After a travel tour, me & my fiancé stopped to get food. We were able to get a table with no wait. We ended up ordering Churrasco Misto à Dom Manolo and 2 Cokes. It was really good. The steak was perfectly cooked Medium. There are multiple big TVs to watch sports inside. A soccer game was on and we could see it from multiple spots. There was plenty of setting too. read more

Went to watch one of the Brazilian games got there a little before the game started and they weren't yet crowded were able to sit right in front of the screen to see the game Beer super cold We ordered the steak entrée with Farro and eggs and yucca. We also had a chicken dish that came with a risotto rice The chicken was the best part of the entire meal. It was juicy and delicious. One thing I wanna pour out is the service route received our waiter was on top of it making sure the beer was cold and refilled, and that everybody at the table had water and was to our liking . Definitely a great place to try out a very casual place . I would say this is Brazilian casual so dress up a little bit lol Family friendly throughout the week they have live music they show the game. I believe you can call and make a reservation if you're gonna have a large party or you know they're gonna be busy. read more

Wonderful Brazilian experience! My friend recommended this place based on his experience and it was stellar. We ordered the fish stew/paella and picanha with egg. Both entrees were cooked well and accompanied with delicious rice and beans. Service was absolutely on point and pricing was a little expensive but it's a ton of food. Definitely would recommend! read more

It is always a warming, welcoming experience at Boteco do Manolo. Best Brazilian food in USA and in Brasil... maybe too! The menu is a food bible. Don't skip the appetizer, pastéis, cod fish cake, pork skin. This is all together with cold beer and caipirinhas! I got the Bobó de camarão, and the garlic picanha with rice, beans, farofa, Brazilian vinaigrette, for desert condensed milk flan. The best !!!great music tooo!! read more

We came to enjoy some delicious Brazilian food this Saturday early afternoon. We were seated right away. There are lots of tables and space in the restaurant. Our waitress took our drink orders and appetizers quickly. As they were brought to our table we ordered our main course. Food was served hot and fairly quickly. The picanha was absolutely delicious. 5 generous slices. We ordered family style which came with rice, beans, farofa, sautéed collard greens and French fries. Price for food was very reasonable. Now the drinks I found a bit over priced. My passion fruit juice was $8. And it was good but nothing out of this world. But the service is always amazing and food very flavorful. I normally get dessert but this time did not. read more

LOVED the feel of Boteco do Mnalo. Super authentic! They cooked their Picanha steak just right. The texture was tender, and the flavor stood out. Simple seasoning let the meat shine. A solid choice if you want a well-prepared steak. read more

Boteco do Manolo - Brazilian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

So we had a Brazilian uber driver take us to our hotel and we asked him where he would eat Brazilian food, and this was the recommendation. This place was the gem of our trip to Orlando. Vey close to the Disney parks and lots of other fun spots around it. They were playing the Soccer games and it was packed, but we barely waited for a table. Our waiter was amazing!!!! He catered to our every need. If you like spicy a must try is their chili oil. I wish they bottled and sold it, I was ready to buy it on the spot. Everything I ate was fantastic, but the shrimp empanadas blew me out of the water. Full bar and good for small or large parties. Huge portions so be ready for that. It seems to also be served family style so plenty of sharing. A MUST-TRY!!!! read more

You must go! They have a menu with several options! There is NO reason to say you don't like it. My favorite so far is the Camarão ao Molho de Catupiry but a picanha is always good as well. read more

