Boteco Do Brasil in Glasgow City

Horrible, I really wanted to EAT BEANS, I immediately ordered 2 lunch boxes, 2 BOXES appeared 📦 📦, and the food arrived all mixed up in these boxes, it looked like LEAST FOOD IN A CARDBOARD BOX. Not even my dog ​​eats food like that in the way it was used by a HUMAN BEING. My grade is: DO Horrible, I really wanted to eat FEIJOADA, I immediately ordered 2 lunch boxes, 2 BOXES appeared 📦 📦, and the food arrived all mixed up in these boxes, it looked like LEFTOVER FOOD IN A CARDBOARD BOX. Not even my dog ​​eats food like this the way it arrived for a HUMAN BEING. My rating is: DISORDER

Marcita and Nick are wonderful people and very lively. The food here is amazing. Definitely a must visit if you like Brazilian food <3

Great food at affordable prices, the staff were very helpful and a great environment for drinks with friends

Food was long way above my expectations and the service was excellent. Vanessa and Marcita do an amazing job!!! The place should be a must thing to do for people who come to visit Glasgow!

Buena visita. Tenía frijoles y arroz con carne. Sabía como recuerdo. El personal era muy amable. Gracias Macita por un gran tiempo.

Boteco do Brasil has been my local bar for many years, and it never fails to impress. From the vibrant decor to the warm, welcoming atmosphere, it truly captures the heart and soul of Latin culture. This place has become a second home for me, and a big reason for that is the incredible service, especially from Marcita. She always goes above and beyond, making every visit special with her friendly demeanor and impeccable attention to detail. One of the highlights of the week at Boteco is their Tuesday Disco Night. The DJ Jill creates an electrifying vibe with an eclectic mix of disco classics and modern beats that keep the dance floor alive. It’s the perfect way to shake off the midweek blues and let loose with friends. Whether you're stopping by for their fantastic cocktails, delicious food, or simply to soak in the infectious energy, Boteco do Brasil is a must-visit spot in Glasgow. Highly recommend!

Apareció inesperadamente con un grupo de 17 / 18 personas y el personal no podría haber sido más servicial, movieron mesas a punto de reunirnos a todos y nos atendieron muy bien. La comida era increíble, muy sabrosa y con una gran relación calidad-precio. Felicitaciones extra especiales a Tesicca 😊 fue su primer día y estuvo fabulosa x

Accommodated us as a large group at short notice. Service was really efficient, staff friendly, and nothing too much trouble. I really enjoyed my seafood dish and the cocktails looked amazing!

The team was excellent last Monday, especially Marcita, who was incredibly sweet and efficient in arranging our tables and orders, even though we were a large group that day.

Tuvimos una gran noche en Boteco, la comida y el ambiente eran geniales y el servicio realmente excepcional - Marcita es una persona increíble que no podía hacer lo suficiente por nuestro grupo, e incluso tocó un poco de forró para que tuviéramos un baile!

This venue is excellent both day and night. Food is lovely, and I have never felt rushed while here. Evening are busy with lovely cocktails and brilliant drink selection. Mixture of live music and DJ sets

One of Glasgow the places that make you feel in another continent.

Atmosphere was quiet as it was a Monday tea time.

Brazilian food of very good quality, we loved it. There were several vegetarian starters, we missed a main dish. Very good atmosphere. The restaurant closes kitchen at 10:00 p.m., then it is a bar. There was live music, very nice!

Staff very nice and helpful. Amazing food!! 🤤🤤

Seated strigj away walk in, drink ordered were taken straight away and served strigh away. They had a salsa class on inside the restaurant which never onterfeard, it wasn't over busy but comfortable. We ordered our food there was a bit of a wait on our food. Food was all very nice good steak we ordered the sharer plate for 2 the steaks were plenty but the sides were pathetic, 1 little dish of beans for 2 of us and 1 tiny dish of sauce for 2 of us and we ordered cassava and again not enough for 2 people and the price was well over priced at £55 but it's to late once you've ordered and it's served. I know it sounds stupid but steak knifes were no good for cutting steak they butticherwd the mean which was tough that's a personal thing thou. Was a slight disappointment for a day out in Glasgow and overpriced but it wasn't bad food just could have been more of the little things like sauce and beans.

This place is beautiful,the staff is friendly and food taste lovely. While I won't agree it's authentic Brazilian food,it does come close and taste lovely.

Brazilian food for those who like it, I recommend it.

