Full of table and chairs, this Brazilian Self-service restaurante has a great Brazilian Barbecue. All foods are well prepared and tastes good! But if ou like Brazilian barbecue ou will love this place. Many kinds of meat, chicken, steaks, lamb to choose. It's not cheap, but it worth the price. You pay what you serve. Drinks and desserts are charged separate from foods.

An elegant restaurant in Asa Sul with plenty of room for guests. We ate early and the restaurant was uncrowded. My wife and I had the baby beef, medium rare, which was tender and delicious, along with roasted diced potatoes with garlic, also excellent, along with a good salad. Our friends had the picana which they said was excellent. We had a very good Argentinian malbec, and chocolate mousse for dessert which, while good, could have been better prepared. A bit syrupy. A very good restaurant, but don't expect inexpensive prices. Fortunately, we were dining on an expense account. My wife and I plan to go back, just for the beef, succulent and well prepared, even if not on an expense account.

The place looks unpretentious and unassuming, but it's surprisingly clean (for Brazilian standards) and the staff really knows how to wait on customers. Even though it was quite crowded when I visited, my juice was prepared after only a couple of minutes and it tasted really delicious. I can't say anything about snacks, though they also looked good.

The is very well decorated and it showcase bit of the culture and food from the Northeast of Brazil. Good service, pleasant atmosphere and interesting food. However, the food is an acquired taste and not everyone will like as it can be a bit heavy greasy. Lots of butter, cheese, cassava and other traditional dishes that are unfamiliar for the majority people overseas. But definitely worth a try. Some will love, some will not but all will have a nice experience. trying the Cassava Bread and possibly taking one to eat later :)

We had booked a large table at one end of this roomy restaurant. The building has a beautiful modern sea-themed decor and is located by Lake Paranoá. There is a beautiful view. From our table we could see the JK bridge. Although some, like me, may need the support of a GPS to find the way, once you arrive the place has plenty of parking space, both indoors and outdoors. From the garage one can reach the restaurant by elevador, which makes it easier for people with limited movement capacity. Our group ordered different dishes, and I tasted the "bolinhos de macaxeira com bacalhau" and a "moqueca de frutos do mar". While the "bolinhos" were not really tasty, as I could not feel the taste of the "bacalhau" (codfish), the "moqueca" was absolutely delicious, and I'd recommend you try it. It is quite a large dish and could be shared between 2-4 people. Sharing this dish is expected, as it would be too large a dish for a single person. For desert I had a sweet of tapioca with guava. It was a slightly hard, but definitely delicious. So, by now, you're wondering about the service, which I'm going to tell you next. I do not want to get into details, but our waiter, although very friendly and accommodating, was not properly trained. I've noticed that this is, still, an issue in BrasÃlia restaurants in general. We were well received, and, initially, chose a Brazilian wine from a quite elaborate wine list. I told the waiter the wine could be slightly cooler, but he took a while until putting the remains of the first service in an ice bucket. Then, he did not take note of all orders, and some stared receiving their orders before others. While some had ended their main courses, others were still beginning it. I gently complained and the waiter answered: "That's alright! You all are having fun while waiting for the others". Wrong answer! It made me feel like I was in being served at an overcrowded beach bar during summer holidays. Finally, we chose deserts that were being advertised on the table but, according to the waiter, were not available on Saturdays. After our complaint, he was considerate enough to make arrangements to serve us those deserts and offer them to us as house compliments. One last comment is that we found the wine list awfully expensive. Wines offered in the wine list were about 3 times more expensive than their market price. I would however suggest the Valduga sparkling wine whose price is more accommodating.

The dishes are of a goos sizes, most of them in fact good for sharing. The shrimps with a hint of lime were great. Meat was tasty but some of the dishes were not that clear the description and we got something that we really dont wanted that much.

Ambience is good, service is good, food is not -- definitely too expensive for low quality. Not worth its apparent reputation of a fancy, high end resto. Seafood was overcooked (I asked for octopuss and was very disappointed). Portions are way too big (making them reasonable in size would decrease price). For that money and low quality, at least cocktail drinks should be offered. Cheers!

The place is beautiful, overlooking Paranoá Lake. The service is great and the dishes delicious. In addition to the "International Shrimp" which is the most famous (creamy rice, curd, potato chips and many shrimps) I recommend the fish with crunchy crust, mayonnaise and salad. And of course all accompanied by a coconut drink (I prefer without alcohol but has for those who like) served in coconut shells as well.

The pork loin with siriguela sauce was one of the best dishes Iâve ever had in Brazil! This spot is a true gem and worth every minute of the drive. Itâs a creative and artsy place with a nice garden and wonderful view. Iâve spent over 3 years living in Brasilia and only finally found a truly gourmet dining spot. I canât believe the main dish prices are all around R$30-R$60. We were very happy with your visit to BRASIS and even more because we were able to meet your expectation. Be always welcome. Thank you very much.