Highly recommend checking out Boteca do Manolo restaurant. Everything tastes homemade, service is speedy, the ambianceis filled with life and emotions from watching fútbol games in real time. Our server was Marcelle, delightful woman that has a smile that lights up the room. She answered all my questions and found the answer to one she didn't know. This American girl asked lots of questions. Posting more as I travel the menu with the smorgasbord family style foods. We started with Cod Fritters that made me wonder if it was actually crab. It was so finely flaked it was melt in the mouth good. I tried it with the lengendary hot suace malagueta that will give you a run for your money to gulp water down quickly. The next appetizer were pasteles made of ground beef, chicken and a third of shredded beef. Delectable because they have a surprise of melted cream cheese that melds the flavors of the meat and cheese into a memorable bite of goodness White rice and black beans. The staple of any true Latin meal. The right balance of salt and seasonings in the black beans that make you hungry for more. Vinagreti is the salsa that is the definition of fresh. Finely chopped tomatoes, green peppers, onions, chives and a splash of vinegar that provides acidity and ummpffff The Picanha (Top Sirloin) is tender and juicy as it appears to be sautéd in butter and a hint of sauce which makes this meat satiates your pallet. Even when it cools down it is like eating the best burger you had. Yucca, one of my favorite potato substitutes is sooooo yummy. Try it with the vinagreta for an extra amount of mouth watering flavor. Couve aka kale is finely sliced (like spaghetti) and sautéd with garlic and chives which makes a flavorful side dish that adds another layer of intensity that is not too strong. Wait for it. Trying the Flan next. Can't. Wait. It doesn't disappoint. You will be thrilled Sending a shout out to Rodrigo de Silva who took me there to experience Brazil on US turf. read more

Traditional Brazilian food, done well, in a nice place with table service and a full bar. The emphasis is on meats of all kinds, and the VERY extensive menu does a good job of picturing everything. The prices seem high at first, but even the half portion is more than enough for two people. There is also a lunch menu. Hard surfaces, so it can get noisy. read more

It's a really nice place to eat with a family. Their portions are for 4 people. We like to go there when we want something to bring home and eat later. The empanadas (pastéis) are really good. Staff are always friendly and nice. The place has a nice environment and some days they bring people to sing there, and sometimes is too loud. We like the picanha, parmigiana (ask without ham, I don't know why they put it). read more

Food was great! Steaks were tasty, rice and beans tasty, dried pork side was tasty. Service was nice as well. Only problem is that the menus were exceptionally dirty and needed to be cleaned or even replaced read more

Will never eat here again! I came here four times times with my family and once with friends.Two times we had GLASS, tiny pieces of glass in our food! The food we ordered was picanha with feijão tropeiro & vinagrete the platter for the family. And every single time we ended up also getting Covid the following days after going here. I know it seems like a lot but this is why I'm writing this review. It's long overdue. This is ridiculous this place needs to be regularly inspected. The need air purifiers or something since so many foreigners go here, the locals get sick with whatever the tourists bring. The beer here on the tap tastes fake and makes you extremely bloated. This place is a disaster if you're going! I will never go again! Terrible service as well, food takes forever and when it arrives the taste of the meat is weird. There is just something extremely off with this place. It needs really good cleaning of all the silverware and plates which come dirty. And please put an air purifier in. Because one family of locals sick can spread to the entire village! Encintrei vidro na minha comida, os talheres e pratos sempre vem sujo, e toda vez que vínhamos aqui pegamos COVID. Terrível! read more

Comida é bem fraca pelos preços, o ambiente e o serviço é bom. Porções de janta e beliscos são de bom tamanho. Mas novamente, comida tem sabor fraco pelo preço que cobram. read more

Food is great but customer beware of break ins out on the parking lot. This looks like a bad area at the end of International drive and the parking lot around the back of the restaurante is unmonitored. My car was broken into and there were other cars with broken glasses as well. Judging by the SEVERAL signs "do not leave your belongings inside the car", taped on every wall inside the restaurant, this is a common problem that no one is really doing anything about. Service was great and food was really good but we will not be back. read more

I feel that as a Brazilian I have to come forward and give this place the review it deserves. My man is Puerto Rican, and we have been to this place together at least 5 times already (and will keep coming back). The price justifies how much food you will get (which is a lot) and the quality... checks kiss. Everything is well seasoned! The drinks are 9/10 are on point! I don't know who the bartender was yesterday, but all the drinks he made were lowkey terrible but this is a rare occurrence! And the waiter and manager, God bless them, were kind enough to take it off our check. The place looks beautiful, and the bathroom is always clean. I wish I had more photos to share. I want to give a special s/o to a waiter, Danilo, every time we show up he comes over to greet us and always makes sure we're straight we the drinks just the way we like it. He is an excellent server. read more

