| - So I live and work in Brazil and I know my Brazilian steakhouses. However, this place is not even close to it. There are places in the US (Fogo de Chao, Texas de Brazil, etc) that are a lot better so instead of comparing this churrascaria to a place in Brazil, I'll compare it to one in the US.
I came here with my Brazilian girlfriend for her first time in Canada and I wanted to try this place with her to see if it is actually similar to in Brazil. So we came here along with a friend to try it out.
Let's start with the service. Terrible. Our waitress would stand at one end of the table, reach over to take the plates, pour wine, etc. Instead of walking around the table, she would reach over me as I'm eating to pour wine for my girlfriend. When the meat boys came with the meat, they would stand at one end and make my girlfriend reach over me to get the slice of meat instead of walking next to her so that she could get it. No restaurant should ever do this. This is just terrible service. Also, when our plates started getting dirty, they did not bring new clean ones for us. We had to ask for new plates. They then immediately took our plates away even if we had meat still on it.
Now onto the food. They have a very limited selection of meat. They cooked the filet like the way they should have cooked the picanha. The picanha should have been cooked like the way they cooked the filet. They sliced the filet like they should have done it with the picanha and vice versa. They pretty much messed up the way they cooked and served the meats here. None of the churrascaria's in the US did it the way they do it here which is wrong. They also have quite a bit of meats that had fat pieces of cheese oozing out. Ok. I personally don't like cheese with meats but that is just a personal preference. Others may like it. However, not all of the cheese was melted. Some of it was hard. Almost as if it had been sitting out for a little too long.
There were only 2 dishes that I actually enjoyed. The garlic steak and the roasted pineapple covered with cinnamon. Besides those two, everything else was terrible. When the dessert came, we ordered the flan. This turned out to be absolutely disgusting. It may look like flan but it was the worst flan I had ever eaten in my life. Granted that I can get some good flan in Brazil but even the places in the US make them properly. The flan here was too creamy and absolutely nasty.
On service alone, I would never come back. Even if the food was good, the service was so bad that it would not be worth going back. But thankfully, I can say that the food was just as bad as the service. There are better places to eat meat in Toronto and this is not one of them. I will never be coming back and will make sure to tell everyone not to come back here. Someone needs to open up a Fogo de Chao in Toronto to show Copocabana Brazilian Steak House how real Brazilian food is done.
