Activity itinerary

Rei do Mate

  • 20m
Kick off your culinary walk along iconic Rua Uruguaiana with two beloved Brazilian daily staples. Share a warm cup of golden, chewy Pão de Queijo (traditional cassava flour cheese bread balls) alongside a cold, iced Mate com Limão—toasted yerba mate tea blended with tangy lemonade, the ultimate refreshing start to exploring city centre Rio.

Armazém Senado

  • 30m
Step inside a historic 1907 antique boteco in Centro for an authentic spirit and snack tasting. Share a shot of artisanal Cachaça (distilled sugar cane spirit) and a shot of native Amazonian Jambu—a tingling herbal spirit—paired with flaky, savoury Empadinhas (mini baked savoury pies).

Restaurante Baby Galeto

  • 30m
Wander into the Bohemian heart of Lapa for classic bar bites (comida de boteco). Savour a plate of crispy, golden Bolinhos de Bacalhau (salt cod fritters) alongside savoury Coxinhas—tear-drop-shaped fried croquettes filled with seasoned chicken and creamy cheese.

Barraca da Fátima - Melhores Drinks, Caipirinhas e Caipifrutas da Lapa - RJ

  • 20m
Arrive at the foot of world-famous Escadaria Selarón, the vibrant tiled staircase created by artist Jorge Selarón. Toast to the iconic surroundings with a freshly shaken, ice-cold Caipirinha, prepared with local cachaça, muddled fresh limes, and sugar at a beloved area street stand.

Jurema da Lapa Alimentos e Bebidas LTDA

  • 20m
Tuck into a vibrant local gathering spot in Lapa to enjoy a cosy Brazilian comfort food staple. Feast on hot, golden Polenta Frita—thick-cut cornmeal fries cooked until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect for sharing.

Mureta da Lapa

  • 20m
Conclude your walking tour soaked in Lapa’s evening atmosphere with a classic churrasco favourite. Indulge in warm Pão de Alho—crusty Brazilian garlic bread stuffed with a rich, creamy garlic-and-herb cheese mixture and toasted over flames until golden and bubbling.
