Description: Brazil is the largest and most populous country in South America. Almost as if to complement its exciting geographical contrasts, from wetlands to tropical forest to beaches, it also boasts an incredible multi-ethnic mix, which is mirrored in its cuisine.The indigenous Tupi Indians had already mastered the art of preserving meats through smoking and drying by the time the Portuguese colonised Brazil in 1533. They had developed the use and processing of Corn (in particular Corn Porridge) as well as the use of many root vegetables such as sweet potato and manioc (also known as yucca or cassava ).Not only did the Portuguese bring with them their own culinary customs (heavily influenced by 300 years of Moorish occupation) but they also imported slaves from West Africa with their cooking traditions. The use of coconut milk, peppers and dende (palm oil) are amongst the many ideas introduced by the slaves, all of which are prevalent in Brazilian cooking.Many more immigrants followed later, including Western Europeans, peoples from the Middle East and Asia, but unlike the Portuguese and African traditions, their culinary contributions were absorbed rather than evolved.As with many other large countries, Brazilian cuisine has its regional differences, although staple ingredients throughout Brazil today include beans, rice and manioc meal. To the North (includes Amazonas, Rondônia and Pará), the diet is mainly fish, root vegetables and fruit as opposed to the Southeast where the use of corn, pork and beans is traditional. Our restaurant is based in a small baroque city of Ouro Preto (from Portuguese, Black Gold) is a city in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, a former colonial mining town located in the Serra do Espinhaço mountains and designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO because of its outstanding Baroque architecture. A different and enjoyable option for a FINE DINING Brazilian Restaurant. A cozy atmosphere for pleasant moments with friends and partners. Excellent food and proud to show our diverse culinary dishes to europeans.

My fiance and I went here last December for his birthday. I booked about 6 weeks in advance and was impressed from the first phone call. It was a surprise for my fiance and he was just blown away when we arrived & throughout the evening. We were given a glass of prosecco to start, presented with our menus and... More

My husband and I visited this restaurant last Sunday evening, and it was incredible! The food and service were extremely high quality, and it's definitely worth its status as Dublin's number one restaurant. I think what makes the restaurant so special is the ambiance. It's so tranquil, and they treated us as if we were VIP guests, no rushing through... More

Simply the best dining experience I have ever had, I can't wait to go back. Everything about this place is excellent. You are made to feel at home from the second you walk in the door. I could tell you about the food but I don't have the words to describe. It's surprisingly good value as well for what you... More

Brought hubby here for his birthday and without doubt this is now my favourite restaurant! I concur with all previous comments. Customer service is alive and well in Dublin! Food is sublime and those cocktails are to die for! Everything about the place is brilliant - from the minute we walked in we were referred to by our name, Tom,... More

We had been talking about going here for about a year but never got around to it. Bought a voucher for it and this forced us to make the effort. WHOW what a superb experience, Tom, Daniel and waitress(name escapes me) gave us the most wonderful eating experience we have ever had. It meant to be 7 courses but it... More

Visited Sabor Brazil for my birthday using a 50% voucher and being honest I would gladly return on a special occasion and pay the full price for the tasting menu. It was simply sensational and the best meal and service I have ever had. Extras included cocktails at the start, glasses of gorgoeus chablis with the fish course (we had... More

We went here on Friday 10th May for our 10th wedding anniversary and talked debated afterwards if it had been the most enjoyable meal experience we'd had in 15 years. The food was truly wonderful but the service and atmosphere was out of this world. The restaurant is absolutely tiny - there were only 10 places in total the night.... More

Not just a meal but a dining experience. Seven courses which were all explained in detail to us and no stone was left unturned over the evening. The cocktails were amazing and the chocolate desert was out of this world. Easy to see why Marco was a chocolatier!! I wouldn't be a fan of fish but the cod on the... More

I've been to Sabor Brazil twice now and both times I have been really impressed with the quality of the food, the service, and the atmosphere. Every course is fantastic, the drinks keep flowing, and last time, Marco even went out of his way to give me instructions on how to make the Brazilian bread myself! I highly recommend Sabor... More
