Boteco Do Brasil in Glasgow City

Great Bar and Restaurant. Staff are all so friendly and welcoming. The best cocktails in Glasgow! Really lively place in the evenings, lots of dancing and exotic experiences await anyone entering! I will be coming back and bringing more coworkers.

Atendimento maravilhoso muito bom !!!! Atendimentes gentis fui muito bem recebido muito bem recepcionado estou muito feliz e super grato com o atendimento

Love nights out in Boteco, always a great atmosphere at night, best place in city centre for a dance 💃🏼, music is my favourite. The staff are lovely. Food is 10/10. If you are looking for that Latin atmosphere or just a great place to socialise and dance definitely come here. Unfortunately my mobile was stolen on Saturday night, but Marcita was brilliant and helped to very quickly get back my mobile cannot thank her enough!!! She was very sweet and helpful thanks again Marcita 🫶🏼

I should have given this place a 5 star but the black bouncer was terrible it seems like he hate seen his fellow black man in that place he was very terrible I think he needs more education on how to be a good bouncer for a place like that but apart from that Botega is always a good place to be

Avoid the "caipirinha and 3 tapas" deal at all costs. First, the caipirinha wasn't the real deal. The cachaça had been swapped out for vodka. I know my caipirinha from my caipiroska. Of the 6 tapas we chose between us, one was passable. I wouldn't touch the chicken or calamari/squid - the appearance said it all. Staff are friendly enough, no complaints there. Finally, the waitress who brought over the bill at the end (not our waitress) asked us three times to leave a review here - so I've obliged.

the atmosphere was very vibrant, and the drinks were deliciousz I had a mojito and a burger, my server Lana was very welcoming, the service made this experience fantastic! David

Dinner & Salsa dancing on Wednesday nights. Staff really attentive, polite and friendly👍 opted for the tapas option eith a cocktail which was good value

Great bar, love the music and the atmosphere. Friendly staff, fantastic cocktails.

Came in last monday with my friends for some Brazilian tapas and some cocktails our server scarlett absolutely blew us away she was truly amazing

Bad service, rude and unprofessional employees...during dinner they turned off the lights😔😔😔

Food was tasteless and a tiny portion for £18. A total rip-off.

What a place. Came into a band playing and people dancing. Fantastic. Drinks were great just a nice place overall

Average food, average service. The prices are reasonable and its normal that 'you get what you pay for', but there are many better restaurants with similar prices.

First time customers but will not be visiting again. Poor service. Avoid tapas menu at all costs! Overpriced and very poor quality - beef was tough whilst there did not appear to be any fish in the fish cakes. Overall tasteless !

I took advantage of the Monday tapas deal and enjoyed a delicious dinner with my friend accompanied by well-made cocktails. The service was fantastic and there was a fun, relaxed atmosphere. I would 100% recommend! I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Food from the north of Brazil, partly revisited and very tasty. The staff are very friendly and everyone is friendly and quick, it's a great choice for a cocktail or a meal if you're in the center of Glasgow!

Not been in a while, had fantastic drinks. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere even though it wasn't busy.

Everything was good! Delicious food, great atmosphere, large selection of alcohol and beer, great decor ❤️

Great music, reasonable drinks, awesome atmosphere, funny bouncers. One of my favourite clubs in Glasgow.

Good cheap lager and nice music

Un poco de comida latina en glasgow

Drinks were great. Staff friendly and helpful Food was horrendous, extremely over priced of what we got. We ordered tapas, got 4small bits of beef and and the chicken was even worse it looked like it had been fried 3 times, there was little to no chicken on the bone. Worst food I’ve had in Glasgow, I ordered this at 5:30 pm which is prime time for food so there’s no excuse for what we received

Very welcoming and chearfull staff. Nice ambience would recommend. Good place to visit. Enjoyed a good Brazilian burger and a nice pint of Brazilian bear.

Worst New Years 2023 experience ever. We didn’t have any drugs on us and yet they falsely accused us, they body searched us, two people from Black, Asian, and minority ethnicity (BAME) , without have any substantial evidence. Due to our intersectional identities, we believe we were racially profiled and then searched during their Hogmanay Party- Latin Connection 2023 . The body search was ineffective as we were two students from two prominent university in Scotland and have nothing to hide. I guess we were taken aback as we did not expect to experience institutional racism and bias from a place like Boteco Glasgow. I was also inappropriately touched by the female security during the body search process which was traumatising .

