Best Food Delivery apps in Brazil (2026)
RappiEssential
The best first delivery attempt for many visitors because registration and foreign-card payment often work without a CPF.
iFood
Brazil's largest local delivery marketplace, with the broadest catalog but unreliable access for some foreign visitors.
Its restaurant selection can nevertheless be small or absent at a particular address. iFood has by far the broader local footprint, reporting more than 500,000 partners in over 1,500 cities in March 2026, but access remains inconsistent for foreign visitors. iFood has introduced passport and foreign-number flows for some users, yet current reports still describe storefront-region blocks, verification failures, CPF prompts and foreign cards that work initially and are later rejected. Do not change an app-store country or obtain a CPF solely on the promise that this will fix delivery.
Uber Eats has not returned as an independent Brazilian restaurant marketplace. The Uber app can expose iFood listings through a 2025 integration, but iFood remains the merchant and delivery platform. If both apps fail, find the restaurant through its official website or Google listing and ask on WhatsApp whether it delivers directly. Ask whether the courier can bring a card terminal, called a maquininha, or accept cash.
At a hotel, enter the full street address, hotel name and reception instructions, then meet the courier in the lobby. Never send a Pix payment to an unverified number.

Not available here Uber Eats does not run its former standalone restaurant-delivery marketplace in Brazil. The Uber app may show iFood's catalog through the companies' integration, but iFood fulfills those orders.
