Family night for a meaty dinner and it was wonderful! All our carnivorous cravings were fully satisfied. The sides were delicious and each done with entree-level care and quality. Meats were cut generously. Each meat was marinated perfectly, the salt bringing out the natural flavors of the beef, lamb, chicken, and the sausage. Second time here and it only got better! read more

My husband and I went there last night and we really liked it. The staff was friendly and the food came quick. The drinks were strong af. The only problem was the food was too salty. But I'm not gonna take off a star for that because I feel like the next time I go I can just ask for less salt. This place was recommended by three Brazilian friends that I know who said that it tasted like home, and I love trying authentic cuisine. I will definitely go back. The flavor was absolutely delicious on absolutely every item we got. read more

To me, their food was much like comfort food. Rice, meat and vege? That the one. Meat is perfectly prepared. I loved their hot oil(or hot sauce) made out of Brazilian pepper. You can splash it on top of any. They said they are preparing to manufacture it as most of customers are looking to buy it. And I became one of them, ended following them on instagram too. Since I was the only customer at the time of visit I had a chance to meet the chef too. Chef came to our table and explained about their business and it was a nice chat too. I would definitely go back and would like to visit Kirkland location as well. read more

Meat was tough. They are moving to Kirkland and I hope they improve their product. Good service.

We've been here now 4-5 times? , 2 for takeout during Covid (loved it), and have been 3 times for dine in. Overall based on our experience, would give it a 5. (Probably if I want to be strict, or a jerk :) knock a star down for speed.. it's a bit slow for food to come out, for them to get your check, etc. ) but as long as you set expectations and not go when you're in a rush, hangry, - you won't regret it coming - the food is good! Definitely go for their rodízio. If you have younger kids - kids under 7 are free! (But bring activities in case things are slow) But we'll keep coming back - Authentic and tasty Brazilian food, and friendly staff. We don't bother with fogo or novilhos anymore now that this place is opened. Happy to have them in the area - and wish them success! read more

Let me start from the cons: - the restaurant is too cold! We were freezing even with our jackets on. No ambience. - both the server and the cook are not friendly. - the server didn't even look at my eyes when he was making eye contacts with other guys and took my order at the end. - all of our food came out cold although we were only customers. - We ordered 2 exactly same churrasco special on the menu, but my steakwas a half the size of the other guy's and mostly fat! Now the Pros: - Came to the restaurant 30 minutes before closing, but they let us dine-in. - the flavor of food was good in general. - When I complained about my steak, the guy went to cook and gave us more steak. - prices are super reasonable. It was like $28ish for the churrasco special. Overall, the food is not bad. It's pretty reasonable. Just order to go. - read more

Went there on a Friday early afternoon and had a wonderful meal. We had the all you can eat and it was delicious--all the meats were tender and the authentic sides were fantastic. Prompt friendly service. This place is a bit hole-in-the wall; very casual environment. As good if not better than the more expensive all you can eat Brazilian restaurant in Bellevue. Give it a try! read more

Wonderful addition to the neighborhood! Our first visit, and surely not the last. The artwork and overall vibe of this cozy small restaurant allows you to take deep breaths and enjoy the moment. We didn't feel "rushed" to hurry and get through the meal, or maybe it felt that way because we haven't had a nice meal without the kid for over 2 years ha! The music was calming and food delicious! We ordered the Bife acebolado (Beef with caramelized onion) - very tender and flavorful. Loved the garlic rice, creamy beans, and crispy fries. Portion size was perfect. Hubby enjoyed the Brazilian Churrasco - tender meat, including the chicken! We also had their signature cocktail- Caipiriña which was refreshing and not too sweet. Looking forward to trying more! read more

