The Copacabana Experience

On my sixth restaurant experience I ended up going to Copacabana Brazilian Steakhouse located at 6671 Fallsview Boulevard in Niagara Falls. This is the original Copacabana location and my personal favourite. There are two other locations in Toronto, one at 150 Eglinton Avenue and the other at 230 Adelaide Street West.   

I absolutely love the Brazilian atmosphere and aroma of the barbecue throughout the restaurant. Copacabana is very unique and has a exciting concept that touches the Brazilian culture, which I find fascinating. They truly focus on superior food quality, exceptional service and an exciting dining experience for every guest. They offer over 20 different cuts of perfectly seasoned and grilled meats along with a full buffet. They really try to satisfy every appetite.   

The buffet includes a variety of fresh mouthwatering choices from a selection of salads, pastas, gourmet hot dishes, seafood, fresh oven baked breads, sautéed dishes and any other dishes the chefs have prepared.  

There is a vast variety of meats to choose from, which would include their skirt steak, filet mignon wrapped in bacon, parmesan filet mignon, garlic steak sirloin, top sirloin, beer & garlic chicken drumsticks, turkey breast wrapped in bacon, flank steak, lamb chops, beef ribs, rib-eye steak, chimichurri steak, BBQ pork ribs, parmesan chicken, moroccan chicken, pork sausage and my personal favourite the prime rib with cheddar cheese. All of these meats are on long metal skewers that come straight off the grill. The server then cuts them off for you, as you place them on your plate. The meats keep on coming until you have tapped out. They also come around to the tables with three of my favourites which would be the corn bread muffins, the deep fried bananas that are tossed with cinnamon and the roasted pineapple that has cinnamon and brown sugar on them.    

By time it came to a dessert option, there was absolutely no room left in my stomach. Unfortunately it was my birthday and the server was kind enough to bring over a birthday desert. Let’s just say I was not able to finish it. 

By the end of your dining experience you will most likely have meat sweats. Words of wisdom and trust me on this one, don’t fill up on the buffet! It is definitely worth going to and I strongly recommend at least trying it once!  You will definitely fall in love, but you won’t be able to go all the time.