We were 3 people, 2 women and a man, we ordered the Picanha “FAMILY” dish. Because the name is family, we thought it would feed at least 3 people, but as soon as the food arrived we were surprised, it was extremely small to the point of barely eating 2 people, with very little rice and meat. As soon as we finished eating (the little food we had) we called management to question the quantity, the person in charge was trying to explain that the dish was for 2 people (note: there was nothing written on the menu or the quantity), and which, considering the price and the name, doesn't make any sense, he also said that it had 1kg of picanha, but I've been to several Brazilian restaurants and I know that it didn't even have 700g, besides the salad looking like a joke, it didn't even have 20g as you can see in the photo below. Apart from the small amount of food and lack of desire to solve the client's problem, the food is extremely tasty.

Had the tapas which was a fantastic deal and lovely food and choices. Staff were lovely and friendly. Would definitely go again

Slow but friendly service, food was ok, not the best Brazilian in town. Won't rush back.

The food was terrible, unfortunately. Tapas were overcooked and tasteless. Got a beef main, the beef was ok, but the sauce, potatoes and rice not so good. Cheesecake was terrible, didn't taste like cheesecake and £7 for a slice. Service was great, the ladies serving were fab. Unfortunately, the food lets the place down massively, and if you're not getting the tasteless tapas deal, it's expensive to eat in.

Firstly the staff were lovely The tapas are mouthfuls and not very nice the halloumi skewers only had mini bits and mostly veg the beef was inedible and had to cut the rind of the cheap bernand Matthew’s smoked sausage which I’m sure isn’t from Brazil ! The drinks didn’t come but they added them to the bill and the cocktail was just a drink a juice ! Ended up getting a Chinese which was nice though after it as I was starving

Pre gig dinner....it was very good and the staff were excellent.Had the fish stew and and it was an unexpected but good experience

We arrived for an early dinner (6.30pm) and were briefly the only customers. However, the welcome was warm and friendly and the service throughout was excellent. The staff are really lovely here, but also efficient and knowledgeable about the food. The food we had (a mix of Brazilian and European) was all declared delicious by myself and my 2 colleagues. The atmosphere was fairly subdued when we arrived, but by the time we left, you could tell it probably gets quite lively later on. The music was an amusing Brazilian version of traditional Christmas songs which was fun. This is not a "romantic dinner" sort of venue BTW as there are two big tv screens on the wall, which were showing sports when we arrived. It looks like it converts to more of a music venue later in the evenings. Would definitely return.

came in for dinner with my family and had a wonderful young scottish girl serve us made our experience that much better she was brilliant !!!!!! music and food is also great,will be back

Scarlett was lovely and friendly, very attentive. Food and service was delicious and speedy, the caipininhas were phenomenal too.

Didn’t book a table. Only place with availability on Saturday night. Ordered drinks, they came after the meal after chasing the staff a few times. Work colleague had chicken burger. They call it crispy, which means dry. Other member of the party had a pizza. Looked like pizza from Aldi. I had 3 tapas dishes. Plantain was soggy, chicken was undercooked and only 4 prawns in the chilli dish. The tapas plates came out minus a plate to eat from. Restaurant was busy but that’s not an excuse for being slack or disorganised. Had an upset stomach after eating the grey chicken tapas. Overall, filled a hole but won’t be back.

ok so booked a table for 2 overall the food was lovely but ordered a steak platter medium rare when it arrived it was a tad over cooked quite tough to cut and chewy also the table we sat at was small and very hard to manouvre the plates on the table could have done with a larger table for 2

Loved the vibe with the samba dancers!

Always great here, first time eating and it didn't disappoint

What a cracking bar. Food is absolutely amazing. Had a Burger today that Will never be beating. So good had me doing a jig in my chair 😂 100% top class service from the moment we went in to when we left cant wait to go back thank you so much guys ye were amazing

Herausragend nette Leute, hundefreundlich und super Essen und Getränke 👍👍

Excellent like I ate a hamburger it was very good compliments to the chef The service very good

As a Brazilian, I really recommend this place. The food is incredible.

Great night. Food was amazing. Atmosphere was top class. Took friends from Ireland and decided to try it for the first time and we will be back.

Lovely little bar with great service with nice and accommodating bar staff.

I had a great time at Boteco Do Brasil, a lively, cosy, colourful and beautiful restaurant Bar that serves Brazilian food. The food was delicious and authentic, especially the rice and beans dish, I forgot the name, but I remember ordering it twice the first time I visited... it was just delicious to say the least. However, the second time I decided to try this instead and downed two random cocktails because why not? But they were refreshing and strong, just how I like it. Their staff were just excellent, very welcoming and helpful with a lot of patience… I needed a lot of help to choose something haha. I happened to be there the day they had the love and playing, and it fantastic I was entertained. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun and tasty experience.

