    Beef skewer with rice
    Leeza N.

    Ordered from the food truck and the staff were extremely kind and friendly! I got the beef skewer with rice which they grilled fresh. The meat was so flavourful and not dry at all. I definitely want to get it again next time and to try more items on their menu.

    This was my first time trying Brazilian food so my friends and I were really excited! The server was very friendly and helpful as he gave us some recommendations from the menu. We were able to get a mix of the coxinha (chicken croquettes) and bolinha de queijo (cheese balls), which was nice as we didn't know the option was available (the menu serves each item in orders of 10 pieces but we were able to get 5 of each). Between the two, I liked the bolinha de queijo more; the cheese pull was insane and it's also seasoned with spices so it's extra flavorful. Since we went during happy hour, we got the calabresa, which was made up of sausages and kale, served with fries. For mains, we got the feijoada and picanha. We shared everything between four people and were really full. I'd definitely come back for their bolinha de queijo.

    Picanha (steak)

    Would highly recommend to anyone in the area. I am white so I have nothing to compare it to, however my Brazilian girlfriend said it was quite authentic. We both enjoyed our meals, they were delicious and the portions were large. Coxinha is a must! Would come everyday if I lived closer.

    Picanha na Chapa medium rare

    Have you tried Brazilian Cuisine? This was my first time trying Brazilian cuisine with my bestie and we totally got the Brazilian vibes at Boteco Brasil. We went for happy hour and it wasn't busy. The sizzling hot plate was a good choice to share but I found it a bit too salty. I liked that my friend could eat the steak medium rare and I left the steak on the hot plate longer for medium! You can also combine the croquette flavours to get a variety. There's a patio out front which looks like a great hang out place in the summer. On the table: Picanha na Chapa - 10oz steak served on a hot skillet with sautéed cassava in butter, garlic, vinaigrette, and farofa. Serves two people. 32 Bolinha de Queijo - Crispy potato-based croquette stuffed with mozzarella cheese and oregano. Bolinho de Bacalhau - Croquettes made of shredded Cod, mashed potato dough, green olives and cilantro. 2 of each 11.50 Polenta - Fries made of ground cornmeal with vegetable broth. Served with garlic aioli dip. 11.50 Caipirinhas (40%) 1oz of Cachaca 51, white sugar, ice, muddled and shaken with your choice fruit: Lime, Cashew, Passion Fruit, Mango or strawberry 9.95

    We came on a Sunday for lunch. Not a lot of people so lots of places to sit. We ordered the coxinha, cod cake, Bobo shrimp, stroganoff, trinhas de carne (beef) and the pudding de leche. We've never had Brazilian food before so we didn't know what to expect. Amongst the fried items we had, we enjoyed the cod cake the most. It was crispy and I could taste the bacalhao inside. Not overly salty Out of the mains that we had the Bobo shrimp was our favourite. Very creamy and decadent. It goes really well with the rice. The trinhas de carne was a bit overcooked and chewy but had a strong beefy flavour which I enjoyed. The fries on the side tasted identical to the fries I get from Costco with my hot dog (which I also enjoy) The pudding de leche wasnt overly sweet. Very bouncy but not a lot of egg flavour. Wouldn't get it again Overall cute little Brazilian restaurant. I don't know if it's an accurate representation of Brazilian food but I know that the service is super sweet and friendly. The atmosphere is very neighbourhood friendly - here to enjoy and relax vibes. They also have live music on some nights so you can look out for that and enjoy as well

    Coxinha is a must order! Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside. Delicious dipping sauce.

    A decent spot in the area. The value is great for what you get; the beef was tender and seasoned well. Service is friendly and the food was served quickly.

    I love this restaurant. I'm new to Brazilian cuisine and was nervous about ordering from here via Uber eats. But I'm was so surprised how good the food was. I loved the Beiiinho, Brigadeiro, Coxinha, Pastels, Feijoada / Feijão. The steak was amazing too. Overall it was all fantastic - although I think ordering at lunch time is much better because when I ordered the Feijoada at dinner it only came with one slice of sausage in the whole bowl... usually there are several pieces in the bowl.

    Andrew M.

    Good Brazilian food!!! I would definitely recommend this place. Pretty big portion and tastes very good. The coxinha omg it was really food. I would definitely come back here so many times to get this snack. Cheers!

    Feijoada Vegana
    Matt B.

    Having discovered that they have vegan options, I decided to try them out. I'd never had Brazilian food before, so this is a pretty rookie review in that sense. I ordered their Feijoada Vegana ($19 plus tax), and it was ready waiting for me 20 minutes later. The heart of the dish is a black bean stew with plant-based meat. The stew was very hearty, coming with black beans (duh), zucchini, and only a few pieces (2-3) of plant-based sausage. The dish comes with white rice, sauteed kale that was deliciously garlicy, a simple salsa, and a puzzling cassava flour that I didn't see the point of. The stew wasn't particularly enthralling, especially given the lack of plant-based meat; it has a nice sort of smoky richness, but is otherwise not all that interesting. Other than that, nothing else in the dish is very interesting. I'm not sure I'd return given the rather underwhelming main part of the dish I ordered. Value for money, it's OK, in the sense that I was full; but you just don't get a very interesting meal IMO. I don't know if that's a trait of this dish, that this is a vegan version, or this restaurant. Regardless, it's worth trying if you're vegan and curious about Brazilian food, as I was, but it's nothing special ultimately.