Great find! Thank you Yelp! We were up north and I was looking for a good place for lunch. I searched for steak and found Botteco Brazil. When we entered, we were the only customers. I wasn't sure if it was going to be the type of churrasco where servers walk around with skewers, but the owner suggested the first item on the menu, "Brazilian Churrasco" and we each got a plate with Beef, chicken wrapped with bacon, pork sausage, and sirloin with sides of rice and beans (we skipped the potato salad.) It actually worked out really nicely to have a plate (rather than servers with skewers) - no awkward decision making on when to take more, and we got to take home leftovers! The meat was incredible. It was wonderfully flavored and tender. We met both of the owners and they were so sweet. They have live music in the evening and even invited us to come back on Christmas! We live kind of far but we're already looking forward to our next visit. I also saw on their Facebook that they're planning to open a Fremont location next year, so I'll be happy when they're a little closer! read more

This is probably the worst restaurant experience I've had in Seattle. Arrived asking for the meat service. Said it wasn't available and proceeded to serve it to others in my face. Ordered an entree instead...half my food was raw. Instead of re-firing the raw food, they cooked the entire dish, then over-cooking my lamb. They then ignored me and charged full price. F*CK THESE GUYS! read more

What an amazing experience! Looking for something new to us and protein heavy, this is where yelp led us. The owner greeted us and he was so friendly and suggested a delicious authentic Brazilian cocktail that my husband loved. We went with all the meats. The Brazilian Churrasco for him, which came with all the sides and a lovely potato salad with this delightfully savory season that they use on all the sides. I went with the Garlic Aioli Shrimp and a bit of ridiculously spicy (but so good) hot sauce. The whole meal felt like a Brazilian neighbor invited us over for dinner. The waitress, the owner the whole vibe just felt like a low key, friendly neighborhood meal amongst friends. Don't miss out on this gem read more

Yum! It's great to have a Brazilian restaurant that is not just a theatrical rodízio style churrascaria. Is there churrasco at Botteco Brazil? Absolutely! Is it delicious. Yes!!! But the grilled meat isn't the only thing on the menu here. Several delicious plates and side dishes are also here, and they are all served in a charming and more intimate setting than the big showy places. And the service is friendly, professional, and...well, you will be treated like family. In a good way. Worth supporting. And your taste buds and stomach will thank you for being so kind to them. read more

Botteco Brazil is a newish restaurant located along a busy throughfare of Bothell Way, just off the northeast end of 145th at the crossroads of Seattle's Lake City neighborhood and Shoreline. If you see Briley's BBQ and Grill in Lake Forest Park, you've gone too far on Bothell Way...btw great grilled meats and sides also. Exercise caution as you approach the restaurant southbound on Bothell Way. A shared parking lot is located behind the restaurant. I placed a takeout order onsite back on 2/24/21. The waitperson was very friendly and welcoming when I arrived. There were a few occupied tables for socially distanced indoor dining and also other takeout orders ahead of me. I ordered two Churascos ($18 each) which was very generous: assorted grilled meats, sausage, and bacon wrapped chicken bite. Also included were Brazilian style potato salad, black beans, garlic jasmine rice, and farofa (toasted cassava flour). This is in contrast to my recent takeout for Just the Meats at Opus Co for (also $18 each). One receives just the featured grilled proteins, nothing else. Overall, great service, well packed takeout, and generous amount of food - big bang for your culinary dollars! read more

The ambience is warm and welcoming immediately once you walk in. Rich Brazilian wood done in a very authentic style that is very comfortable. The server Simone, is very sweet, and shares that she and her husband built this lovely place with their own two hands! I love everything about this place and it turns out they are in our new hood! We'll be back again and again! We had the Freijoada (black bean stew) is filled with meaty delish chunks that bring such rich flavors and served with lovely light jasmine rice and the most spectacular Collard Greens I've had in a minute! The Camarăo ao Alho E ÓLeo (garlic shrimp) were perfectly cooked and lovely flavors. We treated ourselves to Churrasco Misto (grilled mixed meats) which was succulent and expertly cooked proteins in that classic Brazilian Grill style but leveled up. Ok, who's kidding who, we treated ourselves to this whole amazing meal so it also included the Păo de Queijo (cheese bread) that should be illegal because I could see becoming addicted to these! Delicious cocktails from the bar as well definitely did not disappoint! As I said, we love this place and will return, so far they don't talk about grass fed proteins but I'll keep working on them. They select their ingredients with great care. This would make it beyond amazing! As with all my other reviews, I take into consideration the class of restaurant that I am reviewing. I have been to Michelin starred, white glove restaurants, and the best little mom and pop corner shops on the planet and what I care about is the freshness of ingredients the warmth of the staff And the flavors of the food. read more

