About O Brasileiro

Brisbane diners head here for hefty, comforting Brazilian Prato Feito plates packed with seasoned meats, black beans, and farofa. The bustling Adelaide Street room hums with Portuguese conversation and energetic music while plates land quickly on the tables. Meals revolve around the build-your-own PF platters—charred picanha steak or garlic rump cap bordered by rice, beans, cassava flour, and house hot sauce. Sizable portions make sharing easy, alongside flaky coxinhas and slices of traditional pudim.

  • Hearty Prato Feito Spreads: Customizable Prato Feito platters arrive stacked with grilled picanha or beef, accompanied by classic rice, beans, and farofa.
  • Generous Sharing Portions: Generous plates priced under $30 deliver enough grilled meat and sides for large appetites to easily share.

Why Diners Choose O Brasileiro

Discover why locals and homesick Brazilians head to Adelaide Street for authentic Prato Feito plates and grilled meats.

  • Complete Customizable Prato Feito Spreads

    Every customizable Prato Feito platter comes fully loaded with grilled proteins and Brazilian staples like brown beans, rice, farofa, and garlic marinades.

    I chose the Prato Feito flexible option, opting for Picanha, with garlic sauce, salad with vinagrete, farofa and beans.

  • Hearty, Shareable Portions for Genuine Value

    Plates are intentionally stacked with generous helpings of grilled steak, sides, and accompaniments that easily satisfy hungry diners or couples sharing.

    The prices are absolutely worth it for the quality and portion sizes (two people can share).

  • A Comforting Taste of Home Far from Brazil

    For Brazilians living abroad, authentic recipes like picanha, feijão, and pudim offer immediate transport back to familiar childhood flavours.

    20 years since I left Brasil, this place took me back immediately to my childhood. Authentic and delicious proper Brazilian food.

  • Traditional Grilled Meats and House-Seasoned Cuts

    Traditional grilled cuts like tender garlic rump cap and picanha are seared to order with Brazilian house seasonings and specialty bottled sauces.

    My go-to is the garlic rump camp. Rump isn't normally a cut I'd go for, but they cook it so well here; tender and flavourful.

  • Picanha

    I chose the Prato Feito flexible option, opting for Picanha, with garlic sauce, salad with vinagrete, farofa and beans. The beef was medium rare just as I had ordered, and it was juicy, and full of flavour.

  • PF Your Way

    I always go with PF Your Way because these meals are huuuge and I cannot eat them all myself.

  • Feijoada

    I ordered the Feijoada. What a surprise! The different cuts of pork were juicy and succulent, with the combination of rice, refried beans, kale, salad and vinagrete dressing was a melody of flavours which combined together was delicious.

  • Chef’s Board

    kicked off with a Chef’s Board – stacked with juicy rump cap, grilled chicken, chorizo with onions, cassava chips, fries, garlic bread, farofa, and salsa. Perfect for sharing.

Before you head over

Practical dining advice for planning your visit and ordering at O Brasileiro

  • Consider Sharing Portions

    Servings for plates like the PF are notably substantial, making them ideal to split between two or take home if you have a moderate appetite.

  • Expect Weekend Queues

    The venue gets particularly busy on weekends, so expect a potential wait of up to 30 minutes during peak dinner times.

  • Ask Staff to Navigate the Menu

    First-time diners or those with dietary needs can rely on the floor staff for clear walkthroughs of unfamiliar Brazilian dishes and allergen adjustments.
