We had a lovely meal here. We have had Brazilian barbecue at several places in California and Texas but the meat here was far superior. The meats were perfectly seasoned and not overly salted. The manager, Daiana, was so sweet and made us feel welcomed. We are gluten free and she went out of her way to let us know what was safe for us to eat. She checked in on us multiple times to make sure all was going well. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice with a good vibe. Even though there were quite a few people there the restaurant wasn't loud and we were able to talk easily. It was chilly outside but they had heaters going to keep it nice and warm inside. The only things I would recommend are a salad bar with veggies and cheeses and a sign to let the meat servers know when we need a break. It's hard to say no to all the delicious meats they were bringing to our table but it was hard to keep up. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Just the word 'Brazilian' conjures up a mosaic of exotic images and sounds - tall and tanned and young and lovely....the girl from Ipanima goes walking... and as she passes each one she passes goes ahhhh.... yes the most famous of all Brazilian pop song pops into my mind at the mere mention of the word Brazilian. This is a serious meat-eaters' heaven. It's very male here at Bah-Bq. And as a gal that's quite all right, especially if the men are all suave and eager to please. And please they do! Handsome Brazilian waiters tempting all the diners as they walk by. Bring your appetite here if you want to get the 'all you can eat meat bonanza' called Churrasco $49 per person. Rarely do we go over our $30 per plate usual limit. But we've had a good week so it was a bit of a treat. And when it's time for a splurge this is the place to do it. The atmosphere is modern rustic - with rope room dividers and chic orange hanging lights with groovy timbered features - love the little lounge area where you can enjoy a drink and a chat before the feasting begins. Reminds me of the old days when dining out was a real treat and you'd always have a drink at the bar or the lounge area. That builds the anticipation and heightens the mood for food for sure. It's romantic too. (TIP: guys this could be the place to win points in the romance stakes!). The night we were there (Easter Sunday) there was live music. The host said Friday nights is when they have live music - this was a special treat just for us. I've never heard 'Girl From Ipanema' sang in Brazilian before tonite and enjoyed this exotic version with guitar and djembe percussion. One thing I don't usually comment on are the table settings - I don't mind timber, or laminex or linen - but I have to mention this - the table settings were immaculate - the tables themselves were a deep dark polished timber, gleaming like a mirror. So spectacularly clean. We chose this place cos our friend Scott LOVES meat. Him and meat go way back - in fact his first job was working in the Wellington Abattoirs out near Dubbo. It turns out this meat destination decision was perfect. Once giving the waiter the green light to the Churrasco for three all we needed to do was sit back and let the magic begin. And we didn't have to wait long. First the sides arrived (assorted hot breads including to-die-for cheese bread, polenta, some kind of banana something - it was lovely anyway; thick cut potato chips; potato salad; rice and flaked almonds; a stew of black beans; green salad) and sauces (hmmm the chilli and molassas-like sauce is amazing!) and home made fresh salsas arrived. Then came the procession of 'straight-off-the-barbecue' meats on massive steel rods (some looked like swords) led by pork sausages which were so yummy! Next up was the gorgeous barbecued haloumi cheese. (If you're vegetarian then you may want to stop reading here). Next came some cooked to perfection juicy medium rare rump steak which when sliced right before our eyes by the waiter showed off a gorgeous red-bronzed centre; after that came some oh-so-succulent lamb, two types of chicken, prawns, honey glazed pork, more lamb this time pesto chunks. Then more, more and even more fresh barbecued meat was offered - some arriving on swords while other offerings displayed like crown jewels - set in little platters. We accepted these delicious offerings until we could fit in no more - well apart from the barbecued fresh banana and spicy pineapple which we could fit into our 'dessert tummies'. Our party of four agreed this was a wonderful feast and great value. So happy that a Brazilian BBQ restaurant like Bah-bq is in Crows Nest cos the other closest Brazillian BBQ places were either Norton Street Leichhardt or Taylor Square Darlinghurst. This is just a short hop skip and jump for us. I'm definitely jumping at the chance of going back to Bah-bq again and hopefully it won't be too long. read more

Very rare from me. 5/5. The food and service and above supreme. Hidden to the side, Bah!BQ is not a embarrassment. Been to a few brazilian restaurants and this is by far the best. Soon as you walk in, you are greeted. Seated or wait at the cocktail lounge, its the smell of the Iron Bark that satisfied my senses. Smelled like some real cooking is done. Not too loud (which I was afraid of) and everyone happy so I was when seated and drinks instantly. Cocktails and wine are first by recommendation. The service was all smiles are cute ;) The Churrasco was too recommended (almost pushy) but wanted a specific dish that isn't too common and challenge the staff. On par to perfection in cooked and textures. They know what they do. This flows onto dessert too. FULL of flavours that hit all the missing spots that dinner had voided. Price? Totally acceptable! Will come back again and again. Improvements... majority is the online menu. Needs to be kept up to date. It is great enough to be apart of a 5 star hotel or classed as fine dining even tho it's not even trying. Brilliant! read more

