Our only disappointment in Adelaide. And I feel so sad because I am Brazilian and everywhere my husband and I go we try to go to at least one Brazilian barbecue restaurant.
The atmosphere is very nice and the staff are extremely friendly. The sides are plentiful (you can order as much as you want) and very tasty - I don't usually eat fried bananas with barbecue but theirs was impossible to refuse.
Nevertheless, even though you could book a table online for until as late ad 9.30pm, we booked ours for 8.00pm... and that's when our drama started...
As the phone was almost flat, we turned it off and put it to charge. Someone from the restaurant had sent a message saying that our table had been booked for 7.30, and they wanted to know whether we were going... we only saw that at 7.50pm when we turned the phone on to leave our hotel.
Anyway, there was no problem (or so we thought), because when we got there, there were only 2 tables taken, and it was 8.04, anyway. And we had a screenshot of the booking, as we always take, anyway.
They brought the sides straight away and the meat didn't take long to start being brought to our table.
Not long after we arrived the people from one of the tables left... and my husband then asked me if I could tell they were rushing the meat to our table. Yes! It was easy to tell they were.
Then, the other people from the other table also left about 40 minutes after we had arrived, and soon after that, before 9.00pm, the waiter told us that the kitchen would close in 20 minutes, so he asked us what else we would like, as they would not allow us even 1.5 hour for a meal (a barbecue!!!) - even though, as I mentioned before, we could have booked a table until 9.30pm on their website!!!
We then told him the things that we would like: rump cap (picanha), garlic rump (picanha com alho) and ham with pineapple. Only three cuts.
The waiter then explained that to put a new cut of rump cap in the barbecue would take it about 15 mitutes to be ready, so he asked us if it would be ok to brink us what they already had.
Well... that did not leave us with many options, after we had learnt that the kitchen would be closed at 9.10, even though we could have booked a table until 9.30, if we did not know the restaurant would be empty.
So he brought us the meat... which was terribly dry and overcooked, as everything had been reheated. Someone else came to rush us out as well, asking us if we wanted anything else to drink because the kitchen was closing down...
We just wanted to get out of there because the meat, which had started very nice indeed, had turned into something like pieces of leather, like my father used to say.
I will give two stars considering the beginning of our dinner and the friendliness of the waiters, but their attitude towards us was not worth even one star! It was extremely disrespectful!
It was a very special night for us, and that was why we chose a Brazilian restaurant for that evening... but they just ruined it!
But I wonder if the restaurant was almost empty because they show no commitment to customers, no matter how many of them there are.
And what if we had booked our table for 9.00? Would we not have been allowed in, or would we have found the door already closed?
If we come back to Adelaide, we will definitely not be going back to B'Churrasco. The worst spent $140...
Read moreWe came here for a birthday. There were generous servings of sides e.g.fries, creamy potato salad, garden salad, fried plantains, garlic bread... which I think was meant to fill you up as they wouldn't serve you any of the meats before the starters hit your table. We were a bit disappointed with them to be honest, as they tasted like unhealthy, American fast food sides and weren't very good at all.
When the meats came around, it came around quick and the gentlemen carving the meats at your table were friendly and informative. The meat themselves were OK - our favourties were the rump cap and lamb ribs. Their chorizo was.. just a chorizo, garlic rump was really tasty but chewy at the same time, and cinnamon pineapple could've been charred more. We did get a complementary chocolate lava cake for the birthday, but there was nothing outstanding about it either. In general the food was OK, it wasn't as Brazillian-ish as we hoped but it wasn't terrible either. I can see why it has a 4.8 rating here as it's a one of a kind dining experience in Adelaide, however the level of quality has yet to reach Melbourne/Sydney standards (for the price you pay). The waiting service could be better too as it took many tries to get a waitress' attention and they only seem to pay attention to you after you've changed your light to anything other than green. Will we be back? Maybe, if they have a new menu to try or if they've been reviews that the cook of their meat has improved. We did have a fun night,...
Read moreWhat to say about this place apart from wow. Went here for my 40th birthday I had heard so much about this place and it did not disapoint. We had a drink in the bar part first. Such a lovely aear to sit and wait for your booking time. The drink prices are realy good compared to every where else. We sat at the table the lovely lady told use how it works love the green light red light thing. I said to my wife We won't need the red light there's no such thing as to much food. I was wrong We uesd the red light a fare bit. I'm calling it a food party the sides came out and all of them are so tasty and would be the best potato salad I have ever had. Then the meat started to come out and wow I love bbq meat and this is next level so so so much meat then after the first round you. CAn just keep asking for what you liked. We haven't seen the price before hand and once they said that side was unlimited and all the meat we thought easy over $100 each looked on line and was shocked how cheap it was. 10 out of 10 for everything at this place food,service, vibe, all staff are professional and friendly shout out to Leo who served us the most. I have eaten all over the world and at aldifrent sorts of places from street food to fine dining and this experience is up in the top 2 This place would now be my favourite place in Adelaide I will be back often. Thank you for such an...
