  • 3/5 Pedram E. 2 years ago on Google
    I was really hoping to love this place. The service was great, and the buffet had a lot of variety. The staff walked around continuously offering a variety of meets for you too choose from. What I was not a fan off, was that the selection of the more popular cuts, like picanha and filet mignon were rarely offered, unless you asked and waited a long time to receive them. While sometimes the meat was perfectly cooked, about half of the time the meat was far too salty to enjoy.

    All you need to know: GREEN means "bring the meat" & RED means "I need a break give me a second" And when I say bring the meat, I mean they serve you the best cuts of every meat, every time. I mean your favorite bite, every bite. I was in heaven. They also have a salad bar, with the best leaf, or grain, or legume. Every piece looks like the best one. Now I know it sounds like there must be a lot of waste, but I'm not thinking about that as I bite the best part of the steak, or pork belly. It's worth every penny. (Also, the service is phenomenal. They have English, Portuguese, and Spanish speakers)

    excellent place for dinner with espeito corrido (rolling meat all the time) with an outstanding quality. products are of JBS, that were present that night. the salad bar has from octopus to shrimps and abalones. Simply, don't lose it. we were at Barbacoa Itaim but there are 130 in Brazil 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    It is a famous BBQ all you can eat place recommended by our local friends. The buffet was very nice, however the meat could've been better. Some of the pieces were too fatty and didn't taste very nice. I was expecting much more.

    Place is honestly insanely good. To put it in perspective, we ate at the 12th best restaurant in the world the night before we came here, and I think me and the 2 other guys I was with all enjoyed this meal better. Insane value, insanely good, authentic Brazilian experience. There’s is caviar on the buffet!!? HUH??? The tuna???? SO GOOD!!!!

    Had a good time and food was good however, the final payment they used their own conversion instead of selecting BRL in payment and as such an additional 16% was applied. Gross behaviour. They never allowed me to see the screen and just tapped my card so didn't know until I checked my card statement later and realised the payment was excessively higher +$28. There is no reason for them to select an international currency for conversion. It is so unprofessional. Reading another review it seems this is something that has happened before and they haven't bothered fix it. The person may not have known so they either need to train better or get a new machine. Regardless I cannot look past this kind of behaviour at an establishment. After travelling South America for 8 months, this was the first establishment to do this so really disappointing.

    It was great experience. Tastes good. The staff is so kind even we don't speak Portuguese, they were trying to understand what I said in English. Actually I used Google translate, though.haha They are cutting done meats on front of us like performance. It was so fun and we really enjoyed the meal here. I think basically this restaurant is popular and crowded, so why don't you make a reservation for your great meal!?

    This place is always very busy and it’s kudos to the staff and quality of food. It’s always plentiful and available. This service is incredible. The quality and quantity of meat is exceptional. The restaurant itself is beautiful and very clean. This is my favourite churrascaria in Itaim!

    The best Rodizio I have had to date, I highly recommend this restaurant. The salad bar is amazing and the meats are to die for. I loved it so much I'm dining there again before heading back to the UK.

  • 4/5 Jefferson G A. 2 years ago on Google
    Barbacoa was a great experience for my boyfriend and I. He was extremely excited about trying barbecue in Brazil, more specifically the picanha. The buffet is well served and constantly refreshed by the servers. The Metre was very cordial and ensured we had a good experience. However, the reason why I am not giving 5 stars was because we didn't get the cuts of meat we specifically asked the servers. When Filet Mignon came we'd had enough food and could not try it.

  • 5/5 John J. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow, great experience. Staff was amazing just like the food. Atmosphere is very nice and it is obviously will managed.

  • 5/5 Jack L. 4 years ago on Google
    I have been eating here for at least 20 years and it has been same level of food quality and service. I am not eating meat as much but the buffet, that is about half price, is still a nice quick satisfying meal option.

