Restaurante Botequim à Brasileira — Restaurant in Vila Nova de Gaia

After browsing the other vendors (and finding some of them don’t accept credit cards), I decided to try the Brazilian Feijoada at Botequim à Brasileira (since they had a card terminal visible on the counter). They didn’t have a 7-Up for my 6 year old daughter, but they did have something from Brazil called Guarana. The gentleman who took my order told me it was popular in Brazil. I figured it was worth a shot and my daughter seemed to like drinking it. The meal itself was very delicious. The gentleman even dropped by to ask me if everything was to my liking which I appreciated. My daughter ate some of my rice and beans and also ate some of the meat. I didn’t bother offering her the kale salad as I know she wouldn’t like it. I would definitely recommend...

We have ordered 4 pastel misto (two with cheese and two with meat) was not even half filled with meat or cheese which is visible on below picture. The main dish was prato -rice was totally bland and tasted like it was re-cooked for a second time, we didn't ate it just to be sure, chicken was nicely seasoned but quite heavy on the dry side. The only realy good thing was salad and desert (acai simples which isn't on the photo) Overall 4.9 opinion that the restaurant has at the time of writing is hugely overrated in my view hence why...

This place is a treasure inside the market hall. The food arrived a little later than planned, but the waiter very kindly compensated us with a Batida cocktail tasting. He was very kind and the food was delicious! We had the cheese Bolinha de queijo, a portion of fries, and also took two passion fruit Batida. We originally chose for the strawberry Batidas but during the tasting we loved the passion fruit, so we switched options!

These are perfect portions for sharing, and we recommend this...
