What to know about Food Delivery in Brazil

Rappi is the more practical first attempt for a short-stay visitor because many recent travelers have registered without a CPF and paid with an international card.

Best Food Delivery apps in Brazil (2026)

Rappi app icon

RappiEssential

The best first delivery attempt for many visitors because registration and foreign-card payment often work without a CPF.

Pro tip: Enter the exact accommodation address before relying on it. Catalog and verification vary, so keep direct WhatsApp ordering with the restaurant as your fallback.

iFood app icon

iFood

Brazil's largest local delivery marketplace, with the broadest catalog but unreliable access for some foreign visitors.

Pro tip: Try the official passport and international-number flow if offered, but do not assume it will accept your card. Never use a generated CPF to bypass verification.

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.

At a glance

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.