Good Brazilian food, servers was great but the reason for a two stars is because of the hostess and manager poor costumer service. Over an hour of wait due that lost our reservation and keep putting people in front of us by mistake. read more

More Brazilian, for authentic dishes that you won't see in a lot of other places, but far downscale in dining decor from Texas de Brazil or Fogo. The shrimp was excellent, very heavy sauce, and super tasty. The steak was a little underwhelming. Food is fresh, well made, and in big portions. Parking is easy, in a big lot. Service was excellent, and they are doing a good job of sanitizing and social distancing. read more

Might be the best BEST Brazilian food I've ever had. They had the nicest servers. Vinny was very polite and appreciate him. Also Camile Helped me find the hot sauce I needed for my food and trust me it was perfect! We are not from Orlando but will be back and will suggest this place to everyone. read more

The servers are very enthusiastic and take time to explain the menu to you, place is well decorated tool. The sides were all great, especially the escondidinho and farofa de carne seca. Unfortunately, the picanha does come in a large amount but the slices are all very thin, so even though you order the meat cooked to your liking mostly all of it will come out about well done and more on the tough side. read more

When in Orlando, my friends and I try to find a Brazilian restaurant to eat at to satisfy our craving since we miss Brasil. We came to find this place after seeing people rave this place to be an authentic Brazilian restaurant with excellent food. Authenticity is right, owned by a Brazilian and pretty much every one that works in there speaks portuguese. So we tried their recommendation of Picanha Manolo Style, pretty much seared slices of picanha with sauteed onions. Beware of their portions, they are not individual plates, they are meant to be shared with 2-3 other people when you order the half portions; the full portions are for 4 to 6 people. But then again if you are hungry, no stopping you in getting a whole plate to yourself. We also ordered Pastel de Carne e Queijo as appetizers as well as Linguica Calabresa with Onions. Also another half portion of Bobo de Camarao (Shrimp stew Brazilian style with coconut milk). Overall the food portions are good but quality and taste wise was just ok. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. Picanha that supposed to be medium rare (that how any steak is meant to be eaten) it came almost well done, not good. Pastel dough was a bit too rough, so it wasn't as enjoyable to eat. The linguica calabresa was good, that took us back to Brasil. Bobo de camarao, that just had a weird taste to all of us, and pretty much we didn't like that dish at all. Maybe they were having an off day, I would give them another try to confirm if is just ok or could they better. IG:@koganei037 read more

Food is always delicious. Portions are generous and can easily be split by 2 people. My husband and I get the filet mignon with catupiry sauce and the pastel appetizer. We always have some leftovers and we split with my toddler as well. Service is always friendly as well. read more

NEVER AGAIN! Tourist Trap! Extremely Expensive and Mediocre. Oh... And they also stick you with a cover charge!! I had high hopes for the place and was highly disappointed instead. First And Last Time. The food was subpart, traditional mid-level Brazilian restaurant ambiance without any fuss. If you like Brazilian music, look somewhere else. The singer was decent but sang only 2-3 Portuguese songs over our dinner time. Everything else was American songs... Puzzled... Be careful with waiters' recommendations. Some items are ridiculously more expensive when you order the suggested "samplers". Frango a Passarinho appetizer* $30 *Zero flavors, small order even for appetizer size. fritters appetizer (6) $31. suggested by the waiter Codfish, the most expensive of the three types cost $3.50/unit. Pay $10 for the sampler that comes with less expensive items. Cheese empanadas were undercooked (cheese half melt). The three appetizers plus two caipirinhas, two beers, and a soda came out to $138. The day before we had lunch at Fogo De Chāo and paid about the same amount for unlimited meats, a bottle of wine, the same 2 caipirinhas, and soda, and an unlimited salad bar, in a white table cloth elegant setting instead of bare tables with paper napkins. Never Again!! read more

