Fun Brazilian spot for pastéis and skewers, but reports of slow service, inconsistent food, and confusing pricing mean experiences vary widely.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels warm and bustling when music is on, with a terrace that draws folks spilling over from LX Factory. Some guests cheer the friendly vibe, while others recount waits and confusing bills. One diner summed it up: "Service dragged and our pastel arrived cold." However, there are some review authenticity concerns suggesting certain reviews may be solicited or influenced. Cooking leans toward Brazilian comfort food: build-your-own pastéis by weight, skewers from chicken to alcatra, moqueca for one or two, and hefty burgers. When execution clicks, it is crisp-fried and satisfying; when it does not, reports mention oily fries, oversalted meats, or dishes served lukewarm. The approach is familiar rather than showy, better for snacky grazing than fine dining. Families will find kid-friendly choices like the Factory Kids burger, pão de queijo, mandioca frita, and simple chicken skewers. Do note the pastel pricing is weight-based and can surprise; set expectations with kids to avoid upsizing costs, and consider mains like moqueca that come with rice and sides.
