I don't know where to start. I suppose with the bad stuff which is the MOST I have ever experienced at a restaurant. We wanted to go to a churrascaria, which we've been to many times & know exactly what to expect. This place is AT BEST a wannabe churrascaria, run by, what I think are Arabs instead as I did not see a Portuguese person working there. Full disclosure, for the price, on their website listed as $60/per person, but in reality, they charge $65/per person, FYI, I am comparing them with Texas du Brazil which, depending on location, is still one of the best I've experienced. The BAD stuff: it started with my question, where is the buffet for the sides, as advertised on their website, answered, "We do not have a buffet as we don't have space. We bring you as many sides as you need so we don't waste them." Their sides ONLY included rice, mashed potatoes, iceberg salad, red beet, french & sweet fries, that's it! Now to the "meats". When I asked, I was told there were 14 kinds, in reality, they served at most 8 & all low grade, definitely NOT worth $65. $30 at best!!! I wouldn't recommend this place to my mother-in-law, who was with us, incidentally. You do get full here, don't get me wrong, but it's not worth the $65 & you're not eating any quality meats, maybe 1 or 2 of the 8 kinds/types. There are no women servers or workers, ONLY Arab men. The place felt like conmen ran it. The servers, with a couple of exceptions, looked very criminal. The non-alcoholic drinks were $8 (expensive?), & a pint of beer was $10. You judge. Now to the "dance show". The two samba/Brazilian dancers came close when we got there, maybe around 830, the music started blaring, they started dancing, so-so, nothing wow, I've seen samba dancers a few times, got people to dance, it all lasted half an hour & they left!!! I have been to restaurants where they advertise "live music", "live shows", usually the show goes for a while, half an hour or so, then they take a break, then they come again & so on ALL NIGHT!!! NOT here. They're also probably "trying to save money" on that experience. SO!!! I wouldn't go here for the meats, I wouldn't go here for the show. Although we sat inside, the patio outside looked nice. I would maybe JUST go to get drinks outside, although you can probably find much better & nicer places in Montreal. THE GOOD STUFF: NOTHING!
The service was actually impressive. We ate well. They don't try to skimp on food it really is all you can eat & for the price I do find that it's worth it. On top of it they have dancers as of about 9 pm; the atmosphere is truly unique compared to other restaurants. The food was great, well cooked, the drinks were also amazing. You were not rushed to leave your table after a certain time & there was even a mini party afterwards with dancing. What more could you ask for? Best place I've been to in a while...
