WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN BRAZIL

Get ready to fall in love with Brazilian food as we show you all the best places to try classic dishes like feijoada and churrasco meat, all washed down with a fresh caipirinha.

Feijoada

If you’re looking for Brazilian comfort food, look no further than feijoada. This national treasure is traditionally made from black beans (feijão), chunks of beef, smoked sausage, salted pork, strips of jerky beef, and vegetables like potatoes and pumpkin all stirred together in a soul-warming stew.

Barbecued Meat

Barbecue meat is Brazil’s favourite food and you’ll get to the heart of the country at a local Churrascaria, where they cook meat in a mouthwatering churrasco (barbecue) style. It's usually served by slicing the meat off the sizzling skewers right at your table, then you get to tuck in all-you-can-eat style.