Bahbq - Half rib.....a mission! - Seafood Near Me - Crows Nest, NSW

Abso-freakin-love this place! Can't quite believe it's situated in Cros Nest to be honest, as you get the feeling Bah!BQ would be at home seeded in any 5 star hotel, or hidden away in an alley in Melbourne. The staff seriously could not be more helpful, led energetically by the fabulous Jose. For an "all you can eat" style restaurant, they certainly have the quality and class to make you feel a little less pig-like for the crimes against your insides that will be committed here time and time again once you've got the bug. Churrasco seems to do so much; it removes any menu anxiety for the indecisive eater, and allows for a small, palatable taste of a huge range of different meats, cuts and glazes. Always, ALWAYS be sure to save room for the Churros. They do a mean cocktail too. ;) read more

Last night I ate my body weight in delicious meat. It came at such an incredible pace, but I was never rushed ("let me know if you'd like me to slow down" said the Meat Bringer). There were so many sauces to chose from with each bite, I was in meaty dippy heaven. Each sauce and side had been enthusiastically explained upon delivery, and the delightful MB was eager to suggest which sauce I should try with each piece of meat he placed in front of me (and which meats I should be sure to try without any sauce). When I was ready to throw in my napkin, I told my new favourite person that unless he thought there was something delicious I hadn't had, I would have to admit defeat. MB stared thoughtfully at the ceiling for a moment before smiling, "I think there's just the garlic prawns. We've covered everything else". So I waited a few minutes while he requested the kitchen prep a skewer of garlicky goodness just for me (although I did see him offer the skewers to other tables after). Before Bah!BQ, my churassco experience had been dismal at best. Bah!BQ is everything I had wished churassco was, and more. Meat, done extremely well. Servers that actually care and aren't just trying to rush you in and out the door for maximum profit. Delicious Brazilian beer and a short but well thought out wine list. We settled on an Argentinian Malbec after our first round of beer. They were also offering a NZ Pinot Noir as their wine of the month for only $8/glass, which pretty much equates to alcoholic robbery in my books. read more

Ah, a new local meat establishment! My fav! and just around the road as well... So far only one visit, prompted by a pretty lady standing outside giving away flyers to passers by and cars - enterprising! Caught me! We turned up without a booking in the first week of being open - and they were pumping! As with all churrasco establishments a set price menu with a choice of many tapas style sides. As she did not want the kilo of meat I was looking forward to, we managed to negotiate an exception to the all-must-go-set-menu rule. The meats were as expected, plentiful and delicious, although some were a little on the salty side for me. But the range was good, included seafood, and portions were generous of course. The sides were also good, with a couple that were unfamiliar to me but very nice. The staff were really helpful, with a guy who I think was the owner in particular being solicitous at all times in an effort to make a good impression - and it worked!! PLus he made a great recommendation from their mainly south american wine list. The noise level was a bit high, with the polished floors and brick walls bouncing it around, but it was OK. We will be back for a second crack at it. read more

So you'll notice this is my second review here which is unusual for me but let me explain. We were so smitten by this place last time, the mates we dined with chose to have a birthday dinner here. Now, any level headed human being would think this can only end well and everyone will skip off into the sunset. And that would've been the case had I not have watched Vegucated the night before. For those not familiar with the doco, you can read more here: http://www.getvegucated.com/ basically, it's all about living a vegan lifestyle and the in humane treatment of animals. So I clearly didn't order the all you can eat meat feast (unlike the other 9 guests) instead, I had the risotto and a salad. My meal came out at the same time as everyone else was being served their meat and my risotto was delicious! It's one of several vegan options on the menu including a few salads that can easily be made vegan. I bet you're sitting on the edge of your seat wondering why I only gave it 4 stars this time, aren't you? Well, I'll put you out of your misery and tell you. It's the skewered meat thing. As a vegan, having giant skewers of meat plonked next to you then carved for someone else's enjoyment is slightly off putting but certainly no reflection on the venue. read more

This is a great addition to the Crows Nest restaurant list, if you like meat that is! On arrival the place was almost full, yet they were able to seat our group of 6, in under 5 minutes. Not bad for a Thursday night at 8pm. Looking through the menu, it was difficult to decide so we chose the Churrasco! For $42pp, it's not cheap, however you won't go home hungry! The staff and their service was great! The food was also delicious, with a selection of meats, salads and condiments. I can't wait to go back! read more

