What customers say?

“ 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 place for lunch. ”

“ Loved everything about this place. The two men who worked there were super helpful and guided us with our ordering. The location in the food hall in Gaia is awesome and super fun. The food was fantastic! We got two starters - the cheese bread and the sausages - both of which were amazing. We shared one of the main plates (black bean stew with sausage, kale, rice) and it was delicious. We will definitely be coming back! ”

“ 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 coming here. ”