Una muy buena opción para comer algo por el centro de Glasgow. La hamburgues de Roast beef muy recomendable.

Muito agradável , comida boa e bem temperada, caipirinha muito bem feita, é pet frendly, super recomendo

The best place to dance with fantastic food and very friendly staff . ❤️

Ordered two mains. 1 arrived 20 mins later the other still hadn't appeared. Cancelled it and asked for bill. Offered free drinks but we were not in the mood. Said they would discount bill and they didn't. The meal we did get was just ok. I wouldn't go back. Despite that the waiting staff were decent enough.

Never tried food, but drinks are nice, atmosphere and music always makes you want to dance

Amazing place to eat drink and have fun with friends! Great atmosphere, affordable drinks and all the vibes of a South American stylish bar. Often shows sports events also live music and lots of Latin vibes for shake you up and living la Vida loca! Friendly happy staff Kids and families also very welcome !! A gem at Merchant city centre.

Food was very tasty, service excellent.

Don't mind Boteco for a wee late night drink but the bouncers are awful. Was in with my partner the other night and one of the bouncers kept making rude comments towards us such as "we're watching you on CCTV as you make out". Gross behavior. Should get something done about that.

Went in for some drinks on a Sunday evening and then ended up having some brazilian tapas which tasted good. It was not very busy..possibly because it was a Sunday. The lady who attended us was fantastic. Took orders quickly, told us about the tapa offer and had a quick chat with us to find out if we had enjoyed the meal. There was good music playing and it was just at the right level...not too loud. In all I plan to go back for a proper main meal

Love the salsa staff are amazing

Ótimo atendimento. Excellent service, pleasant atmosphere.

Nights at Boteco are pretty wild. Drinks and staff are very good but always seemed to have police outside later on at night. Sad because would be a class wee venue if they didn't get so much riffraff

We came here for a couple of drinks and decided to try the food. Absolutely no regrets!!! The food was incredible, tapas were tasty and the steak sizzling! We were served by Tania - unbelievable service, friendly, rapid, she gave us great advice for the rest of our trip around Glasgow. Recommend this place if you found yourself around Trongate!! If you do, ask for Tania!

Had booking for 6 and we got there half an hr earlier. Didn’t disappoint at all they let us in and out table was ready for thank you for that. Food was great I am afraid I can’t say the names but the steak and beef with beans tasted so great. Fish cake tapa’s definitely recommend! The cocktail menu was great I enjoyed my strawberry daiquiri. Service was just satisfying, food is quick and good so are drinks. Thank you for your service.

Staff are lovely, cosmopolitan, unique 👍

On arrival I experienced a very welcoming and friendly member of staff. The food was excellent with very generous portions and being able to eat outside was an added bonus. Thoroughly recommend

Absolutely cannot fault this bar/restaurant. The food was really good and the service cannot be faulted nothing was too much trouble and service with a smile goes a long way. Top notch service from Marcita and Katy. Excellently priced too so all in all couldn't have been better

Had visited boteco with some friends for a get together, the food and service was great! Couldn’t fault our experience at all. We were served by our waitress Mia who was so friendly and attentive to us, would definitely return !

Had been to a few places in Glasgow but this place was by far the best. Staff so friendly, great atmosphere & drinks were actually great prices I think just over £3 for a vodka and right in city centre. Will defos be back x

Myself and my husband booked through 5pm and got a great deal on 2 courses and a glass of wineThere was lots of choice on the menu and the food was first class !!The staff were so friendly and attentive especially our waitressHighly recommended and we will definitely be back

Awful customer service, bad food and definitely not Brazilian, at least not up to Brazilian standard. The vase in our table had cigaret bits and chewing gum. The waitress was very dry - almost rude. The food was more than disappointing. Will never return.

Not a great experience overall, the chargrilled steak and onion tapas starter was so salty it was inedible and the chicken thighs starter had no flavour whatsoever. The service was a bit confusing, I think we had 3 servers in total, all of which I wasn't sure they actually worked there in the first instance due to their attire; baggy hoodie and leggings and another had gym wear on - very strange. The mains we ordered were the chicken burger and beef burger respectively which were very plain and nothing to write home about. Meh all round and was unhappy to pay 25 for the food.

service was really slow [one drink in two hours]. But our server near the end,paula, was really nice and helpful

Lovely as always ♥️ food was amazing, the caipirinhas were a bit watery because it had too much ice, but besides that, everything was perfect. The Brazilian waitress was not very friendly but Virginia, the other waitress was just lovely and made our boteco experience even better we would definitely come back and enjoy more cocktails and nice food when the weather is a bit better ♥️ extra thank you to Virginia! ✨ Great customer service!

