It's my first time going to Touro and I'm so happy that I did. We started with some appetizers like cheese and cornbread but the main attraction was the premium meats. You will be given an object to signal if you want servers to come to your table and serve the meats; I specifically love the picanha and sirloin. You can also eat in peace and rest in-between, just flip the sign telling the servers that you do not want more meat. Make sure you come in hungry because these meats will fill you up. Each slice is guaranteed to make your mouth water with their flavors and spices! Make sure to add some veggies with your meal! If you want a break from the meat, you can order their apps. I would recommend the mac&cheese, moqueca baiana (seafood stew like shrimp, clam and fish) & mushrooms. PS: Brunch items included on their buffet at Richmond Hill location (Sunday - Friday) and Vaughan location (only on Sunday) [Rates: Adult: $44.99 ; children 12 and under : $25] Don't forget the dessert. Highly recommend the lava cake! If you are celebrating your birthday, let them know and they'll prepare a sparkler for you! Dinner Rates: Monday - Thursday (adult) : $69.99 Monday - Thursday (Ages 7 - 12): $35.00 Monday - Thursday (Ages 4 - 6) : $17.00 Friday - Sunday (adult) : $74.99 Friday - Sunday (Ages 7 - 12): $35 Friday - Sunday (Ages 4 - 6) : $17.00 Holidays - $74.99 Overall, I feel like the price is on the higher side. read more

Came in on a Friday evening -- I was actually in a pretty good mood and decided to give this place a try. Was happy to get a same-day reservation, and we were seated right away without waiting. Unfortunately, the service was really disappointing. After sitting down, no one came to our table for nearly 10 minutes. Someone eventually dropped off water but didn't say anything -- no menu, no order taken, just walked off. We then waited another 15-20 minutes before anyone came back to check on us. The staff who finally approached did apologize for the wait. What made it worse was that other tables right beside us were being served and looked after the whole time. We were clearly overlooked, and it felt frustrating and unfair. For this kind of service at this price point, I really can't recommend this place. I won't be coming back. read more

Touro Brazilian Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Decided to host our holiday party of 25 people at Touro, it was highly recommended by colleagues. The place did not disappoint, it is very well laid out, great interiors and ambience. Staff were exceptionally friendly, courteous and with big smiles . Sheyam and his crew were excellent, provided a great experience and were quite helpful with the food choices. Upon hearing that a couple of guests love seafood, he brought out an appetizer, salad and sushi even though they were not part of our chosen dinner package !!! The appetizers were delicious, meat was prepared well and tasty !!! Drinks were on point and delectable desserts. It was a fantastic experience for all guests. read more

The server was pleasant and asked us how we liked our steak cooked. Initially I was excited since Copa Cabana doesn't ask this. We asked for rare to medium rare. Unfortunately, the meats were all medium well to well done so I'm not sure why we were asked. The lamb, bacon wrapped steak, garlic steak and spicy steak were so dry. For the price, it is disappointing to not get to enjoy the selection. Due to weather, there weren't many guests and I figured the cook would be to preference and handled better. read more

Great food if you're into Brazilian BBQ! My family and I came here to celebrate my sister's birthday and we were not disappointed. Our main server was very attentive and quick with getting us our drinks and apps. Once we got our apps out of the way, the meat servers were very quick in coming around with their skewers and getting different cuts on to our plates. My favourite meat was the flank steak but I tried a bit of everything and it was all delicious. We came on a Sunday evening so the place wasn't too packed which is how I usually like it. Great option in the area if you're sick of the Keg! read more

The atmosphere is OK, similar to the keg. The meat selection was limited, and over marinated to hide the fact the quality of the meat is not great with some pieces being half fat. The portions are tiny and were served medium rare to rare only. At one point ,they just stopped serving meat as to say that I have had enough and asked if I wanted desert. The total meat serving was about 6oz maximum. I guess the meal was done and I was having desert. I have been to Brazilian Steakhouse's in the past and this is NOT a Brazilian Steakhouse. I would not go back again and I would not recommend to anyone. read more

