| - Ever since I heard Minas was a thing, I'd been meaning to check it out for lunch as I work downtown. Finding someone to go with me was like pulling teeth - everyone wanted a lighter option, and I can't blame them for that. I ended up booking off 2 hours on a Friday for lunch and found myself a willing partner in crime, and off we went!
The atmosphere of the restaurant was a really perfect blend between classy and comfortable - after all, I would hate to have to be on my best behavior whilst stuffing my face with meat. The décor was a good match and the spacing of the tables wasn't too tight.
All meals come with the buffet sides. The buffet sides selection was effectively a full buffet, with proteins, veggies, salads, and dessert. They even did a pretty cool sashimi style (Sweet soy?) cured salmon, which was awesome. Even that alone would be a good time, but for an extra 4-5$, why not get the full rodizio, eh?
The meat was excellent - my favourite was the parm beef and the garlic beef, followed closely by the lamb. My least favourite were the sausages. Overall though, it was all really really great - service is prompt and the pace is very suitable.
It was definitely at least a 1.5 hr affair, and I was definitely a bit snoozy when I got back to the office, but for $23, this was awesome!
I'd definitely come again soon - if I can scrounge up another person for a weekday lunch indulgence.
