Boteco Brasil - Vancouver, British Columbia

Went there with my wife for the first time. Things were OK in general, but there were some points that made my visit a bit awkward. We came around 2 pm, the restaurant was quite empty, just 2 other tables, one big group that was leaving and a musician that was ... setting up her stuff. First, the seats outside need to be properly cleaned or replaced. The cushions are a bit dirty. Second, the cleaning product for the tables smells like bleach, but a lot like bleach. Once the server cleaned the table and let us sit, the smell lasted for 20 to 30 min. We ordered 2 starters, 2 drinks, and the main dish straight away. On the menu, the starters had an option to add a dip for .50 cents, we did not ask for the dip, but they came anyway. One other detail, we had two cocktails, and our server offered a double, which we declined. The appetisers came before the drinks, which is fine for a busy day, but not so much on a slow Sunday afternoon. Around 30 min after we came in, another server showed up to help her, and he started cleaning tables and arranging stuff. He came to us and put a sign on the table informing customers of a 6 dollar per person charge for the live music. I'm more than happy to pay and support an artist, but, we came to the restaurant and the singer wasn't playing, we waited about 5 to 10min for our table to be ready and the staff did not mention this charge, and the singer finish her performance before we left (we spent around 1.5 hours there). We finished our drinks, our main came, everything was OK. We asked for salt and pepper and a beer jug, we never got any! Ehehehe So after a few minutes I asked the server that, in case the jug wasn't ready, he could cancel and bring 2 sleeves only. At the end, the bill came on time, the two dips were there and 12 dollar for the live music as well. 6 out of 10 experience. Read more

This is a review for the restaurant food truck experience I tried in White Rock today. First time trying Brazilian food. I was happy that the staff were patient and answered our questions as we are vegetarian. I enjoyed the food and drink but the dessert was more popular with ... my parents. Nice first time experience!

Hands down one of my top 5 restaurants in Vancouver. Authentic Brazilian food. Super relaxing place with nice servers. The food is insanely good.

We have been here several times before. It's simple but cozy and cheerful. In summer you can even sit outside. The servers are Brazilian:) Very friendly and good service. We had their Caipirinha there which we really like, they had been this time on the week side, we asked and they fixed it :) For ... food we shared their "spicy" Queijo Coalho dish, which we love. Then we had beef Stroganoff and Cumbuca Do Boteco. Their fries are very good :) The Queijo Coalho dish used to be better (maybe new chef?) but we love it spicy (Brazilian food is usually not), so we added some hot sauce ;-) The beef Stroganoff used to have more and a better flavour, but maybe next time its back to where it was before. We love this place and love to support local restaurants and will be back! They also have often live music, like this night and it's great! (They have a surcharge of $6.- pp to support the musicians). Ps.: sorry forgot to take photos of the dishes, which looked good and like their photos in their menu :) Read more

Good Brazilian food!!! I would definitely recommend this place. Pretty big portion and tastes very good. The coxinha omg it was really food. I would definitely come back here so many times to get this snack. Cheers!
