and his assistant made the experience both fun and knowledgeable. Not only did my group get hands-on cooking experience, but we also learned some Brazilian history as well as how to make the signature Brazil alcoholic drink, caipirinha. I would definitely recommend whoever is visiting Rio de Janeiro Brazil to definitely book this and experience it for yourself.
Did the Seafood BBQ with Alex and it was an amazing experience!! He was extremely accommodating for the people who had allergies, constantly adjusting the menu, and allowing everyone to enjoy. He was very very funny and kept everyone engaged the entire time. We got to cook a TON of dishes and the class was very hands on. The food was also one of the best dishes I had during my time here. One of my favorite experiences here, I loved it and would definitely recommend/
The atmosphere was nice and intimate. I loved the hands on experience. The food was delicious and Alex was a great host!!
Great experience. Chef Alex was extremely helpful and kind. The food was delicious. If you are in Rio, make sure to book Alex.
It was amazing. Great experience! They were both very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone considering!
Andre our head chef for the day is the man!!! He provided a wonderful and authentic experience. He guided us through the history and preparation of Brazil cuisine and also treated us like family. I highly recommend taking time to be apart of this class. We left extremely happy and with full stomachs!
Super yummy food!! Left feeling super full. Andre was very informative and taught us lots. A wonderful way to end out time in Rio
Andre was such a wonderful chef! I feel like I learned so much from him, and by the end I am so stuffed full us good food! I would highly recommend this class if you’re coming to Brazil!!!
We had an amazing time cooking our seafood! Our Chef Hayza was amazing and I highly recommend learning from her. I would 100% do this again
Me and my girlfriend went to the foos cooking class almost purely for Hayza she made the fruit tasting experience so fun when she told us she does the cooking class too we booked it as soon as we got back to the hotel!! The Food was amazing and the Caipirinha‘s were dangerously good !! We had a very fun time eating drinking and laughing with Hayza again!!! If anyone gets the chance to book with Hayza me and my girlfriend would recommend her 100000% she’s the best !!!
Hayza was amazing! The food was outstanding and the instruction was perfect. You could participate as much or as little as you wanted. Half our group of 10 just made and drank caipirinhas and half helped with cooking (which they wanted to do.) Great experience. Great food. 10/10!
This was a great experience! The food was amazing and the vibe was very relaxing and fun. It worked well for our friend group of 10. It was an enjoyable way to do lunch after the beach, in a more interesting way. Would recommend!
This cooking class was fun. We ate a lot and learned so many techniques. They were accommodating and friendly. This is a must do experience.
Exceptional class with loads of interaction and information. Come hungry and you can do as much or as little as you want.
This was amazing. We had a great time, loved learning some new ways to prepare some foods, and Haysa was so much fun. The food was amazing - highly recommend this experience!
Carina is an amazing chef and instructor. We learned how to cook some Brazilian cuisine. We chose the seafood package and everything was so delicious. This was a fun experience and we would definitely do it again!
Food was amazing. Communication was great. Carina was the best and showed us how to do everything! Highly recommend this experience.
Was an unreal experience ! Sooo goood and funny! The team have us clear instructions, good ambiance and excelent ambient! I recomend it 100%
Hyza and her friends were amazing! We ate so much good food. Was a great way to learn about the culture of Brazil while also learning about the food. Would recommend 100%
An amazing experience, the cook is super considerate for allergies, tells you about the story behind the meals and more!
Hayza was the absolute best and treated us with the best service and respect and I would love all our friends to come back and visit and take this class! BEST LUNCH EVER
Had an amazing time cooking with Hayza!! Best food I had in Brazil! She was a pleasure and a great teacher!! I’d highly recommend the experience!
This was my 1st time taking a cooking class and I enjoyed the experience. The food was simple and flavorful. I would recommend anybody to experience brazilian culture through this cooking class.
Carina was our teacher and she was wonderful. We learned about different local foods, made caipi's the way it should be done! And learned about how to prepare octopus, which i was especially interested in. All in all it was a really wonderful time.
We were messed around. They took payment confirmed and then last minute told us there was no chef for Friday but the could accommodate on Saturday. Friday came so I checked with them. After many messages and calls they did not have a chef for Saturday! We missed another excursion because of them not being honest early. They also confirmed we were the only two. I think the price is too high.
An unbelievable experience! Grilling fresh seafood on a primitive grill on Vidigal Beach with a wonderful view. The food and atmosphere were great. A must for seafood lovers!
For my partner's birthday. Amazing food served to us by the incredibly friendly Roberto and Hayza on their bbq on Praia de Vidigal under the trees. Our hearts are belly's our full! 🫶
If you’re seeking an authentic experience in Rio, look no further! This tour is perfect for those wanting to explore beyond the typical tourist spots and connect with the local culture through food. My husband and I went on this unforgettable journey, led by an incredible tour guide who is a true local. His passion for Rio’s cuisine, history, and community shone through every moment. We savored churrasco-style dishes and sipped on delicious caipirinhas while relaxing on a secluded beach with breathtaking views. This unique experience was more than just a tour—it was a heartfelt connection with Rio’s vibrant spirit. Don’t miss out on this extraordinary adventure!
Such a great experience! I totally recommend it! The environment, the teacher, the food, the people I met… everything was so nice!
Our seafood barbecue class at Vidigal Beach was TOP. I took my friends from MG. We made a barbecue of fresh fish, shrimp and lime in a barbecue in the coal with a view of the sea. Those who love seafood and coastal views need to take this class!