We were there for 2 hours and only had chicken legs, shrimp and a bacon wrapped steak come out. We complained twice (once at the 50 point mark and once at an hour and 20 minutes in. Both times we didnt get any other meat selection. Would not return to this establishment they should be ashamed to charge the price they charge for the selection they serve. read more

Local Brazilian steakhouse. We came here for family day lunch and overall service was great but food was rather monotoned. Not much variety of steak cuts of mainly tri-tip and rib cuts but meat really were under seasoned/ needed dry aging as only seasoning on outside. read more

As someone who can't eat beef, you'd think that this place would've left me hungry, but it didn't! I really enjoyed their barbecued chicken and all of their seafood dishes-- big fan of the shrimp and mussels. Between those, the salad, the breads, the pineapple, and the chocolate cake, I left happy! I'm only docking a star because the chicken people only came around once and because they didn't take our order for potatoes until everyone was in a meat coma, leaving us with two huge bowls of delicious mashed potatoes that nobody could finish. Meanwhile, the place was busy but very clean, it was easy to find parking, and the staff were super friendly. read more

Greater expectations.. I did some research & mapped out a gameplan as to how I was gonna attack it. I wanted to try all the meats before deciding on which meats I really wanted to dig deep on !! once it began.. it was complete shock and awe , it was just meats after meats after meats. but was it good ? To be honest, not everything was a home run. Let's start with the bad things first .. * I did not eat any of the chicken offerings : because why the heck would I bother eating chicken at a steakhouse ?? LOL .. however my table of guests did tell me the Moroccan chicken wasn't great as it was too dry but they told me the bacon wrapped chicken was really good. * also I was anticipating their signature picana to be better, it wasn't bad , but it wasn't mind blowing either. A little bit disappointed. * I was most let down by this amazing looking cheese steak with cheese punctured into it.. ultimately, it just didn't match the visual impact. I was hoping for it to have a nice complex flavor, but it was actually the total opposite. It was dry and tasted like.. yuck !! * the seafood in the salads and stand alone side dishes were definitely hit and miss.. some tasted really good and yet other things tasted a little mushy ( not the freshest ) but other seafood options which had a sauce didn't fare much better as it was too salty. However the mussels stand alone side dish had good flavor, but wished all of them had actually opened * the bread plates had a nice variety but were on the dry side , it might be nice if they had offered some spreads or maybe something simple like some BUTTER to help out a bit. * The meats were of decent quality but I found it to be quite heavy handed on the seasoning aka SALT and not so heavily handed on pepper and spice. but some meats were soooo good it didn't even require any of the sauces ( bbq or chimichurri ) You might wonder why I am giving this place 3 - 4 stars with all those things mentioned above.. but honestly there was some bright spots * the service is great , the waitresses are very accommodating and they will listen and get things done for you if you have any special meat requests. A man like me : knows what I want , so don't be BETA!! don't be scared to ask for directions LOL or for her number .. or in this case .. what kind of meat you want to eat because you haven't seen it come by !! BE ALPHA!! don't sit there and wait for it to happen: you make things happen & it will happen. Trust me ! Pro tip #1 you can ask for the type of meat you want to eat even if you don't see it & you can ask them if they can bring that type of meat more medium rare if that is to your liking!! * the best meats in my opinion : top sirloin , beef ribs , leg of lamb , garlic steak , sorry I wasn't able to take pictures of it , it was just simply too good to waste time ! * the one thing that never came to the table was pork ribs , I had to ask for it and when it came , it was doused in bbq sauce and FALL OFF THE FKn BONE !! God damn they were sooo good .. I ate nearly 2 full racks of ribs !! * the dessert menu is fairly reasonably priced and the visual aspects definitely match the flavor profiles. Super delicious * the restaurant is clean & bright and well kept, the servers are polite and attentive, and the meat cutters are just mindless meat zombies that keep it simple by asking you If you would like to try something they have to offer All in all , it's definitely not better than copacabana , the price point of nearly 70 bucks per person on a Friday is a bit hefty but still worth it if you are an avid meat eater. if they were able to balance out the seasoning of the meats a bit better in the kitchen and had better grill masters making sure the food wasnt overcooked ( steak & pork parmesan ), things wouldn't taste all the same but still overall it was a good experience. 3.5 stars from me read more

