    A Great Experience

    Ronaldo was amazing! The food was delicious and we really appreciated the cultural background he provided with the dishes

    Response from the operator: Understanding the cultural background makes every single bite of those 34 tastings even better! We're so glad Ronaldo provided such a delicious and informative afternoon in São Paulo. Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta

    ... What was that?

    Unfortunately we seemed to have tasted less than the 34 foods we were promised. I think I counted 20 at most. I am not sure if it's because our groups had 2 vegetarians and a few people with nut allergies, but what we tasted was mostly fried things and cheeses, with barely any meat to the menu. My partner and I were left hungry at the end of the tasting, with the experience lasting only 1h30-2h instead of the 3 promised. About the food accommodations: usually when individuals have accommodations, the host will either still serve the dish and offer an alternative to the people impacted, or serve the dish anyway and tell the people they simply can/should skip this one. It seems the Chef decided to completely remove everything that didn't please everyone from his menu, which is very odd. We were also asked on many occasions to split bite-size food items amongst us under the pretence that "we still have a lot to taste". I wouldn't have minded doing that if we actually had a lot to taste... Ronaldo was nice and gave us nice insights and addresses as to where to eat in SP... but besides that, I must admit I am disappointed in my experience. This was absolutely not worth the price. And having done 4 food tours/tastings in the past in different countries, I do speak from experience.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We believe there was a significant misunderstanding about the experience booked. This is an indoor tasting session, not a walking food tour, restaurant dinner, or steakhouse experience. The 30+ local foods refer to individual tasting portions designed to let guests discover a wide range of Brazilian flavors without being overwhelmed. The experience includes items such as caipirinha, guaraná, pastel, mandioca, regional cachaças, Brazilian cheeses, tapioca, caju, nuts, coxinha, croquete, bolinho de bacalhau, palmito, kibe, chicken hearts, dadinho, pé de moleque, cocada and other traditional sweets and snacks. Meat is included, but the purpose is to explore the diversity of Brazilian cuisine, not to provide a steakhouse-style meal. We completed the experience as described, and the other participants from the same session also left very positive reviews. The session length was also consistent with the experience offered and was not shortened as suggested. We are sorry if the format or timing was not what you expected. Had you contacted us after the experience, we would have been happy to address your concerns directly and offer a full refund.

    Disappointing and overpriced for what was delivered

    our São Paulo cooking and food tour turned out to be a massive disappointment. While the chef was welcoming, had a cool restaurant, and taught us how to make caipirinhas, the experience fell woefully short of its promises. Because another group was vegetarian, the meat-heavy menu we expected vanished, and instead of the advertised 30 to 40 dishes over three hours, we were handed tiny bite-sized fried snacks—like a single croquette, a pastel, and some yucca fries—and told to split them among the group. After mostly eating fritters, cheese, and different types of peanuts, the host rushed us out after only two hours. For that price, we could have had an incredible steak at a premium restaurant, but instead, we left hungry and had to go straight to McDonald’s after the tour just to have our real supper.

    Save your time and money

    It was a scam. No 32 tasting, no real testing at all. Tragically overpriced misrepresented event. You can have a dinner with friends at the upscale restaurant with alcohol for the price of a single ticket, and this is what you should do instead. Would not recommend it at all.

    An exceptional culinary experience

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience exploring the local cuisine of São Paulo. This was so much more than simply tasting food—it was an engaging and memorable journey through Brazilian culinary culture and history. Our host was exceptionally knowledgeable about Brazilian cuisine and shared fascinating stories about the origins, traditions, ingredients, and cultural influences behind the dishes we tasted. His passion for Brazilian food and its history was evident throughout the experience and gave us a much deeper appreciation for everything we were enjoying. He was also incredibly friendly, warm, and engaging. From the moment we arrived, he made everyone in our group feel genuinely welcome and comfortable. His enthusiasm and wonderful personality created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. We were not only well fed, but thoroughly entertained throughout the experience! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, with a wonderful variety of authentic local flavors. Each tasting felt thoughtfully selected, and learning about the story behind the food made everything even more enjoyable. There was a perfect balance between tasting, conversation, history, and fun. This was truly one of the highlights of our time in São Paulo. If you want to experience Brazilian cuisine in an authentic, informative, and entertaining way, we highly recommend this experience. The combination of exceptional food, delicious drinks, fascinating culinary history, and a warm and engaging host made it an experience we will remember for a long time.

    Response from the operator: What a wonderful review! We’re delighted that the experience went beyond simply tasting food and gave you a deeper look into São Paulo’s culinary history, traditions, and cultural influences. It’s especially lovely to hear that the stories behind each tasting made the flavors even more meaningful. Thank you for highlighting the warm atmosphere and for recommending us! Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta

    3h Tasting Session in São Paulo with 34 Local Foods & Drinks: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sao Paulo.

    How much does 3h Tasting Session in São Paulo with 34 Local Foods & Drinks cost?

    +

    Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sao Paulo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3h Tasting Session in São Paulo with 34 Local Foods & Drinks take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sao Paulo is not rushed.

    Is 3h Tasting Session in São Paulo with 34 Local Foods & Drinks worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sao Paulo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3h Tasting Session in São Paulo with 34 Local Foods & Drinks?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 3h Tasting Session in São Paulo with 34 Local Foods & Drinks suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3h Tasting Session in São Paulo with 34 Local Foods & Drinks?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sao Paulo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sao Paulo and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3h Tasting Session in São Paulo with 34 Local Foods & Drinks start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sao Paulo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sao Paulo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sao Paulo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 5-hour Private Tour Of São Paulo With Its Main Sights – Optional Airport Pickup, 6-Hour Classic Half-Day Private Tour of São Paulo – Optional Airport Pickup, São Paulo’s Full Day City Tour: Main City Sights – (Shared Group). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sao Paulo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sao Paulo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 3h Tasting Session in São Paulo with 34 Local Foods & Drinks?

    +

    Included: Insightful commentary from a local food expert; All the food and drinks included in the tasting; Alcoholic beverages; Guided tasting of 34 local specialties, including savory, sweet, and beverage items; and Small group (max 8 people) for a cozy, personalized experience.

    Where is the meeting point for 3h Tasting Session in São Paulo with 34 Local Foods & Drinks?

    +

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3h Tasting Session in São Paulo with 34 Local Foods & Drinks?

    What happens to 3h Tasting Session in São Paulo with 34 Local Foods & Drinks if the weather is bad?
