My wife and I had lunch with a few friends at Oliver during the Sabor Brasil festival. The menu has…read morea good range of flavours and prices. We had codfish with hommus and a shrimp risotto with strawberries. The place was spacious and quiet (at least on a weekday). The service was great and the food was delicious.

A hidden gem!

The restaurant is located in a residential area and is just behind a residential house, if you're not familiar you could easily miss it. The entrance at the right hand side of the house took us to a spacious semi open dining area in the back of the house. The menu offers Northeastern cuisine including various interesting juice beverage from 'exotic' fruits; the service was swift and the food is great. I can't spell the name of the dishes but it was grilled breast chicken, ribs, and something with delicious 'gravy'. Excellent and affordable. I will definitely go back here again

Parking is ample, and it seems that despite the leisurely air of this Setor das Clubes, where the residents of Brasilia come to unwind, you're bound to find yourself in the middle of something popping here. There are several varieties of each type of dish, for example, you can get rice with chicken or carne de sol (sun-dried beef) or even whole grain if you're health-conscious. There are plenty of tempting seafood offering, surprising for the interior, but I prefer to stick to the staples: rice, beans, meat with legs. I especially enjoyed the eggplant and the caramelized pineapple, as well as the tender leg of lamb prepared with rosemary. I can't say I was amazed by a risotto-like mixture that was featured. I was impressed by the novel system of recording the weight of your buffet choices on magnetic cards, rather than on paper tabs. The patio area outside is a bit fresher and less crowded (with hammocks!) than the tabled inside area, and eating outside is a possibility once you've registered your plate in the buffet area. Also, unlimited free bananas at your table could never be a bad thing. If I were awarding stars just for the quality and value of the food, I'd be inclined to go with 3, some of my choices just didn't overwhelm me with flavor and freshness. I do understand how quality can sometimes suffer in a place that serves the masses such as Mangai, nor did I regret anything I put on my plate. However, the super casual, convenient atmosphere, the large selection, which is sure to provide you with at least one satisfying choice, and the incredible desserts make this chill spot one worth returning to.

Like any Brazilian steakhouse the Potencia Grill is right up there with the best. The salad bar was…read moreextensive with even sashimi and sushi appetizers. Though you don't come to a steakhouse to eat salad! You get the typical red/green marker turn over. Meat comes even when the red side is up so you get to say "no" quite a bit. The variety of lamb, beef, pork, sausage and even chicken hearts is endless. At one point I had to say "no" because I had meat on my plate and I didn't need more before I finished. The spices they use as rubs are unbelievable and the garlic meats are a garlic lovers dream. Maybe not your companions friends but who cares! They had some delicious looking dessert which I did not try because I was full. I also didn't try any of the side dishes that came around to the table by the non-meat waiters. I stole a french fry from my coworker and it was crispy but not to my North American taste but you can see why people would like it. Everything said and done it came out to 115R per person in our 5 person group just soda and no alcohol for lunch. Another nice thing is the drive takes you out of town and along the lake so the drive is nice and scenic. Worth going to just to get out of the hustle and bustle of Brasilia city even if only for an hour it was nice to get out.

The service of meats is constant and many times I had to say no because I had a plate full of meat. The lamb was out of this world and I should have got more because I did not see it again while we were there. The salad bar and sides station are also great with many choices of sushi, salads, cheese, and cold cuts. The staff was there at every corner to get you a plate for return trips to the salad bar or clean your dirty plates from the table. The atmosphere was very calm and you could definitely have a great conversation without interference. We didn't get desserts but I saw the others in the restaurant and it made me want to try it next time. The presentation of the desserts were amazing. We finally ended the meal with a digestive limoncello type of alcohol that was a block of ice with a spout. We had alcohol, salad bar and meat. We managed to pay about R$140 or US dollars $38per person
