Each dish that you order comes just with the meat. You need to order rice, vegetables or potatoes as a side dish. The meat is cooked really well and the seasoned nicely. They have wagyu beef on the menu which goes for about R$160. Unfortunately, they didn't have any while I was eating there. They do have blood sausage and this is the same type that they serve in Fogo de Chao in Sao Paulo. So it's really good. The prices for each beef are pretty expensive and range from R$78 - 100. Overall, I had a good experience here. I wasn't sure I would come back but after eating the blood sausage, I will most likely be returning.

Service is actually good and the speed that the food comes to your table is also fast for Brazil. The only gripe that I have is that there is a large appetizer area in the middle. I thought I could choose what I want and then weigh it and then eat it. This is not the case here. The waiters actually give you a bit of everything at a fixed price. I wanted to eat about 50% of the items that they had shown and had to specify which things I wanted to eat. They then brought over too much appetizers. The next time I come back, I won't get the appetizers and just skip to the pizza or pasta.

We were able to get a table for two without reservations, but it's probably safer to get a…read morereservation. Pretty awesome tasting menu. The plates are all creative and interesting. Many of the plates are custom made for Manu, and it really helped elevate the dishes. They brought out all the finger foods, one after the other. It was a little distracting to get a few plates, hear the explanation, and then get a few more plates while in the middle of taking a bite. They should bring a few plates of finger foods and wait until they're done before bringing the next round. Few dishes were mind-blowing, so I think they would benefit greatly by reducing the size of the tasting menu, and increasing the complexity of the dishes. They let us take the Tasting Menu home which is always a plus.

Great Food. Pricey. Some dishes definitely at Michelin star level. 3 menu choices made for the…read moretable. Unique ingredients and variety of cooking techniques. Separately few dishes were quite spectacular, such as tucupi soup, excellent skirt stake or dessert frozen yoghurt with tomato and grape. All together however it felt like the meal didn't have a flow. It was quite a ride, but it got bumpy now and there. Some dishes just didn't fit their place exactly. One big mistake was serving coffee (after meal that included amazing dessert) with whole lot of candy. As much as I love sweets and also the cute way they were served, each in its own drawer, it was just too much of sweet that killed sensations of the dinner very quickly. Also, some serving plates were not very well matched with their dishes. For example it was very hard to eat the long beef tongue slices from the 'volcano' plate. Steak tartar would be easier there. Very nice touch was to receive a little gift with pastries for the next mornings breakfast- super sweet! You can see chefs working on your dishes, but only their hands are visible- I don't know why, but I liked it. Made the wait more exciting. Few minuses that the owner might want to look into preparing for Michelin commission: Decor and music could be chosen with better taste- less is more. Girls toilet had ugly leak on the wall. Friendly stuff, but only one out of 3 waiters spoke english. Would be really hard without having at least one person speaking portuguese. It's a shame, as I suppose this place has many international guests. Extra pay for valet parking- we would have leave a tip, but the guy smelling very strongly of cologne made it clear that fee was not voluntary...

They have cookie shots, which is espresso served in a cookie. It's innovation and interesting, but…read morethey really need to preheat the cookie. It would be better if it was warm and gooey instead of hard as a rock. Their standard cookies are served cold as well Opens super late. I asked if they could put espresso in the cookie shake and they said no. So I did it myself... Wifi password: FIQUEAVONTADE

Best restaurant in Curtibia - they serve Japanese food with a Peruvian twist. Beautiful atmosphere…read more Awesome cocktails - the Nou and the Pisco Passion were my two personal favorites. I highly recommend the ceviche and nigiri samplers. I wish they had the omakase, many items on the menu were no longer available. Next time I go, I want to try some of the scallop dishes which looked pretty interesting. It's better to arrive early, once it gets packed the food can take a very long time. Only complaints: Wifi didn't work. It seemed like they seared nigiri with a blowtorch which gave a slightly gassy flavor. Dessert took a very long time to arrive, but they remediated the situation.

We came over here to try out this new place and also to check out another CWBurger festival…read moreparticipating restaurant. The restaurant was clearly inspired on the burger joint "The Counter" from the US. It has several options on the menu (including a Veggie burger named Mumbai lol) and you can also build your own burger. You can go as large as 450g (15 oz) !!!! God bless you if you can handle that much! The place is cozy, simple but has a very nice and friendly service. They have a private parking lot right behind it. It is very close to several bars which makes a perfect spot for a meal before a party or a get together. It is cozy enough to bring your date and doesn't seem to be too kid friendly, but I wouldn't see a problem in bringing them as well. The food tasted really good. We had a special burger for the event that had a pepper bun (which was red) and a chorizo beef patty with fig spread, apple slices. Really good! For dessert we had the chocolate fondue and despite the small portion of fruit it was really good! Small but good selection of drinks / beer. Will return for more burgers and Curitiba is slowly settling is as the burger capital of Brazil!

So far its the best buffet/steakhouse I've been to in the area. The restaurant itself is spacious…read moreand can accommodate big parties if needed. It's really hard to keep up with all the meat coming around but my suggestion is if you want to try everything, get a piece of meat and share it with your friends or ask for a smaller piece or else it's impossible to taste everything. The sushi spread is amazing. I've been to other buffets in the area that have sushi but it does not taste as fresh as Batel Grill. The drinks are really good as well, can't go wrong with a caipirinha or a juice. I love places like this as the options and variety here is very accommodating to anyone you can imagine. I only wish rodizios in the US were the same. Salad bar has many options, mmmmm palmito!! :) I recommend getting here early as it does get really packed. It appears to be smaller than Jardin's and not as nice in terms of overall ambiance but I will pick Batel Grill any day. Service was good and attentive, no complaints. Highly recommend this place!