Let the meat sweats begin! This is a main go-to place for everything meat. I brought my staff here for a company Christmas dinner. One of them eats only meat, so it was a good fit. Let him hurt himself :-) We sparingly picked at the appetizer and "carb bar", wanting to save room for the meats. Even the side dishes that come as part of the meal gathered little interest. But when the gauchos began parading by with their meat laden swords, let the fun begin! As long as our little Go/No Go discs were green side up, they kept coming. The variety of meats was excellent. This is the perfect environment to sample and experience a wide array of choices. There was even a couple of chicken, lamb, and pork options. Almost as a dessert afterthought, grilled pineapple coated with cinnamon and brown sugar came by. Personally, I hate pineapple but I couldn't stop eating this. A great night! Now for the recovery... read more

Amazing experience for my son and I. Our waitress was fantastic! So knowledgeable about Brazil and the culture. The steak was absolutely delicious! The pineapple made for the best finish. read more

Touro Brazilian steakhouse have just opened their second location right within the Vaughan Mills complex. Starting with the location itself, the interior is quite nice, major demolition and renovations have taken place here compared to the previous restaurant that was here (Autostrada). The restaurant follows the original theme of their main location in Richmond Hill, but with smaller space, darker dimmed lights, no live trees, but cooler light fixtures! Service needs some work, I understand that it's a new beginning and there will be a lot of picking and choosing going forward probably, but the servers seem not to know much about drinks and/or some of the food items. Also, the steak servers kept messing up the names of the cuts they are serving, this happened quite few times. The appetizers' buffet is a must 'by default' at any good brazilian steakhouse, this restaurant surely has one but it's probably the worst I have seen across all brazilian restaurants i've been to, and I have been to ALOT around the world. It only has some ingredients to make your salad, no deli what so ever, no cheese selection, no rice, some veggies, beef stroganoff, and pasta, plus one lonely cold type of soup! As for their steak cuts, there was only about ten cuts total, with the absence of any prime cuts. For example, since there are only so many meats, They kept serving us pork sausage, literally about 8-10 times. There is some chicken items, no seafood items. The flavours are 'ok' and certainly don't come close to other big players in this league across the city, portions are generous, but don't really matter if they're missing flavours! read more

I learned a very important lesson... always trust yelp reviews over google. Google reviews were great but similar to yelp reviews, my experience was not so great. Service was standard, our server was really attentive in the beginning getting our drinks and explaining the process to us but kinda disappeared when we got to our meat course. The food was just not good - the shrimp in my salad was pasty and gross, sides were dry and bland and most of the steaks were tough, dry and some were too salty. Cutting through a thin slice of meat was like a work-out ... even when I asked for medium rare it was so difficult to cut and chew holy. My hubby got the morrocan chicken and had to pick off the super dry parts ..which was almost the entire thing!! The only good thing that we really enjoyed was the pineapple... and our drinks. Obviously I wasn't expecting much for a steak buffet but damn dude.... I wouldn't want to pay for this even if it was a $20 buffet LOL Definitely will be sticking to Copa Cabana... and just any other steakhouses ...... do not recommend. read more