This place was sooooo amazing!! Just finished a great birthday dinner for my boyfriend here and the food was exceptional! All the meat was cooked perfectly and also very generous portions. Thank you so much for the fantastic experience!!! Oh and the cheese bread and fried banana read more

So I met up with a buddy for our monthly or so catchup and hanging out. He decided on this place, and I went along happily. When we walked in the wait staff quickly grabbed our umbrellas and put them away, a very nice move on their end. From there we were seated and started to flip through the menu. My eyes went first to the churrasco all you can eat meat orgy. I read it and it sounded very nice. The only complaint of mine was for meats they had 'a selection of meat'. I want to know what are the meats, the cuts, how they are prepared... basically everything I can. I kept looking through the menu and then landed on the meat section. They had three different steaks, some ribs, and so forth. I asked the waiter about the ribs. Are they beef or pork? If pork are they baby back (loin or back ribs) or spare ribs. This was a big deal to me as I love my back ribs but I am not too crazy for spare ribs as they are too fatty the bone/meat/fat ratio is not to my liking. They could not answer either question. I asked if he tried the ribs, and he said no. So as neither of us wanted to kill ourselves with eating a couple kilos of meat, we went for some Rib Eyes. Both were ordered medium rare. As we were waiting for the food, we looked at the drink menu. Both went with a glass of wine to go with the steak. I was happy with my shiraz and I am pretty sure my buddy enjoyed his malbec. The only issue with the wine menu was only two reds were sold by the glass, most drinks had to go by a full bottle. So the steaks come out. The waiter tells us that one steak is much larger than the other and you will have to fight over it. WTF? If two people order the same meal, try and give the same size steaks. I understand that when you say 350 grams that is a minimum size, but seriously somewhat the same size is better. Or better yet just serve the steaks and keep the comments to yourself. So the steaks were served with scalloped potatoes and a small amount of spinach. There was an amazing sauce all over the steak and on the plate. The flavour was as good as it gets. However, the steak was a little dry. They cooked the steaks medium well. Both of us ordered medium rare, and I noticed that they wrote it down properly. I would not expect this mistake from a steak/meat place. The fact that the sauce was so good made up for them not knowing how to use a grill properly. Oh so while we were there it was also entertaining watching the churrasco servers screwing everything up. They dropped a sausage on this girls lap, they dropped a whole skewer of sausages on the ground, and there were a few pieces of the garlic steak that fell on the ground as well. I know they will get better as they stay open longer, but perhaps they need a little more training. With the few negatives I mentioned above, I will still be coming back in a little (when the cooks have more practice cooking to a medium rare) to give another try.... after all the food was still good even though they were not bringing their top game. read more

This is quite possibly the best Brazilian BBQ in Sydney. The food is impeccable, the service is great. Entrees/sides are brought to the table before you commence 'the feeding frenzy'. The only thing I could possibly fault them on is perhaps not putting enough of each item on your plate when they come around. You can just awkwardly ask them for more (although this always makes me feel a bit piggish). All in all this place is great. A little pricey but great value for money. read more

I loved this place! we went there for a work dinner. You have the option of a main meal or all you can eat meat. I had in my head worries of the scene from "Bridesmaids" and was a bit hesitant of multiple meat selections coming out on sticks that they serve to your table. Well I am glad I was adventurous that day because it really paid off! Such great food!! Chorizo, Garlic Prawns and beautifully cooked beef and more! I crave their Garlic Prawns and before that day I hated sea food! Really craving them now and ever since I went! Great staff who weren't afraid to joke around with us and new which were our fav's to bring around and offer us again. Joking I'll be back in a second with some more Chorizo and then insisting we try the Pineapple-which was every bit what they said! Will definitely be going here again! Only reason it is 4/5 stars is because it is a tiny bit more pricey then preferred but completely understandable and I eat a lot!! read more

Have you ever been in a dream that youve not wanted to wake up from. Wishing you could sleep forever... well bahbq is that dream and waking up is getting full. I wish I could eat more. The only fault with this restaurant is my own faults as a man. I wish I was blessed with the ability to eat more. The staff are just delightful and always give us free churros to end or meal. Just an amazing place. Would give it more stars I'd I could. read more

Bahbq - I dream of this meat every single nigjt - Seafood Near Me - Crows Nest, NSW

I am Brazilian and have been to all Brazilian restaurants in Sydney and confess that by far this is the best Brazilian restaurant in town. The quality of the meat and the professionalism of the staff make the night a true Brazilian experience. The decoration is amazing with a cool canvas of the Opera House painted in a Brazilian Style at the entrance. I highly recommend this place if you really want to feel what a high quality Brazilian restaurant can offer. read more