  • 5/5 Ardalan 5 months ago on Google
    Giving 5 stars on everything. The food is just fantastic, probably the best lamn i have had in my life and i have had alot of lamb. the service was fantastic as well, our whaiter was amazing and intuitive. He knew when we had food on our plate that you were not going to eat, and exchanged the plate with a new one without asking. From what i understand, this place is one of the best Barbacoa places in all Sao Paulo, so this is amust if you are visiting SP.

  • 5/5 Fábio Henrique Bittes T. 3 years ago on Google
    It’s really good. A very good Brazilian steak house, with great variety and special beef cuts. It’s a must-go with you are looking for a bbq in São Paulo or while in São Paulo.

  • 5/5 Eduardo S. 2 years ago on Google
    Best barbecue I ever had. Special mention to the beef ribs and pancetta, pork belly, exceptional service and ambience.

  • 5/5 Eva M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow no comparison to the churrascaria in the United States the meats continually come out with great cuts. The salad bar was plentiful. Always a wait to get seated but all worth it.

  • 5/5 Chris H. 7 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing food. They went out of their way to make sure that we were treated amazing with our lack of Portuguese language. Every steak I tried was cooked to perfection.

  • 5/5 Harry C. 2 years ago on Google
    a very traditional Churrascaria... were there on a Saturday afternoon... very, very busy👍 top service and quality of the food provided!!

  • 5/5 S L. 7 months ago on Google
    Possibly the best restaurant in Sao Paulo! They have a huge selection of salads and starters. Once you are done with them, you turn the coin on your table to green, and the waiters start showering you with meat, meat and more meat! The ambience is really nice and service is fast. It was full of people on a weekday evening! You have to remember that food is costly here compared to other restaurants in the city. Expect a bill of BRL 200-300 per person.

  • 5/5 Thomas P. 10 months ago on Google
    This place is the ultimate. I have no complaints. Everything was perfect. This place really lived up to its reputation. With no reservations, we had to wait for 45 minutes in their nice waiting room (with free snacks). Totally worth it.

  • 3/5 Carla C. 2 years ago on Google
    I absolutely think this place offers great food, however as I have visited many times in a group with my male colleagues and alone with female colleagues, we have been treated differently (inferiority) when we we were only women They absolutely have treated the “man@ with more attention and overall respect As examples The food (cuts of meat) offered were different Drinks spilled women cleaned, men cleaned and replenished Overall waitress attentiveness lacking for women table vs table with male Under appreciated as female customer I have visited the restaurant over 10> times

  • 3/5 Tassio M. 1 year ago on Google
    It was ok - not a lot of variety in the food at the salad bar. I guess u pay for the name and location not for the food plus my steaks were dry

  • 5/5 Akshay J. 4 years ago on Google
    Come prepared to over eat. The typical Brazilian all you can eat churrascaria with a never ending supply of meat. They have a decent salad bar to get you started but once you're ready to flip the coin to green, the meat doesn't stop coming. You can choose what you like and all of the cuts were absolutely delicious. The lamb was by far my most favorite.

  • 5/5 Yuko K. 1 year ago on Google
    Carnes e comida ótimos ! Serviço bom. Good atmosphere. Only some big groups were very noisy, which didn't match with the nice restaurant setting. If they had private rooms, maybe it would be better. (Não tirei fotos de carnes ;(

  • 5/5 Lacy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Overal great experience. It is very busy and fast paced but the meat is always circulating and available. Take you time and enjoy yourself. No need to rush. A bit pricey but worth the cost if you are hungry. Many people spoke English here.

    Probably the best rodizio restaurant in Brazil. There are a few Barbacoas through out the city. This one is the one you should go for.

  • 4/5 Fabrizio M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great churrasco, personally I think one of the best in São Paulo. And, judging by the queue we did on Sunday, I am not the only one who has this opinion. Meat is amazing, just don't get too much distracted by the huge tables covered by appetizers and concentrate on the proteins. A must try when visiting São Paulo

  • 5/5 Richard H. 4 years ago on Google
