Boteco do Manolo Windermere

I brought a small group of employees here hoping to treat them to a nice Brazilian lunch, as I’ve eaten at many Brazilian restaurants before and was excited to introduce them to the cuisine. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing from the start. When I asked about the lunch menu (which I had seen online), the hostess said yes in an annoyed tone but didn’t provide it or explain where to find it. I had to look through the menu myself and eventually found individual meals in the $30–$35 range. One of my employees, who isn’t familiar with Brazilian food, asked what farofa was. Since the waitress was standing right next to us, I politely asked her to explain. She closed her eyes for several seconds, appeared visibly irritated, and gave a very poor explanation.

That was my first time visiting Boteco do Manolo Bar & Restaurant. I know they have multiples location but I chose the one located in Windermere. I believe it was the best decision since I had an unforgettable experience. Everything was simply amazing! Firstly, the location is new and it is located in a nice part of Windermere. Secondly, the food is DELICIOUS! They are a Brazilian restaurant and I was impressed by the variety of dishes they have in the menu! They have Lamb, Steaks, Chicken, Seafood, Codfish, appetizers and desserts. They have very good options for the whole family. I went there with my wife and 2 boys - 4y and 13y. Starting with the appetizers, I ordered a 1)crab cake —> Petit diced crab meat with parmesan cheese au gratin, and 2)Brazilian traditional fritters —> 2 cod

The place has a nice vibe and the food was decent overall. My steak wasn’t amazing but still good enough and cooked fine. Portions are just right, not too big, and prices are a bit on the higher side.

Everything was amazing, from the food, to the atmosphere. But the service, was EXCEPTIONAL. Bruno took care of us, and provided excellent service. Thank you so much!!!! (I was so hungry when the food came, that I forgot to take a picture. But when deserve came through, I was much more calm hahaha so beautiful).

Boteco do Manolo is one of our favorite Brazilian spots! Every time we come here, we are so well taken care of , the service is always warm and welcoming. The portions are generous, the food is delicious and the atmosphere feels just like home. My family absolutely loves coming here and it has become one of our go-to places whenever we want great Brazilian food and a relaxed, friendly experience. Highly recommend if you want authentic flavors and amazing hospitality!