Had a lovely dinner at Boteco - our waitress Jo went above and beyond to make sure two of us got the dinner we wanted! Lovely food and drinks, would recommend. A class night :) (thanks to Jo)

I’ve come here since the bars have opened, jo is a great server, the drinks are great and the vibes are good. I also love John the security man he is gas !

Great friendly atmosphere. Fab choice of gluten free dishes. 12 slow cooked beef melted in mouth/fell off bone. Corn fed chicken thai dish a little bland needed more flavor however very nicely presented and fresh ingredients used. Only negative comment is the waitress was wearing literally gym gear. Made us feel uncomfortable not sure where to look (cropped top / tight leggings) inappropriate for a restaurant.

The young waitress went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. However they forgotten that after 8 pm we couldnt sit inside and they made it very clear for us that we should leave which was understanble.Food wasnt very good but very nice place to sith and have a drink

Went today for lunch. Felt a bit out of sorts as it was my first visit. "You can sit over there" - I had to ask for clarity as there was a whole restaurant of tables. The music was banging like a club. It was at least Brazilian. Wrong drinks came. The staff were unfriendly to a person who came in and asked to use the toilet.I understand all of this is minimal but I just didn't feel comfortable, nor did I want to spend my money there. We left.We can try the food on a take away basis but not keen to return.

Qué noche tan increíble como siempre. Incluso en estos tiempos difíciles, las reglas y regulaciones se cumplieron y aún así lo pasamos muy bien. El lugar es muy auténtico, pero lo que lo convirtió en una experiencia destacada fue el barman Marcita. La alegría y el buen rollo se esparcieron por todos lados. Gracias por hacer de la noche algo especial.S

Obrigada Elena pelo ótimo atendimento. Uma ótima tarde em um lugar muito amigável. Super recomendo..

1st Time Trying Here ,Food Was Lovely & Also Great Customer Service , Will Definetly Be Back 😊 Very Easy To Get To Located In Glasgow City Centre , Staff Very Welcoming & Friendly 😊

Llevamos unos 10 años comiendo en Boteco, probando de todo, desde vales, 17h, almuerzos y ofertas de tapas, ya que siempre hay algo interesante. Fue realmente un placer volver después de 4 meses de protección, especialmente con el programa Eat Out, extendido a lo largo de septiembre. Disfrutamos de los mejores mariscos asequibles de la ciudad y el postre del día siempre tiene un toque diferente. El servicio es amable y eficaz. ¡Volveremos mañana por más!

Visitamos el domingo y el servicio de mesa brindado por Marcita fue de primera clase. Ella fue muy atenta y amable, asegurándose de que nunca hubiera una gran demora en esperar a que le sirvieran. Noté que ella brindaba este nivel de servicio a todos sus clientes.Con el nivel de servicio brindado por Marcita y su trato amigable con los clientes, no pasará mucho tiempo antes de que visite el Boteco Do Brasil nuevamente.

Came today for lunch and the food and service was outstanding, beautiful lunch date with my mum everything was cooked to perfection

Tuve un almuerzo increíble con amigos de Brasil, Colombia y Escocia. Comimos feijoada y picanha. La comida era simplemente deliciois. Las bebidas hechas con Marcita fueron increíbles, todos mis amigos quieren volver la semana que viene para el almuerzo o la cena. Las camareras son muy amables y serviciales, todas ellas en Aishari especial. Gracias Marcita y Aihari por el gran servicio que brindan en Boteco do Brasil, haciéndonos sentir como en casa a los brasileños y a los extranjeros sorprendidos con la gran hospitalidad y servicio.

Just wonderful experience all the time I go there I feel I'm in Brazil, Marcita cocktails is the best in Glasgow, good food and nice atmosphere, congratulations for your hospitality and your lovely staff's.

Been a pleasure to come to this pub Good drinks and Grace offer a top service Every time I can I always pop in Boteco do Brazil

Grace service is wonderful and super friendly and attentive, I can guarantee that I will be back more often ❤️😱

A nice place...the food is amazing. And the staff Graciete she's so friendly and professional. She always answers our questions very patient and she gives an advice about the food and drinks. I really recommend.

First time for a meal since lockdown. Me and my friends we just loved the meal. we are planning to return maybe next week or a week after. Great costumer service from Gracy who always made sure that we had everything on the table.

