Boteco Restaurant
About This Spot
Stepping into Boteco Restaurant on International Drive, you’re greeted by a relaxed yet thoughtfully vibrant atmosphere that invites you to pause and savor the moment. The space balances the warmth of a neighborhood spot with a subtle energy that hints at the spirited flavors that await on the plate. Whether you choose to dine inside or settle onto the welcoming patio, the pace here encourages you to linger—chatting, enjoying the company around you, and discovering Brazilian culture beyond just the food.
The heart of Boteco lies in its authenticity, with each dish offering more than just flavor—it brings a story. The aromas of rich spices, slow-cooked stews, and wood-fire grilled meats mingle comfortably, promising a genuine taste of Brazil. Meals often arrive as a shared experience, a celebration of communal dining that pairs perfectly with attentive, warm service. It’s a place where thoughtful gestures—like welcoming your dog with a fresh bowl of water—create an easy connection between staff and guests, making you feel part of something a little more personal than a typical restaurant visit.
Families find a special kind of ease here, too. With a corner thoughtfully designed for children, parents can relax while little ones stay naturally entertained. The food, too, reflects this friendliness—options that adapt to different tastes and needs, making it an accessible gateway to South American cuisine, whether you’re trying Brazilian classics for the first time or returning as a devoted fan.
As the afternoon fades into evening, the mood shifts subtly. It becomes a cozy nook to enjoy casual drinks and share plates, with flavors that stay long after the last bite. Boteco isn’t just a meal—it’s a place to reconnect, explore new tastes, and leave with a quiet sense of discovery, wrapped in the warmth of genuine hospitality.

We had a wonderful experience at Boteco. The food was excellent. The traditional fish dish and the steak sandwich were both delicious. Dessert was a highlight as well. The banana with ice cream was amazing. The service was outstanding. We sat on the patio with our dog and Gabriel was incredibly welcoming and attentive. He even brought water for our dog, which we truly appreciated. Great food, warm service, and a very pet friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Wonderful find! Great place to experience Brazilian cuisine. Prompt and friendly service surrounded by a clean and crisp dinning area that offers outside dining. Reasonably priced Churrasco Misto for 2 was a huge hit. Staff explained their menu and made suggestions, quickly gained our trust and allowed us to submerge ourselves into an array of flavors and spices. We will definitely be back!

10/10 highly recommend! Everything was so delicious and authentic. Gabriel was such a great host/waiter and took great care of us. This was my first experience eating Brazilian food and I'm hooked! I had the ossobuco. My husband had feijoada. For dessert we had bananas & ice cream and a brigadeiro. SO DELICIOUS!!

Really delicious food! I like how they have an “Build Your Own Plate” option so you can customize your own dinner to suit your dietary preferences or needs. Our server Yasmin was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu offerings. We just came the two of us, but would like to return with our toddler son one day as they have a kids’ corner with toys and books for kids to play in.

Their food is wonderful! The rice has an herbaceous flavor, the meat was marinated perfectly. And the atmosphere is kid centric, with a play area just for the small ones. I will definitely be returning, especially during happy hour!

A perfect Brazilian lunch—extraordinary food and even warmer hospitality. As Brazilians, we felt at home from the first minute. Talita kept a radiant smile the whole time, guided us through the dishes with care, and made the experience truly memorable. The flavors were authentic and soulful, and her caipirinha was pure heaven—fresh, perfectly balanced, just like back home. Thank you, Talita, for turning lunch into a beautiful memory.

Happy hour was the way to go with their traditional Brazilian drink. Delicious and strong. The food was fantastic. Great flavors. I honestly want more people to enjoy this food I'm coming back for sure.

Absolutely phenomenal service and exceptional food. Exquisite doesn’t even come close. Great atmosphere with a live singer who was pitch perfect! We missed a comedy show at Universal and drove around and found this place on a whim. Hospitality was unmatched. Can’t wait to bring the rest of the family! We live an hour away but we will be back 1000%!
