One of the very few authentic Brazilian places around town. Recommended and approved by my…read moreBrazilian friend. Parking is pretty horrendous here. Best to take transit. The place is quite small, and is more meant for takeout. There are a couple of tables and some bar seating facing the wall. Staff are friendly. They speak Portuguese. They are the real deal. As the food is made fresh, it actually takes 15-20 minutes. Something to keep in mind. The skewer combo I had was solid, but a bit small on the portion size. Knock 1 star off for lack of value. Served with fries, potato salad, salsa, and cassava. I also had the coxinha (chicken filled croquettes) and kibe com queijo (ground geef adn bulgur wheat croquette with melted cheese). The coxinha were tasty and hit the spot. The kibe was surprisingly mostly just cheese inside. The kibe traditional might be a better option. Wouldn't mind coming back to try more dishes. Recommended.

Well... what can I say about Boteco? This is the best…read moreBrazilian Restaurant in Vancouver. They have so many great options, specially the apps and main.

It's tucked away on Nanaimo & East Broadway, not a super busy area, but we noticed lots of Brazilian guests dining here. That's always a good sign! What we ordered: * Picanha Verão - A special Brazilian sirloin cut, served with a light hearts of palm salad. We're usually not sirloin steak people, but this dish completely surprised us. Juicy, flavourful, and a must-order signature plate! * Bobó de Camarão - Shrimp in creamy coconut milk sauce with rice & salad. The sauce was rich and comforting, we couldn't stop spooning it over the rice. * Dados de Tapioca - Crispy fried tapioca cubes dipped in sweet pepper jelly. Sweet, savoury, and chewy! It was such a unique appetizer. * Bolinho de Bacalhau - Cod croquettes with a mashed potato inside dough. Golden and speical. * Pudim de Leite Moça - Condensed milk flan. Smooth, creamy, and absolutely heavenly. Another must order! * Brigadeiro - Chocolate truffle ball coated in sprinkles. A classic Brazilian sweet treat. * Beijinho - Sweet coconut ball, soft and chewy. We paired everything with a fruity Batida de Frutas (mango) and the classic Caipirinha. Perfect match for the food and patio vibes. Overall, a hidden gem that transports you to Brazil through food, music, and vibes. We'll definitely be back to explore more dishes! Food:  5/5 Must Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 4/5 Yay! Price: $30-$40 each person (dinner) Presentation: 2/5 Parking:  Free street parking in the neighbourhood.

They sell a bunch of Brazilian snacks but overall the inside of the store looked worn out. We came in on a Sunday morning and no one was at the front. I rang the bell and a young girl came to take our order. She was sweet but looked very stressed. She ran to the back and was on the phone with her boss frantically asking for help. She then came running out and told us it'll be a wait because she needs to get a big order out. I replied no problem and went to grab a seat. After awhile I rang the bell again and asked for a refund and said I would return another time. The girl said she could make the food now. The next few minutes all we heard was the microwave constantly going off and it was clear nothing was made fresh. Feijoada: apparently this is their most popular dish and I liked the vibrant colours. However the pork was overcooked and nothing tasted fresh except for the slice of orange. Strogonoff: the creamy sauce was not bad but it was so salty we were really thirsty after. The chicken was overcooked. Coxinha: I was excited to try tradition Brazilian croquettes but these were clearly frozen and again didn't taste fresh.

The meats were cooked well and complemented well with all the dressing and zesty lemon slices.

