"Just like Mamma Makes"
We went to this restaurant with a Brazilian friend who was in Toronto for a few weeks on a visit. His eyes lit up when we suggested getting a taste of home food and the title of our review is how he described his food when it arrived !!!
I know very little about Brazilian cuisine but I do know that I enjoyed my Picanha with cheese and he confirmed that his food (fish) was excellent too. The other two in our party also enjoyed their dinners.
I later spoke with another Brazilian acquaintance who lives in Toronto and he too confirmed that he regards this as the best and most authentic Brazilian restaurant in TO.
I can only defer to these guys on the authenticity and confirm that I enjoyed my food, enjoyed the friendly service, and the decor and ambience. Will definitely go here again. -

It sucks when a place you want to go to is closed but thankfully Yelp showed us this place around the corner!
We walked in and were greeted and sat in Portugese....sweet, how can I not love that? Did I mention the girls who sat/served us were very cute? Ok maybe I should have.
We decided to order a main with some appetizers and we ended up getting Brazilian chicken balls, empada and the stew.
The empada was ok but the chicken was slightly dry. The Brazilian chicken ball was AWESOME! I loved the batter that the chicken was wrapped in. I can't explain it but I really would have ate 5 of these for dinner that night had I not ordered other things. The stew came out and it was a very nice portion. I'm normally indifferent to beans but I have to admit I liked these ones. The veggies were, veggies and we got a large portion of meat. I found the meat a little dry but if you can mix it in with the fat it's pretty awesome.
When the bill arrived I think we got the awesome discount because they seemed to have discounted all our items. SWEET!!!
I will definitely be back as I saw some of the other items people ordered. I think we were feeling adventurous and wanted to try some Brazilian food I had never tried before. I'll definitely mix it up with things I know are winners and other new items the next time I'm in.
Did I mention the cute waitresses? -

I think I had higher expectations of this place. Thinking we were going to a Brazilian steak house I thought they're really know their meat. But, as Melinda M said, the steaks were thin, and kind of tough. I'd just say it was okay.
While the staff was nice, the whole feeling wasn't really comforting and inviting. -

I was less impressed than the other reviewer: disappointed really. I probably should give two stars but the server was nice and eager - even if he couldn't speak English well enough to explain the difference between any of the steak dishes.
I actually thought the prices were high for what we got. The steaks (it's Brazilian, I figured you couldn't go wrong with steaks!) were thin and way over-cooked. Hi! I ordered medium rare and you gave me well-done! We did get salads and rice and beans and fries and lots of sides so I guess it fits. The food just wasn't good enough.
They had a singer/guitarist who was playing along to American classic rock tunes piped in somehow. His voice was good.
Weird scene, but nice staff. I hear the Saturday night special steak is good, but I doubt I'll bother to try it. This just didn't impress me at all.Listed in: Not your typical meat and…

Super value for the money. Tasty food without a lot of pretense.
The chicken dinner is served for 1, but is enough for 2 or even a small family. Crazy big portions.
Like so many restaurants in this strip, the decor is nothing to write home about, but the food is great. -

Food was OK for a Brazilian restaurant in a foreign country (the food never taste the same as hen you are in Brazil). The price was reasonable and the place was nice.

I started going to the Brazilian Star about 5 years ago. I love their Picanha and Alcatra steaks. The side dishes are just an amazing compliment to the soft and juicy steaks. Their dessert, traditional brigadeiro just melts in your mouth!!! They also make the best Caipirinhas so if you go there please order one. Prices have gone drastically up since I first started going there and when I say drastically, I mean drastically and it hasn't been gradually after the renovation the prices went up by almost 4$. I haven't been back since that time but I really would like to go soon!!!
