Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the **picanha**, which is praised for its tender and flavorful presentation. Many highlight its pairing with cold beer, making it a top pick for dinner. The **coxinha** is another fan favorite, often described as crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, showcasing the depth of Brazilian flavors.
The **cocktails** also steal the show; the **pina colada** and **double gin lemonade** receive accolades for being both refreshing and potent. Furthermore, the friendly service provided by helpful staff members, particularly during busy hours, adds to the fantastic experience. People appreciate the cozy vibe of the outdoor garden space, especially during sunsets, which further enhances the dining experience.
Most Disliked
Some patrons mention that busy weekend evenings may lead to longer wait times, especially around **7 PM to 9 PM** when the bar hits **100% capacity**. This can disrupt the flow for diners eager to enjoy their meals and drinks without delay. Additionally, the lunch rush can be a bit hectic, with certain times like **Tuesdays at noon** marking the peak popularity for crowds.
A few reviews mention the limited vegetarian options on the main menu, which could be an obstacle for plant-based eaters wishing to explore Brazilian cuisine. There's always room for growth, especially in catering to diverse diets, which keeps the vibe inclusive and welcoming to all.

We had an amazing experience! The picanha was cooked perfectly, tender and full of flavour, served generously over fries with fresh spring onions. The sides were delicious and complemented the dish really well. The beer was ice cold and paired beautifully with the meal. Overall, fantastic food and a brilliant atmosphere. we’ll definitely be coming back!

OMG, you HAVE to check out this Brazilian place! Seriously, is a total hidden gem. I started with the coxinha, and it was mind-blowing—crispy on the outside, creamy chicken filling that just melts in your mouth. Then, I had their double gin lemonade. It was the perfect mix of sweet and tangy, with a serious kick! The atmosphere was super chill, and the staff especially Clara were so friendly. It felt like I spend my day with close friends. I can't wait to go back!
