Traineira Grill - Steak House — Restaurant in Santa Cruz

Traineira Grill – Steak House never disappoints! This wonderful grill house offers a top-quality selection of meats, expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. Each visit is a treat, and the aroma of meat sizzling on the grill is enough to make your mouth water the moment you walk in.

While the regular menu is impressive on its own, we always look forward to their specials—especially the Beef Chop, which is consistently juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Knowing how tempting the smells are, we usually order a starter right away to take the edge off while we eagerly wait for our mains.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly, attentive, and happy to help with recommendations. Having dined here multiple times, we can confidently say it's one of our favorite spots, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.

This restaurant is a little hard to find but persevere. Almost drove by. Glad we did not. Big car park just before not well sign posted. We had not booked. However no problem. We were shown to our table. Very modern well decorated and laid out restaurant. Ordered drinks. Sparkling water. Coke Zero (proper sized bottle) and a large beer. Food wise we ordered for the veggie the cheese puff and garlic mushrooms. My daughter had the top rump and I had the lkg T bone steak. We had sides of fries and the local deep fried corn. The T bone steak was the tastiest best cooked piece of cow I have had in a very long time. Faultless. My daughters steak likewise was excellent. The veggie options were also delicious. There was so much food there was no room for dessert. We vowed to return just to try! We had coffee to finish. It was a perfect end to a perfect meal. Great food. Well cooked. Well served. Great surroundings. Five star...

Five stars — and well deserved! One of the best dining experiences of our trip. The meat was absolutely delicious — juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. It’s not the cheapest place, but the prices are very fair for the quality of food and service.

The service was excellent. We were warmly welcomed, got great recommendations, and everything we tried was spot on. They also have a wide selection of wines and helped us pick the perfect one to go with our meal — and it was amazing.

Another big plus: they have their own parking, which makes things super convenient. Just park and walk right in — no stress.

Unfortunately, we underestimated our appetite and ordered a bit too much, so we didn’t get a chance to try the dessert. But that just gives us one more reason to come back!

Huge thanks to the team at Traineira — you’re doing a fantastic job. We’ll...