My bf and I love Copacabana and we heard great things about Touro but even though this was AYCE steakhouse, we left hungry for steak. Steaks are overcooked and way too salty. They stuff you with bread, salad and 1 appetizer before serving you meats. Once the meat service begins, they are very sparse - probably came around 5 times in total before just never coming back to serve meats anymore. We had to flag down the server serving pineapple just for a piece of pineapple, and pineapple was never seen again. read more

I don't know how this place rates so low.... I've been to touro Vaughan and Richmond hill probably 40+ times and only 1/40 times I was disappointed and when I messaged them they immediately fixed it. This will forever be my go-to fav restaurant. My boyfriend and I love touro. Always amazing service as well and atomosphere. read more

Service was top notch! Very attentive but not too over bearing. Perfect balance. The food however was ok. It was overly salted. Not sure if that was a tactic to get you to overload on drinks instead but it works. For the amount of meat you are going for I rather do one of the Japanese bbq like Gyubee. read more

Incredible experience for dinner last Saturday! Excellent everything- food, environment, cleanliness, servers...esp Sheyam! Kids and us had a wonderful time! Love this place - the BEST vibe! read more

Having just opened, my wife and I have been wanting to try this considering we live nearby and pass it quite frequently. We recently got a $20 gift card in the mail and thought it was perfect since we wanted to try it out and we absolutely love Copacabana. We came here on a Friday around 7 PM. First impression when we walked in was that the interior looked very nice and grand. We were greeted and shown to our table immediately. Our server was very attentive and put in effort to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Absolutely 0 zero complaints with her service. On the other hand, there were a couple things that I wasn't quite impressed with. First off, the appetizers buffet was very lackluster and didn't have many options. The complete absense of meats and cheeses along a lack of other app-like options was quite disappointing. Perhaps adding some charcuterie options along with some more selection would go a long way. Another thing that we were both pretty upset with was with the steaks itself. They have about 12 meat options including lamb and some chicken options as well. We did see short ribs on the menu but unfortunately didn't get to try it. For some reason, nearly every single piece of meat we were given was cooked well done, sometimes even beyond that.. tasted like tough leftover microwaved steak. So overall, service and ambience/environment was great, if not good. The food just isn't up to par, especially for the price. read more

Service: 3/10, they must have ran out of meat... waiters stopped coming Price: 4/10, $90/ Food Quality: 8/10, good meat Food Quantity: 2/10, they gave super super small portions of apps and didnt give the the 4th (last) option of food Overall 2/5 Probably wont ever go back, waiter was nice though. read more

Ordered take out today, 4 separate meals came lumped together. Although the steak was great the portions of side were very sad. Plain white rice half a container and beans straight out of a can couldn't be more than a dollars worth combined. read more

Touro Brazilian Steakhouse in Vaughan is a complete disappointment. My fiancé took me here to celebrate my birthday after hearing about it from her friend. The moment we walked in, we had to write our names and phone numbers for covid tracing. Other restaurants takes down the information from one person from the group. Touro takes down every single person. Once we were seated, our waiter Kevin was really nice and asked if it was our first time here. We said yes and he explained the menu in detail. We have to order our choice of salad, what buffet items we wanted and our hot dishes. The meat will be coming around to different tables but they won't come to you until you finish your starter. Everything was going well until the hostess came to our table and said we have only 5mins left to eat. She wasn't even nice about it. She was just like "you have 5mins left." We were beyond shocked! Our hot dishes just came out and we had to finish it all right away?.. we also didn't even get half our meat dishes. We lost our appetite from that moment. We weren't even informed about a "reservation limit." We asked for a manager and she was useless.. not helpful at all and was being a bitch from the start.. sorry for my language but she was actually rude and doubting us. She kept apologizing but doesn't take any action. Our waiter was more helpful than her. What also pissed me off is the fact that the family beside us came here before us and weren't told about their limit. There were also people at the restaurant that we noticed were already here before us that were still eating when we left.. Most restaurants in this class has a dining limit. Touro has a reservation limit.. of 1hr and a half.. the timer starts at your reservation time. So if your reservation is at 6.. it starts at 6. So from the time you get seated, the waiter explaining the menu and waiting for the food.. that's already your time.. how is that fair? It's Suppose to start when you get your food.. I would understand if all the food are on your table and you're taking a long time.. then I get that we need to hurry up. But if the food is taking its time to come out, how is it our fault and how is it fair that it counts towards our time? The total time it took us to get seated, look at the menu, ordered our starter and drinks to getting our starter took 30mins. After our starter, the meat will be coming to our table. So we only get 1hr to try all the meat on the menu? Impossible for this kind of "all you can eat" dining. The food.. most of the meat came out well done and were rough dry. Out of all the meat I would say 2 of them were delicious. The same 5 meat kept going around so we were waiting for more meat that we didn't get yet. We were then told that we need to request the meat we didn't get so they can give it to us.. they should've told us that from the start instead of us waiting.. which took up so much time. Will not be returning. Birthday ruined. Go to Copacabana or Brasa (in Niagara) instead. read more

