    The service is very nice and welcoming. The food is good, it was the first time for us in a Brazilian restaurant and it was very nice. We booked a table with The Fork with a 30% discount, so it was particularly inexpensive!

    Brazilian food 🇧🇷 The staff is kind, the food is great and the prices are really good. You can find them at The Fork so you can get some discounts. I would definitely recommend the Moqueca with fish and shrimps.

    A Portuguese/Brazilian restaurant with a twist. It's a nice restaurant with an unusual decoration. The group ordered a mix of dishes, ranging from tapas to burgers. There were a few dishes delicious and others quite disappointing. The croquettes "Costela de Vitela" and "Feijoada Brasileira" were really good. I highly recommend the croquettes!! The "Moelas Bohemia" were extremely salty and I struggled a lot to eat them. The "Batata Frita Gratinada" was a completely disappointing. They arrived very soggy and they looked very unappealing. The burgers were just okay. Clearly superior to a burguer from any fast food restaurant but was missing that wow factor. And finally, the desert. We ordered the Taça Ferrero but the only thing that struck us was the size of it! Loads of chocolate but nothing special about the flavour... In summary, I found the restaurant to be a bit pricey, given the quality of the food.

    Who likes a mix of slightly rustical dishes preferably spiced up with a pinch of garlic together with perfectly made tender meat pieces will love the surprise which you will experience if you select a dish that includes these tasty and astonishing crusty "Torresmo" made out of pork. They remind me a little bit at a very beloved german-franconian dish called "Schäufele". A clear recommendation!

    You will feel in Brazil without leaving Portugal. This bar offers a great and welcoming ambiance, excellent music selection, beautifully decorated and the menu is appealing. The staff is very kind. The only downside is the waiting time for your meal to be ready after we ordered. The food was ok, not excellent.

    The food was good but really salty and we waited more than an hour for it 🫤.

    Really nice food. Worth trying. Staying for another week nearby so will be visiting again. (Edit review, called 2nd night & food was even nicer than 1st).

    Very tasty food, and a really nice place to try brazilian food that is not only picanha. You can’t really go wrong with any of the desserts 🤤

    We were wandering around the city to find a place for dinner without reservation when we - fortunately discovered this place. The restaurant was almost full neverthless the service was flawless, we were very happy with our host. The dinner was absolutely fantastic, we had to try everything:starter, appetizer, main dish (carna and picanha) and dessert (brigadeiro). The prices were fairly good, not that high as at another places. It was without any doubt our best dinner we had in Porto. Will come back if I am in the city!

    I feel bad leaving this terrible review as the waitresses did work really hard and were clearly very low in numbers but the end result was that the customer suffered. We waited 45 minuets to get our drinks (including water) and well over an hour for food. The starters were good, but the mains were cold, very cold, and the very generous portion sizes didn't fit on the table meaning we had to play plate jenga and place wine bottles and things on the ground. I'm also pretty sure they ran out of bottled water and refilled our bottles with tap (which isn't a problem) but they charged us for bottled water. Over all it was very disappointing. Would not return. Worse meal I've had in porto sadly. But I must say the girls did work really hard, it's just unfortunate they had an impossible task.

    Food took over an hour to arrive and the staff was rude. When it arrived, the food was either flavorless or was extremely salty and fat. For the price the restaurant asks, the quality should be many times better. Absolutely do not recommend.

    The food was delicious and the atmosphere was the same as the Brazilian one. Important to mention that they have food without wheat flour.

    We got it recommended by a friend, the food looked very delicious but unfortunately the meat came cold. It was still nice.

  • 3/5 Rafael L. 10 months ago on Google
    Really overpriced and the food wasn’t particularly good. I get it, this is a touristy area. But 20€ a plate is really high for Porto. However there are much better, cheaper and more authentic Brazilian restaurants with better and more filling food in Porto. I must say that the service was extremely kind and attentive and I don’t want this to reflect on anyone working there. They did a great job with the menu in general and the desserts ie the mousse of maracujá are good. However I believe for the price they have to really deliver a higher quality than what I experienced in terms of food. Best of luck

    There is a variety of meals and the food is tasty. We particularly liked the black bean soup and the mix of croquettes. Atmosphere is relaxed and joyful. The staff is kind and meets all guests' wishes.

    Amazing experience and food - I've felt that I was at home! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to try some authentic Brazilian food

  • 5/5 Globe T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Brazilian food with a super friendly staff, especially Joana, who treated us like royalty. Try the pasteis de camarao and the coxinhas. Excellent fruit caipirinhas made with premium cachaça. Mmmmmm

    If sushi heaven exists, this is the place 🙌 Our dishes were so stunning and melty in the mouth, I would give it ten stars✨ The service was slower, but the staff seemed to be hosting two larger parties the night we ate there. The sushi chef really is amazing, and it was fantastic to watch him create the dishes. Everything that came off of his station was gorgeous! Thank you for the amazing food 💞

    Very pleasant experience dinning with friends, we were a group of 10. The food was great, for a non-connoisseur the Brazilian dishes were delicious. Food served in reasonable time considering the place was packed. The service is impecable, the staff goes above and beyond to make the experience a great one. Absolutely recommended!
