About

Us

Boteco is a pub, a bar, a restaurant.

Boteco [bo'teku] is a term derived from the word "botica" (Portuguese from Portugal) which derives from the Greek "apotheke" which means storage, grocery store or where goods were sold.

Today Boteco means a lot. Boteco is a meeting place, a place where people go to enjoy some drinks, have some delicious food, to hang out, "jogar papo fora" and feel as if they are in Brazil, but without spending the big bucks for the flight.

Check out some of our delicious dishes:

Picanha na chapa

Bobó de camarão

Feijoada vegana

Strogonof

And some of our special desserts:

Bolo prestígio

Brigadeiro

Beijinho

Saturday is the day to, have lunch at Boteco Brasil

#botecobrasil #vancouvereats #brazilianfood #braziliancuisine #canadá

Hi, I’m Eliane, owner of Boteco Brasil since 2015. 🇧🇷🫶

Boteco has always been my way of bringing a little piece of Brazil to Vancouver, using authentic recipes my grandma used to make. And it warms my heart that people tell me it feels like home here, even for just one night. ❤️

Whether you’re Brazilian and missing home, or you want to experience our culture for the first time, you’re welcome here.

Here I’m serving Picanha na Chapa: our 10oz steak served on a hot skillet with sautéed cassava in butter and garlic, vinaigrette, and farofa.

Made for two, come share it with someone you love. ❤️

PICANHA — Brazilian steak.

This is 8oz of a special Brazilian cut of top sirloin steak, seasoned with sea salt, and served with basmati rice, brown beans, crispy fries, farofa (toasted cassava flour with bacon) & vinaigrette salsa.

Made fresh in-house daily: our Bolo Prestígio. 🇧🇷

A rich chocolate cake topped with brigadeiro and shredded coconut, filled with traditional Brazilian beijinho.

Summer is around the corner. That means it's almost patio season at Boteco 🫶

Whether you want to experience Brazilian culture with your co-workers, family, or friends for a midday lunch, we'd love to host you on the Boteco patio.

Authentically Brazilian 🇧🇷

This is our Calabresa Aperitivo, inspired by a classic dish you’ll often find in São Paulo, where I grew up.

Served with seasoned fries, this dish features cured sausage, caramelized onions & sautéed kale.

Come try a taste of Brazil 🫶

This our iconic Chapa Mista, featuring sausage, steak, chicken, polenta, and caramelized onions 🍽️🇧🇷

Picanha Verão: steak night, the Brazilian way 🇧🇷

When Brazil meets matcha 💚
Putting a twist on a classic Beijinho with a little matcha magic. Coconut, condensed milk, and that earthy green finish you didn’t know you needed. 🍵✨

When you have heaters, it’s always patio season, even in the winter. Come get comfortable on the patio and let us take care of dinner 🫶

“Yeah it’s sooo good 😊” - me who has never touched it in my life 😬🤣

#botecobrasil #vancouvereats #braziliancuisine #brazilianvibes #restaurant

I could stay behind the scenes, but it’s the moments with our guests that bring me back out. Serving you, checking in, seeing you celebrate… it all reminds me why Boteco matters. 🇧🇷🫶

Owning a restaurant in Vancouver is hard. The days are long, and there’s always something to solve.

But when I see guests feeling at home here, whether they grew up in Brazil or it's their first time having Brazilian cuisine, it makes it all worth it.

A flight, but make it cozy. 🍲👀

If loving cheese is wrong, I don’t wanna be right 😌🧀

This month, we’re proud to recognize Maria as our Staff Member of the Month at Boteco Brasil 🇧🇷

Maria is one of those people who truly wears many hats—and guests feel it, even if they don’t always see it.

With a background in IT, she’s our go-to whenever we face technical challenges, and she’s always willing to step in and help, no questions asked. From supporting our inventory system to troubleshooting day-to-day issues, her skills help keep everything running smoothly so we can focus on ensuring guests have the best experience possible and feel right at home.

Beyond her technical skills, Maria brings great energy to Boteco. She’s always open to participating in videos or contributing ideas, and she gets along wonderfully with the team — often having a laugh with or traveling with team members outside of working hours.

✨ Maria joined the Boteco team on April 29, 2025, and in such a short time, she has already made a strong and positive impact. She has been such a valued member of our team that her wife will soon be joining Boteco.

Thank you, Maria, for everything you do—for your flexibility, commitment, and for being such an important part of our team. We’re very grateful to have you with us and are excited to welcome your wife to the Boteco family 💛