" A HIDDEN GEM BURSTING WITH FLAVORS"…read more From the moment we walked in the SMELLS were enchanting songs to our nostrils. We were immediately greeted by staff and sat at a table to view the menu. Now let's be honest. We were tourist just leaving a cruise ship and looking for some good homecooked southern food. Although we reside in Texas, we are originally from New Orleans, La and my boyfriend is a CHEF. I am the foodie and he is the professional chef so restaurants don't stand a chance with our taste buds. Majid (OWNER) & Hamed are absolutely amazing. We were greeted and provided the warmest welcome with descriptions of the menu in detail. Being from the SOUTH were expecting that they were not aware of our cuisine. I was all the way wrong. 1st CHOICE - the Whole Slab of pork ribs tender and falling off of the bone, The flavor was absolutely amazing. It taste as great as MEMPHIS and TEXAS barbecue. I was impressed with the flavor and burst of seasonings that reminded me of a grill and smoked meat. There were 6 pieces with half of slab and 12 pieces with a whole slab. We literally could not even eat all of it. The plate also contained 4 ounces of barbecue sauce, 4oz of barbecue baked beans, 4 oz. of Cole slaw, full serving of coleslaw and a slice of cornbread ( I prefer homemade, hot and buttery flavor on top with serving). The beans were okay but I have had better. The barbecue sauce was not the best to me as well but the food was so good I was not bothered by it. 2nd CHOICE was slices of Moist brisket with charred ends that were so exhilarating it taste like it come straight from the smoker to my table. Every piece of meat was fresh as if they just cooked it for us. The same sides as above came with this plate also except we choose FRESH CAJUN FRIES in addition. They were flavorful and fresh. So we had two servings of each where as we did not need to share the sides. 3rd CHOICE, - Now I must admit, I was in between the macaroni and cheese and the jambalaya. Hamed was very informative in describing it in detail and convincing as it is one of the best sellers. The menu described it as SAUSAGE, SHRIMP AND PULLED CHICKEN, SERVED WITH GREENS AND CORNBREAD. Once it arrived to the table it had a very strange white sauce poured over the rice. This is not described on the menu and it is not a traditional sauce for jambalaya. MY ADVICE INFORM PATRONS OF THIS ADDITION TO THE DISH BECAUSE THIS IS NOT AN INGREDIENT IN CAJUN JAMBALAYA DOWN SOUTH or PLACE ON MENU IN DESCRIPTION. Also the menu describes as greens on plate, and greens is listed on the menu but once asked we were told this is green salad not collard greens. It literally was a small portion of lettuce with no dressing so this needs to be addressed as well. OVERALL , I STILL GAVE A FIVE STAR REVIEW BECAUSE THE FOOD WAS ON POINT FOR BEING LOCATED IN THIS VANCOUVER CANADA. WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED AND I HAVE TO ADMIT MAJID (OWNER) CAN WIN A COUPLE OF COOKOFFS THAT FOOD WAS DELICIOUS I ALSO NEED TO ADD THE HOSPITALITY AND KINDNESS OF MAJID. I watched him walk to each table and ask how was the food and greet all of the guest. He provided us with a souvenir to remember our visit. I almost want to fly out again to eat there and fly back home. TWO DRINKS COST - $98.50 American Dollars VS $135.60 CANADIAN DOLLARS

It is, as others have said, a neighborhood grocery store / cafe that is unmistakably and authentically Portuguese. Its name, Cafe Algarve, refers to the beachy area in the south of Portugal. However, a poster map of Baixa Pombalina, the Baixa district of Lisbon rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake under the direction of the Marques de Pombal, will be looking at you from the cash register. Locals coming from Portugal definitely frequent this business, close to the intersection of Broadway and Commercial Drive, and many speak in their native language. The owners and the patrons are very friendly. One should stop by to try a pastry and some coffee ... or tea. Also, if you've ever tried, and liked, Sumol, the Portuguese soft drink which comes in orange, pineapple, and passion fruit, you can buy it here. You can also buy other groceries. I recommend coming in the morning for the pastry and coffee. The pastries are pasteis de nata, the traditional Portuguese custard tarts "born" in Lisbon's Belem district, and it's impossible to eat just one. So, for an inexpensive pastry and coffee, meeting some nice folks from across the Atlantic, and doing something atypical while in Vancity, check this place out.
