It is a very special place different from many others in Brasilia. The deko is very funky like a theater or something like that. Different styles combient with good and cosy illumination. The waiters are quick and friendly. The food was very good and the winecard has many options. The music is on a good level so you can have a conversation without talking loud. We really liked the place.

A great surprise. Nice dishes, food came right away... no longer than 20 minutes. Very good combination of ingredients. Very honest price. One of the best options in Brasília today. But, since nothing is perfect, the reservation can be improved a lot. At the telephone they were not friendly at all. We had a disabled senior citizen in our group and they simply refused to make a reservation without a reasonable explanation.

Fausto & Manoel

Reviewed By Eduardo P

This a place to be and cellebrate with friends and significant ones. They normally accept reservations for half of the seats, so unless you book in advance you will not be able to seet near the windows and enjoy an explendid view of the lake. Nevertheless, the food an service are very good. Expect a very crowded place towards the end of the week.

Lake's Restaurante

Reviewed By EdSimone

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.

Coco Bambu Lago Sul

Reviewed By Ckerstinlellis

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 I’ve ever had in Brazil! This spot is a true gem and worth every minute of the drive. It’s a creative and artsy place with a nice garden and wonderful view. I’ve spent over 3 years living in Brasilia and only finally found a truly gourmet dining spot. I can’t 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.
