Overview
Live Rio like a Carioca, from the energy of Ipanema beach to the calm, hill-framed lagoon: beach bars, historic botecos, and plate after plate of local favorite bites, from caipirinhas to açaí.
In Rio, food isn't a separate event. It's woven into life, shared with friends in lively places, usually bite by bite at the beach or around a boteco table. Start the way locals do, with an ice-cold drink and petiscos at a beachfront bar in Ipanema.
Then sit down at the bar where "The Girl from Ipanema" was written for Brazilian grilled classics and a caipirinha. Stop at a bakery open since 1911 for warm pão de queijo, before the city changes pace and you leave the beach behind for the calm of the lagoon. There, at a 1934 boteco with views over the water, share iconic bar dishes and finish with açaí.
Like every Sherpa Food Tour, this route was designed around how locals really live.

Ipanema BeachExperience the Carioca way of eating on a coastal walk through the essence of Rio de Janeiro. Start with a beachside kiosk stop for informal bites and to sink in the heart of the city. Then make your way towards juice bars and infamous acai and stop in a boteco. Finish with class, combining the more street-smart Rio experience with a high-end restaurant and proper sit-down stop.