Botteco is NEW... a Brazilian steak and rib house on the upper west side of Lake Washington in Lake City. The pictures I've posted tell the story! This us some of the best food we've ever eaten! We ordered for "take out", so what you see is shown on our plates at home. The bone-in beef rib tasted like it had been in a smoker for hours. The flavor was all beef without being over spiced. It was over the top delicious! The 8-hour slow roasted pork ribs were supple you could almost drink them... oh My God! The bacon-wrapped bbq chicken was just the right pairing of chicken breast in a salted bacon oil. The sausage link was bbq'd as well... I ate it as finger food. The three side dishes, rice, black beans and potato salad were a highlight and paired with the various meats beautifully. I could make a meal out of the potato salad alone! The vegetable palm salad is absolutely delicious with Italian dressing, and the variety of vegetables, greens, tomatoes and palm created a very rich, complex salad.... totally satisfying! I can't say enough good about this restaurant. It is modern and clean, with lots of parking. .... definitely a 5-STAR experience! read more

In summary...outstanding experience overall. will 100% return here, and have zero complaints, was so much better than I had expected. 11/9/24. We were visiting Seattle and didn't make advance dinner reservations (party of 6, 3 adults, a teenager, and 2 kids aged 6 and 10). Originally, had planned on going to Niku japanese BBQ up in Shoreline, and they had no tables available. We then tried Fogo De Chao, up in Lynnwood, and they were also without availability. Checked Yelp, and found Botteco Brazil in Shoreline, with great reviews and was close by. Figured we'd give it a shot. They had a table available, and it was ready when we showed up. From the parking lot, you could already smell the absolute deliciousness. The restaurant itself was very clean, nicely decorated in a Brazilian motif, and it was apparent that this is a small, family-run business. We were seated and immediately got menus and water. Drink orders were taken and delivered promptly. We opted for the Rodizio menu, which is all you can eat with unlimited meat and unlimited sides. The side dish portions are small, but they bring you as much as you want. The sides were all delicious! fried bananas, garlic shrimp, collard greens, and polenta were some of the favorites. We're snacking on some sides and drinks and then the meat starts to come out. everything was fantastic. Their homemade sausages are delicious. The picanha (beef culotte) is to die for. The top and bottom sirloin were amazingly flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked to medium rare. The lamb had a bit of a strong flavor, not my favorite, but it was good. The bacon wrapped chicken and the wings were the only meats that we didn't opt for seconds. The cinnamon grilled pineapple was amazing! Kids all had Brazilian sodas, Grown ups each had a beer, and we ordered 3 Brazilian custards for dessert. they included an 18% gratuity because of the size of the party, and we opted to tip additionally because the service was so friendly and the food was amazing. Overall, bill including extra tip and taxes was $350 for 6 people, which with drinks and dessert, is really not too bad for a nice steakhouse dinner these days. Adult Rodizio is $42, Kids 12 and under are half price, kids 6 and under are FREE! We've been to a few other places, and the consensus was the the meats were BETTER here than at Fogo de Chao, but the sides were not quite as good. however, it's 2/3 of the price. The kids all felt like the flavor of the steak was better than the metropolitan grill which was our last family outing to a Seattle steakhouse. read more

We came here for our 45th Wedding Anniversary. The food is absolutely amazing! So much fun having the meat cut at the table, large choice of sides. The black beans were yummy and I also liked the fried yucca Our server was so helpful and sweet, we found out later that she is the owner Wonderful ambiance, very intimate like being invited to eat at a friends house. I only have tow alcoholic drinks a year, one on my Birthday and one on my Anniversary. I had a Caipirinha and it was so good! Thank you to everyone at Botteco Brazil in Shoreline, for a lovely experience. read more

Very good, it's not buffet style you order sides but it's still unlimited if u choose that. Meat is great

