Delicious food & great people. We had the meat pastel, picanha & casava fries & the churrascao. Everything was very tasty! I would recommend to anyone coming to Montreal.
The food was great, & the servers were very polite & helpful. Amazing culinary experience that tastes like real, authentic Brazilian food! Would recommend with my eyes closed.
Great Brazilian food. The Feijoada, famous Brazilian dish consisted mainly of beans stew with jerked pork & sausages is a must. The coxinha, served as a starters, a small delicacy fried & filled with shredded chicken is so flavorful that you cannot miss . Don't forget about the caipirinha drink & you'll have a wonderful Brazilian experience in Montreal.
We visited the restaurant this week, table of 7, 2 are either with celiac or avoid Gluten. The host was so nice, funny, & welcoming, he explained that 70% of the menu is Gluten free. He made sure to change the oil for the fries & took such good care of us we had an amazing evening. No side affects the day after so it means they really did a good job 👏. Thanks we will definitely be back

C'est un 10/10 pour moi. Il fait partit des top 3 de mes meilleurs restaurants à Montréal! Je suis haïtienne guyanaise, vous n'allez ps être dépaysé niveau goût, si vous avez l'habitude de manger créole. Le sauce pois, est super bon, même le riz blanc est bon, & du couac ! On a été servie part Bret, il est chaleureux & très joyeux, vous ne pouvez que passez un bon moment! & si vous parlez portugais, vous pouvez être servie en portugais du Brésil, français & anglais. Nous avons pris un pichet! Le cocktail était excellent !! J'adore ! Merci pour tout !
We were warmly welcomed by the restaurant's owner, Brett. We were very impressed with the excellent quality & abundance of the food. The waitstaff were top-notch, & the Brazilian music was very pleasant & at a suitable volume. I strongly recommend this restaurant, not only for Brazilians, but Canadians & visitors from all over the world.
