Sabor Carioca — Restaurant in Toronto

We visited this restaurant on a Saturday as a group of 6,excited to enjoy authentic Brazilian cuisine. The service was friendly, and the caipirinha was very good definitely a highlight of the meal.

Despite the very positive reviews here, others must be of the same opinion, since we were the only ones dining there,...

By far the most authentic feijoada I’ve tried outside of Brasil! The service was also spot on! My party had other dishes like the steak with rice and beans and the strogonoff, all very tasty and decent-sized portions! The ambience is the only thing that needs some work, especially considering the prices they charge… the place could look more inviting and less noisy! nonetheless I’ll...