Great little Brazilian churrascaria in Seattle. The inside is tastefullly decorated. Very friendly staff. I had the full churrascaria experience and got any side I wanted plus unlimited meats. Everything was very good and especially the picanha was so perfect and juicy. Had a caipirinha also to drink, and it too was wonderful. Wife had the Rodizio with theee meats and sides, and also thought it was so very tasty. Highly recommended. read more

This is a really solid place for Brazilian steaks. We tried the sampler plate and although everything was pretty good, their flagship beef coulette was by far the best. It's a really well seasoned and perfectly cooked cut of beef and I would put it up with the best of any steak I've had. I got the crab and shrimp casserole thing which has a name in Portuguese that I can't pronounce. It was also incredibly rich and flavorful, and although it's priced at $55 it's enough to feed 2-3 people. Just be aware that because it's packed with seafood it has basically zero shelf life, so if you order this bring friends and try to clear it. Food is solid, professional service. Price range keeps it out of casual dinner territory but you get your money's worth and it's perfect for a date night. read more

Botteco Brazil - Shrimp casserole thing - Steakhouses Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

If I could give botteco more than 5 stars I absolutely would! I was completely blown away by how amazing this restaurant was in all aspects of food and service. My friend recommended this place to me, as she is Brazilian and from NY. She told me this has been the only place she's found in WA that she would vouche for that is authentic Brazilian food. So after waiting to try this place and after the holidays i was able to visit. The food was insaneeeee delicious. I mean... the fried chicken tasted like lechon and I could not stop eating it. The churrasco was incredible. Idk how they marinate that garlic steak thing but it was addicting. The beef was superb quality and the flavors were seriously out of this world. Me and my partner cleared the entire table haha One of the best parts of our meal was the wonderful server. She was sooo kind and energetic and you can just tell she gets excited for people to experience her culture and she was happy to have us. I appreciated her patience and how wonderful she was with explaining what every single item was and a short little story of how Brazilian people eat at home or the things they enjoy. I will absolutely come back here as much as I can! read more

Brazilian steakhouse in a pandemic? What is this...heaven? We got takeout on a Sunday evening. The server (owner's wife?) was so sweet and nice on the phone. We got the Brazilian steakhouse churrasco (combo with steak and bacon wrapped chicken.) A can of Guaraná (like Brazilian ginger ale). And of course the Brazilian national stew dish called Feijoada. You'll never find sausage as tender as the one they had in their Feijoada. The collard greens are so addictive, it's garlicky and a slightly bitter (expected of real collard greens that's not cooked to death like other places.) Overall we were very impressed. There's something in that garlic rice that I could just eat and eat until I explode! It's not dirt cheap but it also isn't incredibly expensive, especially compare to getting a plane ticket to your Brazilian grandma's house, you know? For $55 we stuffed full 3 grown adults. All in all, I'm glad it's not another burger joint in shoreline. This place is fun, food is delish, service was great. We will return to try some more things! read more

I was looking for a great place to grab a dinner to go and this place popped up. I saw that lots of my Yelp friends had great reviews so I placed the order. I have to say that the online ordering system is quite easy to use and it started the experience right. I walked in the door and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. I ordered a couple of the Churrascos and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The quality of meat was extremely tender and full of flavor, it was served with black beans, jasmine rice and and Brazilian potato salad. The quantity of food in each meal was more than most can eat. The pricing was extremely reasonable and it has made it onto my top restaurant list. If you are in the mood for a great Brazilian meal and craving a meat, I found your place. read more

If you have cravings for an authentic churrasco at a reasonable price, there is no better option than Botteco Brazil. Picanha (Brazilian Steak) is really tasty and cooked to perfection to your liking. It might sound silly, since it might be perceived as a simple dish, but the rice and beans are delicious! Overall a great quality meal with authentic flavors at a fraction of the price compared to other Brazilian steak places. You will not be disappointed on the quality and flavors. read more

Had date night dinner here and it was amazing! First off, the team that runs it makes you feel like family. I loved the rustic feel of the space with the colorful Brazilian prints on the walls. The food: incredible! We had the rodizio and each cut was tender and flavorful. The sides were robust and happily replenished. Drink prices were a bit steeper than normal, but they had a great selection of Brazilian cocktails on hand. Can't wait to return! read more

