Meet Roberto

Roberto, a graphic designer, hails from the great city of Porto Alegre, a beautiful city in Southern Brazil. He is very proud of his culture and loves letting guests experience the true flavors of Brazil! Roberto has been BBQing for years and learned from a long line of grill masters. His guests absolutely love his attention to detail and his love for perfectly cooked Brazilian-style steak. Other than cooking great food, Roberto also loves traveling and hosting meals in his vintage flat in a beautiful part of Porto Alegre. The perfect flat mixed with his warm and inviting personality makes for an amazing meal experience. Also, feel free to ask Roberto about his music collection and his guitar. He might even play you a few tunes! Join him for a memorable evening of great food and company.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

In-home meal: (1-5 guests) Join your host Roberto at his flat in Porto Alegre for a traditional Brazilian BBQ. When you arrive at his home, you will be met with a delicious Caipirinha, Brazil's national drink. Roberto will be cooking pichana, a popular Brazilian-style steak that is tender and juicy and seasoned simply with coarse salt. Roberto will also prepare garlic bread and a mixed green salad to enjoy on the side. To end the meal, Roberto loves to prepare mate, a Brazilian favorite drink that brings to life the yerba mate plant for a post-meal boost. This meal will be hosted in his very beautifully designed apartment filled with inspiring art and vintage design elements. The dining table has a fantastic view of the city and the tree-lined streets of Porto Alegre.

I’m very glad I got to meet Roberto at Guillermo’s Oh My Spanish Omelette mealshare! He was a very friendly and positive person. I enjoyed learning more about the city that he is from in Brazil -- I now have a new city to add to my “places I’d like to travel to” list. His plans for a Brazilian BBQ mealshare sounded delicious and I just wish I could have come back into town to join his mealshare! I would definitely mealshare with Roberto again in future ...the next time I’m in NY!