Great wee place, definately my go to when in Glasgow 👌💯

Ya que he viajado a Brasil muchas veces e incluso he vivido allí una vez durante un par de meses, no esperaba nada increíble. En primer lugar, el interior es agradable y luminoso - muy brasileño. Pensé en comprar la moqueca o feijoada, pero he tenido esas toneladas de veces allí, así que fui con el estilo salvadoreño Prato Baiano Xin Xin de Galinha, ya que solo estuve allí una vez durante aproximadamente una semana. Desafortunadamente era bastante soso y carente del sabor sabroso y picante que recuerdo de hace aproximadamente 2 décadas cuando lo probé allí por primera vez. Además, me parece interesante que la marca de cerveza era "Favela", que es bastante escalofriante, ya que las favelas son generalmente barrios pobres sin policía donde los más pobres de la vida pobre y la violencia armada es bastante estándar en el día a día, también conocido como no divertido.

Place is good and well designed, but there are not real Brazilian food. I ordered Vaca atolada and they mixed ribs with other kind of meat. And picanha is not even top quality of rump steak. They don’t even speaks portuguese. Although is clean and friendly stuff. My rate is neutral 😐

The food and staff are really good, the price of the food is worth it for the taste. Thanks

The restaurant is good, large, and well-decorated. Ordering was quick, and the service was good. The staff are friendly, but it took a while for the food to arrive. The food was very tasty; I had the feijoada and coxinhas. The prices are a bit high for what you get, but overall, I recommend this restaurant.

A great bar with a beautiful garden! The food was extremely delicious! The staff (both girls) were super friendly and accommodating. We will be back definitely. :)

Had a really great meal here yesterday using the tapas and cocktail deal available on their booking system. Amazing variety of tapas and thoroughly enjoyed all of them - great value for money. I've also eaten mains here before which were lovely! The atmosphere is cool and staff are friendly. Will definitely be back soon

Best Late Night Bar in Scotland. Friendly staff, amazing music, great friendly atmosphere.

A thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. Quality food, good portion sizes and extremely pleasant and helpful staff. I'll be a regular customer.

Each visit has made me smile! Had excellent service from staff.

Great service and lovely food for a work meeting and watching the football. Marcita was the best host!

Enjoyed our lunch here, good price, good service thank you 😊

The staff is very attentive but the food does not feel fresh.

I have been in here a few times as the Cocktails are really nice, with the June Bug being the best of the lot. I havent tried any food as of yet but it always looks really nice. The table service can be a little slow at times but it's not an excessive wait at all. I was in on Saturday, just my wife and i but we really enjoyed the live entertainment on offer. The band were doing there thing and the woman singing was amazing in her Rio carnival style outfit. We enjoyed it even more so as it didn't feel like you were in Glasgow you could pretend you were away somewhere for the few hours we spent in Boteco. I will be back as it is a go to when we have a night out in Glasgow and i intend on trying the food next time also.

Good food, good service, awful music…

Great food, great atmosphere, really enjoyed ourselves

The service is good and the place is coll. I would recommend there for drinks. I ordered a portion of "coxinhas" and it was far from resembling brazilian seasoning.. It was a pitty

Such a cute place, nice music, brilliant staff and affordable prices with great portions! Would recommend amd visit again

Part of the best atmosphere ever, the food in this place it's just amazing. Seafood dishes are simply outstanding! Today I had the best burger in my life- everything fresh and home made, including bun. Compare to other restaurants it's not expensive at all. Just a place worth to go. Always 5 stars from me.

Great food, great ambiance, great service, and great fun

Decent enough I thought it was a bit pricey for 2 cheeseburgers and chips and the beers were a bit expensive.Friendly and the service was 👍

Vino a cenar temprano con bebidas. Tuvimos 3 tapas y lado con una bebida a base de ron. Personal amable y servicial. Comida un poco grasienta un poco agradable

We came here while passing by for some food in the evening and were pretty disappointed. I have a gluten intolerance, and there were only two mains I could have on the printed menu - but on the website more options are advertised as gluten free via an icon, such as the feijoada. So it was all a bit confusing and I really wanted the feijoada, but when I asked our server she just referred me to the menu and didn't seem to know anything about it. The lack of knowledge and options is surprising as Brazilian cuisine is generally pretty good for gluten free options. I had the prato baiano which had small cubed bits of gristly chicken in it, and my partner had a burger that wasn't particularly good. The atmosphere wasn't great as some band was setting up the whole time we were there, so no music or atmosphere. We wouldn't come back.

Good food and drinks. Good time with family. Kitchen open late on till 10 pm Sunday. Thanks Marcita.

Excellent all round experience. Food was fantastic. If you are looking for something different, unique and very tasty, this is the place to be.

Fabulous food and service, presented with a smile. Marcita was attentive and made sure everything is perfect. I had picanha which i highly recommend.