We came here on Monday as we came from Liverpool to visit Glasgow and the Highlands for my husband's 40th birthday.We saw this place still had the Eat Out Promotion and we came in for this celebration.We were served by Grace, an amazing girl that made us feel comfortable and safe at all times!She recommended for us the brigadeiro as a desert and it was amazing!Unfortunately we are not in Glasgow anymore, but we are definitely coming here to try this amazing Brazilian food and to see Grace again!Thank you Grace for making a memorable lunch for us!

I had an amazing experience in boteco, my husband is brasilian and is the first time I try brasilian food. One of the waitresses was so helpful her name is grace she took time to explain me the dishes. Boteco have a great atmosphere no music but as the waitress explain is because of this COVID 19 pandemic but the service was great and we will be back.

Locale molto carino, il personale eccellente, molto cordiale e sorridente, ti mette a proprio agio! Anche il cibo e buono, direi che è se tornassi un gg a Glasgow sarebbe la mia tappa fissa! Ma fissa....

Very efficient you see and choose what you want and you can have more if you want it I certainly had sufficient and reasonably priced as well. Love it! Marcia was great!

I’m a regular costumer I always come to boteco is a great place for cocktails and food. This time I brought my family and they love it, they was a little afraid because they never had brasilian food, one of staff member I don’t remember her name but she is black (I’m not racist just to make clear ) long brades blond and black she was amazing she explain to my family every single dish she was so paciente. The place have a good atmosphere and definitely we will be back

Was in here for drinks with friends on a Sunday afternoon, even with social distancing there was still a nice buzz about the place with couples and family’s. The table service was great we were served by Marcita who was very attentive and friendly making sure our glasses weren’t empty, we will definitely be back

The food took quite a while to come out and 7 out of the 8 tapas were cold. Thankfully they were tasty, but chorizo is always tasty so......

I have been many times at BOTECO DO BRASIL GLASGOW...and for sure its always the best way to beat the homesickwell the staff its very is very kind and helpful,working with that beautiful smile and energy...the manager Marcita its a icon from the place still more bright,give us attention and its always around to check if all is alrightthe food its delicious...i used to ask the most of times coxinhas for start but i can recomend the most of dishes...but to be honest normally i asked the same....feijoada cause this fullfil me wonderfulthe atmosphere looks like A DAY IN BRAZIL...delicous music and happiness around...during the day they used to play bossa nova but at night the place gets hot with samba ...thats super cooli really love the place and every time i past by glasgow i back to my favorite spot everthank you guys to make me feel so pleasentthe atmospher

(Home delivery during covid) The best deliveroo I’ve ever had. Well presented, restaurant standard food. Came warm and tasted as delicious as it looked. The starters/tapas were great, especially the shrimp and the casava beef. Mains were full of flavour! Would love to try this restaurant in person

We came across this bar/restaurant as we were looking for somewhere to have drinks. This seemed to be the busiest place at the time, around 6:30pm to where we got dropped off in the taxi. The waitress was lovely and very attentive. On the menu it was £2 Gin and Tonic- of course I was going to make use of that! It was also Bombay Sapphire I believe too.We wasn't intending of eating here, however, after seeing the food menu and also on Monday how all tapas were £3, we cancelled oue booking elsewhere and ate here instead. Between the two of us we got 6 tapas and also some cajun chips. This was more than enough. Our favourites were the mussels! After 5 drinks and the food the bill came out at £33 which was great value for money.Definitely come here if you love a bargain and nice food.

From booking to on the evening staff were fantastic. Venue was lively and great atmosphere. We were a mixed group but everyone loved their night

Staff was very courteous and understood how to deal with customers very well, food delicious, cocktails amazing!! Strongly recommended

Bought a voucher for a 3 course meal. First course (no choice) was 5 olives between 2 people! We asked to follow this with a starter and main instead of a main and dessert, to be told that this would cost another £4 - even though starters and desserts cost the same. A rip-off. Avoid.

I took a friend to lunch and bought a Groupon for our visit. The voucher said starters were bread and olives to share. Well when it arrived we were both gobsmacked at what we got. In a tiny ramekin there were 4 olives and the same size ramekin next to it were about 6 1x1 inch bread knots which were smaller than the olives and balsamic and olive oil dip.!!!! TO SHARE really!!! The main course we both chose the black bean stew. Taste was OK but the pork was not PORK, it was pieces of solid fat and there must have been about 5 pieces in mine alone. Looking at the picture of the portion size is a joke compared to what we got. Only thing that was good was the dessert. The wine and prosecco amount was also miniscule. I doubt I will be back as we went somewhere afterwards because we were still hungry.
