Brazilian Cuisine

My very first experience dining in a fine Brazilian restaurant. The experience was splendid, the food was delightful, and the service was excellent. The key to it though, is to make an early reservation for the best selection. We were there at Bolero Restaurant for a 5:30 p.m. reservation.

Free flow of appetizers.


Appetizers from the fresco bar and hot bar.

Bolero is a Brazilian style steak house, where Gaucho chefs circle the dining room with a variety of meats to serve to customers, known as rodizio style dining. One pays a fixed price ($37.50) and the chefs bring an offering of food to each customer at several times throughout the meal, until the customers signify that they have had enough. There was a block on the table which had red on one end and green on the other. The chefs will only bring more meat if the card is flipped to the green side.

Picanha, garlic parmesan striploin, filet mignon, ribeye steak, rack of lamb, garlic parmesan porkloin, pork tenderloin, Alcatra (special beef pot roast), pork ribs, garlic parmesan picanha, pineapple, linguica (Portuguese cured pork sausage), bacon filet mignon, bacon wrapped chicken, chicken legs, vegetable skewers, and leg of lamb, are among the choice to choose from.

A chef cut the meat skillfully and served us.


The BBQ pineapple was a hit!

A bountiful selection of food was served and cut fresh in front of our eyes. I took pleasure in savouring the good food. It was indeed a great eye-opener to a non-ordinary dining experience! Love it :)