Marcita is a great host and makes the best cocktails North of Manchester! Amazing mojitos if you haven't you must try one! I'll be coming back and spreading the word to more colleagues. The food was great too and feels very authentic. A*

Marcita is an absolute beauty Iván is attentive and both were very nice hosts, music is really good and the food was delicious.

We are Brazilians and we were dying to eat Brazilian food, and we found this bar. It was wonderful!!! The best meal we ate during our trip here in the UK. The picanha is extremely tender and delicious. The dish serves 2 adults well. I highly recommend it!! The music in the place is a little loud, but the food is very good.

Great food - tasty and the £4 tapas was a nice deal. Marcita gave us attentive service.

6 ladies visiting celebrating a birthday had a lovely meal staff super helpful and attentive. Great music and dancing. Would recommend for a fun night!

Superb food and great service despite the challenge presented by the crowds of football fans outside

Waiter is not professional and toi long waiting for just a double expresso

Lots of people sitting outside so decided to give it a try. Wish we hadn’t bothered. Three of us had the steak dish. Very cheap cuts of meat, all three were tough and all cooked to different tastes. The staff didn’t pay us much attention either. Sorry won’t be back and wouldn’t recommend it. The whole place is a bit tired and no atmosphere

They don’t actually play brazilian music 😕 Decepção

Delicious food, very friendly staff and amazing drinks. Best mojito i’ve ever had Marcita and her colleagues were awesome and so fun Definitely recommend

Absolutely delicious vaca atolada (beef stew) great portion size. I was stuffed after. Friendly staff, open late. Fantastic!

Amazing food. Platter has plenty of options and portions good size. You also have to try the cocktail's

Best place for a night of Cuban salsa

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

Lovely meal! Could sit and eat the rice that came with my steak all day!

Visited on the 1st anniversary of our first date. Thoroughly enjoyed last year but sadly can’t say the same this year. Placed in a small corner facing a wall. Only one bottle of red wine on the menu and it was awful. Had to ask for glasses chicken meal was full of fat and tasted of fish. Only positive of the night was a chat with the Spanish waitress in Spanish who I had a lovely conversation with last time around. She is a credit.

Best picanha I've ever eaten outside of Brazil. You can see in the photo the level of this huge dish. 🥩🍖🍻 *Order serves 2 or more people!

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 🫶🏼

Everyhting was lovely to be honest. The servers we had were absolute sweethearts and super helpful. The food was nice, the feijoada could have a bit more flavour (salt/pepper/more spices or herbs), to be exactly like the brazilian one though. As a portuguese, we're used to good brazilian and portuguese food (which has many similarities), so we usually expect more flavour and love our food salty! The salgados (salty pastries) were lovely though (rissois, coxinha, and pao de queijo). Good job. The lulas (calamari) lacked flavour, shame because the seasoning was great. The brigadeiros were lovely, good job. The cocktails were perfect, great Caipirinha, definitely bringing my brazilian and portuguese family and friends there next time ;). Overall, great experience, would come back.

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 !

Food was disappointing, the venue wasn't very clean. Although the waiters were nice and friendly, there were only two of them. They kept messing up our orders and the bill multiple times. I will go somewhere else next time.

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!

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!

We had a good time, lovely service, small plates a bit expensive

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

We arrived at 1900 - we still hadn’t been served any food (not even bread and nibbles) by 2020 - and were told our food would possibly be ready in a further 10-15 minutes. We pointed out how abysmal the service and restaurant was - and left for a really excellent meal at Gaucho’s in Glasgow - which luckily had a free table on Valentines night. The man on the table next to us in this awful restaurant sent his steak back twice as it was inedible! A woman told us she had been waiting with her partner for longer than us for food… way to ruin Valentine’s night for all! Do NOT go here EVER!!!!!!!!

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

tried the tapas, quick service, and a delightful mixture of flavours. The deserts were superb.

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

Good cheap lager and nice music

We were able to book a table easily esp for a busy weekend night which is good. The staff were welcoming; they made a table ready for us relatively quickly, the meal was prepared to perfect temperature and didn’t take too long to come out. One thing I wasn’t overly keen on was the music being too loud; the volume was more akin to a nightclub instead of a restaurant, making us shout at the top our voices just to have a conversation over dinner.

Very accommodating for a last minute booking of 16 people. Food was really good, atmosphere was amazing

Mains were better than starters . Picanha steak order got mixed up but they sorted it out . Bathrooms need a refurbishment .

Wonderful food, really felt authentic as several portugese speakers chatting away. Loved the food especially when they explained how best to eat the feijoada that I ordered. Will definitely go back.

Un poco de comida latina en glasgow

All good....................................,......

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

As always a great atmosphere with a warm welcome from the staff and top class food !

Fantastic food and great staff making our experience memorable

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