    Delivery- manioca frita and cheese pastel

    Ordered from here today, and boy were we impressed! My partner lived in Brasil for a year and is often craving their street food. We ordered the heart of palm Empada, Pão de Queijo, Pastel -queijo and Mandioca frita... not the healthiest but definitely a much needed end of the week boost! Everything tasted fresh and as per my partner, very authentic. Also so impressed to see so many vegetarian options on their menu. Cannot wait to fo there in person and try everything again! Would recommend!

    Inside the restaurant, with Brazilian decor

    Aside from Brazilian barbecue, known as Churrasco, this is my first experience dining at an authentic Brazilian restaurant. The restaurant itself is quite interesting and funky. I've never been to Brazil but I can totally picture this kind of restaurant setting found in Brazil. The decoration, both outside and inside, totally gives the Brazilian vibe. I can see it being a cool place to gather with your friends and watch sports games. We came during brunch hours as we bought the Groupon. There was live music - a woman singing with her guitar. The Groupon allowed us to get one entree each and access to the "buffet", that consisted of two cakes, fruits, coffee and 4 juices. I'm not sure if it was the food we had but we didn't have a positive experience of Brazilian food. We ordered the empadao (think chicken pot pie) and the hang over bowl. The server described the hang over bowl as being a very "heavy" bowl. She listed kale, sausages, bacon and polenta and said it was a very generous portion. My husband was hungry and this was what he got. When the hang over bowl came, the portion was not generous at all and where was the bacon?? (I checked the online menu once I got home and realized the menu never mentioned bacon.) My empadao was a HUGE disappointment. The entire empadao was lukewarm and, as a result, the food wasn't good at all. The older couple sitting beside us also got this and the husband indicated that his empadao was cold on the inside! He only ate half of his. The kitchen staff probably didn't heat it up thoroughly. The server indicated that without groupon, adding the brunch buffet onto your brunch entree would have costed each person $20. In my personaly opinion, I didn't think the buffet was worth it. The cakes were quite dry. Coffee/fruits/juices were just the usual.

    Drinks menu. The caipirinha was great!

They sell a bunch of Brazilian snacks but overall the inside of the store looked worn out. We came in on a Sunday morning and no one was at the front. I rang the bell and a young girl came to take our order. She was sweet but looked very stressed. She ran to the back and was on the phone with her boss frantically asking for help. She then came running out and told us it'll be a wait because she needs to get a big order out. I replied no problem and went to grab a seat. After awhile I rang the bell again and asked for a refund and said I would return another time. The girl said she could make the food now. The next few minutes all we heard was the microwave constantly going off and it was clear nothing was made fresh. Feijoada: apparently this is their most popular dish and I liked the vibrant colours. However the pork was overcooked and nothing tasted fresh except for the slice of orange. Strogonoff: the creamy sauce was not bad but it was so salty we were really thirsty after. The chicken was overcooked. Coxinha: I was excited to try tradition Brazilian croquettes but these were clearly frozen and again didn't taste fresh.

I looked up the business on the internet and search rendered a location in New Westminster. I kept that in mind so I could take my husband there next time we go to New West.

My husband and I were wandering in the West End waiting for one of my favourite restaurant to open for lunch and stumbled upon their new location on Denman Street. I was so excited that we changed our lunch plans. We bought 3 pastels to share (beef, bacon & cheese, and cheese & guava jam) and had an impromptu picnic at a quiet spot in the Rhododendron Garden at Stanley Park not far away.

It is, as others have said, a neighborhood grocery store / cafe that is unmistakably and authentically Portuguese. Its name, Cafe Algarve, refers to the beachy area in the south of Portugal. However, a poster map of Baixa Pombalina, the Baixa district of Lisbon rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake under the direction of the Marques de Pombal, will be looking at you from the cash register. Locals coming from Portugal definitely frequent this business, close to the intersection of Broadway and Commercial Drive, and many speak in their native language. The owners and the patrons are very friendly. One should stop by to try a pastry and some coffee ... or tea. Also, if you've ever tried, and liked, Sumol, the Portuguese soft drink which comes in orange, pineapple, and passion fruit, you can buy it here. You can also buy other groceries. I recommend coming in the morning for the pastry and coffee. The pastries are pasteis de nata, the traditional Portuguese custard tarts "born" in Lisbon's Belem district, and it's impossible to eat just one. So, for an inexpensive pastry and coffee, meeting some nice folks from across the Atlantic, and doing something atypical while in Vancity, check this place out.