Wow! Wow wow wow wow! A VERY enthusiastic 5 stars from me! We got takeout from this fantastic Brazilian Restaurant tonight. I was craving Brazilian food tonight, so I searched yelp to find a Brazilian restaurant near us. Thank you, fellow yelpers, for encouraging me to go to this restaurant! Your 5 star reviews of this place are well deserved! I have a coconut/palm allergy (including coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut flesh, palm oil, palm hearts, etc). My 93-year-old Grandmother has the same allergy. We both end up with red dots on the skin of our faces and on select parts of the skin of our bodies for about a week if we eat anything containing coconut or palm. Not too harmful, but quite unsightly. Once in a blue moon, I will disregard my coconut allergy and eat something with coconut in it. This was the case tonight. I ordered the Moqueca, which is the Brazilian seafood stew. This fabulously flavorful stew was well worth disregarding my coconut allergy for. The skin-on fish and the shell-on shrimp (love that choice to leave the skin and the shell on both) melted in my mouth. I feel like it's very rare to find food that hits the spot as comfort food when it is something that I wasn't raised eating, but this stew is my new comfort food. (For tonight at least; I won't be able to eat it frequently due to my coconut allergy.) So thick and creamy and delicious! Plentiful amounts of onions (how did they get the texture of the onions to be so soft but not overdone? Skills!), a few other yummy vegetables, and a great variety of seafood. The flavors of the various items in the stew complimented each other beautifully. The ratio of broth to seafood and vegetables was also very well done. I don't like eating a stew or a soup and having a ton of broth left and nothing else left in the bowl. This did not happen here. I had something yummy and chewy to accompany the creamy broth in every single mouthful. I started my review the way I did (with lots of "Wow"s!) because I lost count of how many times I exclaimed "Wow!" while eating this stew. This does not happen often for me. Eating this stew was an absolutely blissful experience. I also ordered the Filé de Peito de Frango com cogumelos Salteados (the Chicken Filet with Sauteed Mushrooms). I hadn't been aware that this dish contained copious amounts of cooked broccoli, which I have a personal distaste for. The broccoli is not in the photo of this entree on the menu, nor is it in the menu description of this entree. However, it was easy to remove the broccoli spears and give them to my husband, who likes them. I feel like this one meal easily could have fed 2 or 3 people on its own. I couldn't even finish half of it, and I loved it almost as much as I loved the stew. My husband, Leo, ordered the Lamb Sirloin. He said it was very flavorful. I was planning on sharing the seafood stew with my husband, but I loved it too much, haha. This doesn't happen often either. One of the few other times that this happened with a stew was 16 1/2 years ago on our honeymoon, when I'd planned to share a lobster stew with him, but once I tasted it, I had to eat the entire bowl myself! I did order him another bowl of it in that instance! I asked Leo tonight if he wanted to share the Chicken Filet dish from Botteco with me, but he was enjoying his own entree and he didn't want any. This means that we have great lunches of leftovers for tomorrow, and maybe lunches for Saturday as well! Service was pleasant. The inside of the restaurant features lovely artwork and striking decor. The location is on the East side of Shoreline, so it's closer for us to drive to than a lot of places located in Shoreline would be. Parking was easy, we parked in the restaurant's parking lot which they share with the restaurant next door. A delightful addition to the local cuisine scene. I will be raving about this place to my family and friends. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. This was one of my favorite restaurant meals for the entire year of 2022. read more

Great food and a good concept. This food is best eaten as dine-in.

I ordered the Brazilian Churrasco Especial. The meat was hot and had a good flavor. The garlic jasmine rice was ok, but I could not taste any garlic. My French fries were stone cold! The menu claims this dish also comes with Brazilian style potato salad and farofa, but I did not get either of those. The waiter did not check on us until we were done eating. My wife got the Brazilian Stroganoff. The flavor was good and the portion was generous. The fries she got were ice cold as well. On the positive side, the restaurant seemed very clean and had hand sanitizer on most tables. The restaurant was nice and warm inside. read more
