What To Expect

Join this activity for welcoming local home to learn the true art of São Paulo-style churrasco. Under the guidance of an English‑speaking churrasqueiro, you’ll spark the coals, season the meat, and carve perfection straight off the grill. Between pours of caipirinha, wine or ice‑cold chopps, discover why Brazilian BBQ is as much about community and storytelling as it is about exceptional flavor. No stiff demos, just hands‑on grilling, lively banter, and generous pours. You’ll learn to coax smoky flavors from every cut, taste the juice of each slice, and see why Brazilians gather around fire to forge lifelong bonds. Leave with new skills, new friends, and a belly full of authentic Brazilian BBQ bliss. This experience happens in the safety of our instructor's home and not in a culinary studio. You'll get a glimpse into how locals live, cook and eat.

Best part of our trip to São Paulo

Our dinner at was hands down the highlight of our trip to São Paulo. The service was exceptional from the moment we walked in — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. The quality of the meat was unbelievable, perfectly cooked and endlessly coming to the table, and every cut somehow seemed better than the last. What really made the experience special was the atmosphere. It felt elevated and authentic at the same time — the kind of dinner you talk about long after the trip ends. Between the incredible food, amazing cocktails, and the overall hospitality, this was one of the best experiences. If you’re visiting São Paulo, this place is absolutely worth it.
Delicious food and drink, and plenty of it. Andre is an amazing chef and host.
