I went to this place for a quick lunch and got a bbq chicken burrito. The chicken was cooked fresh. It was hot and juicy and the flavor was nice. It was topped with fresh veggies and beans. It had a nice texture and the flavors were good as well but I think that it is a bit overpriced. I thought the portion size could have been better, other than that food was of really nice quality.
Outdoor seating is also available in the restaurant which on a sunny day is amazing. It is really nice to enjoy a nice burrito sitting in the sun. :D
Amazing flavours going on at this Brazillian street food cafe.
The grilled chicken was flame grilled and had a good char while still being awesomely tender and juicy. The marinade was a little on the salty side, but it reminded me of Asian flavours of soy and garlic.
Very refreshing with the quinoa salad.
Love this place for a hearty lunch! The prato fieto is a plate full of Brazillian treats. I have found that the BBQ chicken is the best option (cooked right there in front of you instead of out of an bain marie) along with roasted veg instead of the beans - but this is just my preference. You have a lot of options here! There is sometimes a line on a Friday but it moves super fast as they have an efficient system for getting your order sorted. Food is bursting with flavour and they do not skimp on serving size.
Yum yum yum!!! So fresh and tasty and authentic. My husband lived in Brazil for 5 years of his life and he absolutely flipped out when I took him here. He would have licked the plate clean if there was nobody watching. Such great food and service. One of our favourites.
Love to get the zucchini fritters, the salads are super fresh and there’s quite a few options to choose from. The rice and beans are nice and filling and getting the extra guac makes the meal. Also tried a coxinha for the first time, super tasty! Great lunch spot, and the staff are super friendly.

Really great value for money! A popular place for lunch as quick, relatively healthy and delicious!
We ordered 2x Prato Freito where we got to select parts of the meal. I was recommended to choose the chorizo which was very delicious with the meal. There was a variety of options to choose from and it was very filling!
We weren't sure what to order so we decided to make our own plates and move down the line, selecting various items along the way.
Firstly was some hearty beans followed by some brown rice. For protein I got their pulled beef which was really tender and juicy as well as their barbecued chicken topped with a squeeze of lemon, a tad dry however. Then the salad station where I picked out 4 random salads, their guacamole was quite zippy from the lemon juice.
Can't vouch for how authentically Brazilian it is (they had Sriracha on the tables) but it was quite healthy and filling. Beware consuming too many beans if you've got a date in the evening!
I ordered the BBQ Chicken Burrito – it's the best burrito I've ever had. The chicken was tender and beautifully barbecued – a far cry from the typical bland, dry chicken experience. Even the beans and rice were flavoursome, which I've found is rare for a burrito. They take their time, but it's worth the wait – they carefully prepare the ingredients and meticulously construct it. My friend was with me, and they managed to serve both orders at the perfect temperature. Service-wise, the owner is a lovely, hospitable man.

Delicious. Fresh. Brazilian flavours to die for, friendly service, love the canteen style, different from other eateries in the area. Have always had a good experience here.
Amazing!! The food was fantastic and really filling. Super fresh and healthy. Highly recommend the vegetarian option with the zucchini fritters, haven't had anything like that before it was a delight. The vibes are good too. Seating is indoor and outdoors. Service is really quick and easy. Be sure to beat the lunch rush though, although if you do the lines clear up fairly fast. Highly recommend!!!

i came across this place, i didn't know much about brazilian food, got good reviews here so i decided to give a go.
poped in before noon, they were still preparing croquetts in the middle of tables. i felt like trying grilled chicken feito but wasnt ready and had to wait 45min or so. (i couldn't as i was starving!)i got served by a middle age lady and she was very friendly.
i ordered half pork and meetballs with brown rice, beans, salad.
pork was very tender and juicy, meetballs was tasty, full of flavour, moist and hint of chilli was good kick. although was a bit salty for me.
brown rice was cooked very well, not hard like other places i came across!(and the lady was goinf to give me more rice but said no)
beans were nice, although a bit salty again for me.
gourcamole was good flavour, well seasoned.
potato salad tasted like japanese potato salad!!mustve used kewpie mayo.really suprised.
quinoa was well cooked, coriander salad was refreshing.
everything was very very fresh, good portion and filling!!decor is cool, good music on, friendly staff. i really enjoyed😀
Nice and simple restaurant with good flavour foods. We ordered Porco Assado and Coxinha (Brazilian Chicken Croquettes) and they tasted pretty good. The chilli sauce they had added some extra elements to their dishes. It wasn't overly spicy and just enough to make a bit of tingling sensation on your tongue. The staff were friendly too.
Fresh, nutritious, flavoursome and affordable. I'm already partial to Brazilian food, so not hard to convince me to return here! Highly recommended for cheap lunch in CBD. Be mindful it is loud in true samba style though, so probably not best for an intimate date or work meeting.
Spending a few weeks in Brazil and eating the local food will make an addict out of anyone. For a long time we've been wanting to visit B'Cos and after yesterday's dinner I can attest to the fact that the great reviews are well justified. Golden and crunchy on the outside , soft and savoury on the inside the coxinhas took me back to the canteens of Sao Paulo. My partner had the grilled chicken for her main course while I savoured beautifully falling apart carne assada with brown rice beans and a tangy quinoa salad that complimented the meaty savoury beef excellently. My primary craving though was for the Brazilian soft drink staple Guarana and when that box ticked from a well stocked fridge , my night was well complete. Consider us repeat customers!
