Our Story

Thirty years of Brazilian
cooking, one restaurant

Boteco Restaurant is where three decades in Brazilian kitchens finally got a room of its own — on International Drive, Orlando.

Who we are

Brazilian food that feels like home

Boteco Restaurant is an authentic Brazilian restaurant in Orlando, located on International Drive, near Orlando Premium Outlets and some of the city’s most popular attractions. With more than thirty years of experience in Brazilian kitchens, our story is rooted in the flavors, traditions, and hospitality of Brazil.

Our goal is simple: to bring people together around the table with the food and warmth that make Brazilian hospitality so special. For Brazilians, it’s a chance to reconnect with familiar flavors and feel a little closer to home. For visitors, it’s an opportunity to discover authentic Brazilian cuisine right here in Orlando.

From picanha and feijoada to churrasco, moqueca, pastéis and other Brazilian favorites, our menu celebrates the flavors of Brazil in a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. With a Kids Area for the little ones, families can relax, enjoy their meal and share a great time together.

What we hold to

Three things we do not negotiate

Technique over shortcuts

Feijoada takes a morning. Cupim takes hours. We do not speed either of them up, because the shortcut is the part you would taste.

Portions meant for sharing

Brazilian tables are communal. Our plates are built for the middle of the table, not the edge of it.

Everyone at one table

Grandparents, kids, and everyone between. A dedicated kids area and a kids menu exist so no one has to sit this out.