We came here for the Sunday brunch service earlier this month. The service and the food were excellent despite the pandemic. All the staff members were very professional, kind and accommodating, the ambiance was gorgeous and the food tasted great. The restaurant was quite full at the time of our visit, but the meats still kept coming at a good pace. I would definitely recommend visiting during brunch as there are many great side dishes to choose from (i.e. mac n cheese and the blueberry brie grilled cheese). Will be coming back in the near future! read more

Touro Brazilian Steakhouse - Bacon, mac n cheese, grilled cheese and picanha - Steakhouses Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

High expectations, very disappointed. Just at arrival, we were "informed" (rather instructed) that we had 90 mins to eat. Reservations were for 2, and we were placed in a table for 6 in front of the kitchen, saying the restaurant was "fully booked". We demanded to see the manager, she was completely unaware of the fact that reservation was for 2 people (she thought we were 6), apologized and moved us to another table. The waitress forgot the 8 options to choose 3, and the paella was AWFUL! read more

Never order Uber Eats or takeout from this restaurant!!!! The portions are tiny. I ordered a mixed grill for 6 $160 and it was a barely enough for 2 people. The meat was tough dry and the pieces where tiny. The ribs looked like they where off a squirrel. On top of that Uber Eats driver made an extra stop along the way. My meal cane 49min. Late. My bill was $187 and Uber thought Zi would like .99 cents discount for making an extra stop. Worse experience ever on Uber Eats. This restaurant should not be allowed on Uber Eats. False advertising, poor quality food, small portions stay away from this place!!! read more

My family of five went there last Friday for my son's birthday. What a major disappointed. Meats were dry like cowhide and flavourless. Miserable appetizer buffet. Paid $4oo for the five of us and no drinks except for 2 bottles of water as the option were clear... glass bottle or TAP water! I should have gone to the Copacabana instead! read more

I live in the Vaughan area and I've been going to the Richmond Hill location of Touro for many years. As much as I love the food at Touro, I find the Richmond Hill location so noisy and hard to have a conversation in. When Touro in Vaughan opened, we were so thrilled. The location is smaller and much more cozy and accessible feeling. AND, the restaurant is well constructed with acoustic tiles everywhere, that it's much quieter and more pleasant to have conversations in. Secondly, the food is delicious and the meat tender and flavourful. Thirdly, we had Nancy as our server and she was incredible. So kind and friendly. When I couldn't find the fried bananas, I asked her if she could ask the kitchen to make me some- and she winked and said she would try. And not even 5 minutes later, steaming beautiful fried bananas were on the table! Wow! By the end of the night, my husband and I felt that we had made a new friend in Nancy. So easy to chat with and so pleasant. We can't say enough about her. And the manager, Zaila is another gem. We also enjoyed chatting with her. Best of all, the restaurant has plenty of parking and is only 5 minutes away from our home. This place is a treat to visit. Enjoy! read more