Excellent food, meats cooked to perfection and the wait staff couldn't be better. One of the best meals out I've had in a very long time. Everything here is on point. The tri tip and chorizo were stand outs. We left completely stuffed! read more

ALL YOU CAN EAT / BIG EATS - Lowdown: We came to this place for one reason and one reason only... CHURRASCO! No menu required, just an ongoing bombardment of various spit roasted meats, which are prepared with "dry rub seasonings, fine herbs, brines, marinades and glazes". This is the type of place you go to, where the meat is soo tender, so lovingly prepared, that no sauces or extras are required. The meat varies from beef (rib, flank, rump cap, tri tip), lamb (rump, ribs), pork (sausage, belly, chorizo), and chicken (wing, thigh, heart... yes heart). My personal favourite was the rump cap! But everyone knows a delicious meal requires the satisfaction of the sweet tooth... Sweet tooth, meet caramelised grilled pineapple - maybe the BahBQ team can confirm, but it tastes as though the pineapple has been pampered with cinnamon and given a lil brown sugar. The result is a mouth watering fruit which has you begging for more... even though you feel like you have eaten your own weight in food... - Pro tip: Don't fill up on the salad, or polenta sticks, or fried banana... Have a bit, stay hungry, and enjoy what is heading your way. Don't be afraid to ask for double or triple serves each time something comes your way. No matter how full you believe you are, make sure you have a slice (or 10) of the BBQ'd pineapple. - Cost: $59pp read more

We went to Bah BQ in Crows Nest last night for the first time and we really loved it. It is a nice clean restaurant with a nice ambiance. We chose the all you can eat BBQ and they brought the food around every few minutes. It was really delicious. The only negative I can think of is that we all over ate!! Having been to a similar place near Kings Cross, we can say the service was so much better here. They were so attentive and really wanted us to have a great time. Definitely plan on returning!! read more

This is a good a food as you get in Sydney! Great to share with a group. Great food, great wine, great staff.

Everything on the menu was amazing and cooked to perfection. I had ordered the Churrasco which came with meats ranging from lamb to chickens hearts. All of their meats were very smoky and full of spices. The extras (seafood, pineapple and haloumi) were the best I had ever tasted. If this restaurant is in your price range I definitely recommend you try it. read more

Been many times and this place never fails us. Staff are all warm and wonderful and manager. Jose is a class act. Leave room in the belly for churros! read more

Great food.. Especially for a meat-ta-tarian... Great service also.. So definitely will be back. read more

Dinner last night was awesome brazilian meaty heaven. As a search around our hotel found this restaurant for a night out with our little one. The staff were amazing and helpful and the food well all i can say is a day after and i still think that I have a meat coma. Delicious, tender and worth the money, i would recommend this place to anyone as hands down best brazilian meal i have had. read more

Awesome feed for the meat-lovers out there! It's all you can eat BBQ grill, along with a variety of sides, and there's no way you can leave hungry. Add in a bottle of South American red wine (decently priced), and you've got a wonderfully relaxing evening ahead of you, with nothing more taxing than deciding yay or nay to the next offering to come around. Make sure you're hungry when you go - there's a flat price, unless you decide to order off the a la carte menu (and I don't know who would??) read more

Unassuming from the outside tucked away in a little corner in Crows nest this place was a great find. I had been searching for a long long time to find a good Brazilian bbq place which knew what it was doing and this one hit home. The service is friendly and very welcoming which is a plus for a place which is mainly serving an all you can eat meat feast, bu they take the time to reccomend you what you should try and encourage you to taste everything. It shows that they love what they do. A word of caution if you do not like meat or are a vegetarian then there will be nothing for you to do here except hear the others on your table ooh and aah in delight and stuff themselves up greedily. Its a lot of meat cooked on the rotissiere and grills and are spiced to near perfection. And the food just keeps coming, I specially loved the sausages, the chicken wings and chilli beef, and the caramelized pineapple was super. Another great part about this place is their cocktails which are surprisingly good, and on Thursdays they do $10 Sangrias ! I told you it was good.. Our group of four ate ourselves away into oblivion and left a happy bunch. read more

Great place, great atmosphere and the staff really do try hard to help out. Pro tip however, don't go until 7 otherwise you'll have to wait a bit for the BBQ. read more

The food and service are outstanding! From the time you are greeted at the door to the moment you leave, you are attended to and taken care of. This place is a massive favourite for our kids too! They love fact the servers come by to offer them whatever they like -- it's a huge novelty to them. My son says it is his all time favourite, chose it for his birthday dinner with family -- the owner and servers made this special for him ensuring he was asked what he wanted first and then came by with some birthday churros! He was loving it and so were we. They make an amazing pineapple martini that is top notch too. :) read more