Quite honestly the only reason this restaurant got ANY stars was the wait staff's attitude. Everyone in the restaurant was extremely friendly and helpful. My waiter grew up in Brazil and made recommendations based on his childhood preferences. Now the pineapple capharina was DELICIOUS!! Then I ordered the chicken and dried beef empanadas. When they came out I received cheese and beef empanadas. The server said it was the kitchen's fault. But he did put in an order for chicken empanadas as well (I ended up with NINE empanadas). He also advised me to try the house made pepper oil, which he assured me was flavorful but not really spicy. Instead it was like fire in a jar. I'm pretty sure my tongue will never be the same. He went on to recommend the picanha steak dish. He was very emphatic that I order it with white rice because it allows the flavor of the steak to shine through. However, what came out was a steak smothered in cheese and bacon served with "crazy rice" (similar to fried rice, which is explicitly what he told me not to order. But once it came he tried to convince me that I wanted this dish rather than replacing it. I ended up with a dish I did not like or want. This was a $50 waste of money. I know they are new but I probably wouldn't return. read more

Comida muito boa, mas teve um mal entendido com a garçonete e o preço... Camarao Com CatupiryPicanha Steak

I went to Boteco do Manolo today, the appetizer was if it wasn't a hair that was found on one of the crockets, also the Picanha a mineira (main dish) was everything cold and the meat had no flavor at all, when we mentioned to the waitress Bruna, she said she was going to call the manager which never came, totally lack of respect towards the customer, you pay a fortune for quality food and get shitty service and nasty food. Good luck if you want to try but that place will not see my face again Fui hoje ao Boteco do Manolo, a entrada estava boa, se não fosse um fio de cabelo que estava em um dos bolinhos de carne seca, também a picanha a mineira estava tudo fria e a carne não tinha sabor nenhum, quando a gente mencionou para a garçonete Bruna, ela disse que ia chamar o gerente que nunca apareceu, total falta de respeito com o cliente, você paga uma fortuna por comida de qualidade e recebe um atendimento péssimo e comida nojenta. Boa sorte se você quiser tentar, mas aquele lugar não verá meu rosto novamente read more

Rafael and Mike where awesome. The food was amazing This is my first restaurant in the city. Wow I love it read more

Very bad service. I don't recommend at this place. Waste of time. Awful parking lot. Don't waste your time

The food was amazing. Huge portions. What they call a half portion could probably feed 2-3 people. The dessert was a really pleasant surprise. Everything we had was better than we expected. Service was actually really good. Perhaps they had seen previous reviews and have made efforts to improve. Ambiance was lively. They had a soccer game on and after that some live music. Seemed like a great place to watch Brazilian teams play. Drinks were colorful and delicious on the cocktail end but limited beers. They did have several options though that you won't exactly find anywhere else. read more

Best environment, food and Service. My favorite restaurant in Orlando. Tasty food, cold beer and excellent service. I really recommend.

I will not support a business with sneaky, conniving tactics. I came in with my husband, my 7yr old son & my dad. We ordered -a kids meal $13 & change -a (bolinho mix appetizer($35) -3 beers $9 each -& side of tomatoes for the kids meal (which they charged $9 !!!!!!!! & a apple juice for him $5 !! So basically $27 for a kids meal So no full meals for the adults just ONE shared appetizer . Bill came , $105 ! So I'm looking at the details towards the bottoms $10 for 3x3 cover , I'm like wtf is that? So I ask the waiter & she's like , oh we charge a COVER CHARGE because they have live music. Uhm excuse me? So you're telling me , these sneaky ass Brazilian people, (I'm Brazilian , so I know how these people operate) decided to just go ahead & NOT HAVE ANY KIND OF SIGN LETTING PEOPLE KNOW they charge a cover fee to basically just be inside a restaurant. Which I've never hurd of. Ok $10 is not a lot but it's the SCHEMING behavior that rubs be the wrong way. I believe that is Wrong! & they need to be honest and upfront with their customers. Put a big sign in the front letting people know that is what they do, so they know what to expect. It's the honest thing to do! Although yes The bolinho mix is very tasty, that devious tactic makes me not want to ever come back! The owner needs a REALITY CHECK for sure ! This Shows a reflection of who he is. Just a tip :) read more
