Carnaval Brazilian BBQTruly Carnival experience!Great place! The food is full of LIFE! Ambiance is truly Carnival!!! You have to try this place... Price is a bit high but you pay for what you get!!! I've been to a Brasilian steakhouse and this by far is superior inTaste!!!12/3/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was fantastic and lotsFood was fantastic and lots of it. All you want.
Many different cuts of meats all cooked to what ever is your pleasure, rare to well done.
Cooking with charcoal is awsome. And them cooking not far from you is cool too. The smells of the cooking sure don't hurt anything either.11/4/2013 12:00:00 AMContrary to the recent badContrary to the recent bad press, we loved our experience at Carnaval. The food is excellent, and the service is fabulous.
Congratulations, Carnaval!8/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service was very good,The service was very good, we really enjoyed our dining experience.7/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGood food. WAY to loud.The food was excellent. It was a very fun dining experience. Not good for vegitarians even though they have a vegitarian menu. They are left out of the experience. And it is pricy. Dinner and a one alcoholic beverage will run you $50 minimum. Some of the group was unaware of the price and there really only is one choice (even though there are others). It was way too loud! They have to do something about that. Maybe put up glass infront
of the kitchen? It's good to see the rotiseries but I'd rather enjoy the company I came with. I could only hear the person who was directly beside me. I missed out visiting friends on my birthday. The waiters did a great job of bringing the meat around. Good
SA wine selection.6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAn expensive, but tasty lunch!I was a little disappointed to see the number of items unavailable on the lunch menu. Although I can appreciate that perhaps not all things could be available for the discounted lunch menu, it does not compare at all to the experience of dining for dinner.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMOur great experienceWe enjoyed our time at Carnaval Brazilian BBQ. The service was excellent. The side dishes were OK. The BBQ was outstanding. The grilled pineapple was to die for. We will go back for sure. The place is very busy, and around 8:30PM it got very loud.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMTasty, but expensiveThe food was excellent, but the wine and liquor prices pushed the bill from moderate to exorbitant. Overall, the value for money was not good. The restaurant was extremely noisy. You can't hear the people at your own table, or the servers. Put in some noise baffling in the ceiling.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was great and theThe food was great and the manner of serving it was a terrific experience. What puts it over the top is the service.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMOnce again Carnaval was greatOnce again Carnaval was great fun!

The food just kept coming!!!5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food! Love the conceptGreat food! Love the concept of Brazilian BBQ. Something new to Winnipeg. I will be going back again.5/8/2013 12:00:00 AM30 YearsMy wife and I celebrated our Anniversary at Carnaval. the people were great, from the Hostess I dropped the flowers off with earlier in the day to all of the staff we were involved with for dinner. Friendly, informative, attentive (without being smothering), and professional. The food was also really good. With the only flaws being that the one sirloin was a little on the chewy side and the one pork dish was a little salty. The sausage was spicy and terrific the chicken thighs were tasty and tender. The lamb was as good as I have ever had. The ribeye, tenderloin and bacon wrapped chicken were almost melt in your mouth delicious. The cinnamon dusted bbq pineapple was like candy. With a nice wine it made for a great time. We will be back.5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Food and ServiceGreat food and service. The only thing bad was screaming load children at the table behind us.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMroyal treatment !my wife and i went for her birthday , i mention'd it on phone when i made reservation ! the staff automactically treated her like a queen , which made me look good ty Carnival !

Service was great and the food was even better, we thought we would try something a little different for date night and we are happy we did! The menu selection is well rounded definetly something for everyone. We made a reservation for an early dinner at 5, I would recommend this time for anyone who is going on that romantic date night like we did, by 6:00 the resturant was full and buzzing with voices, we where happy to have that first bit to be more relaxed and quite.

We made a reservation for our second visit, right after our meal. Can't wait to go back.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMI found the dinner buffetI found the dinner buffet pricey, but the food was good despite some items not being available (ribs, for example) and certain sides never making their way to our table. I would like to come back for lunch when the prices are more reasonable. We brought our 18 month old son and the staff were very accommodating, plus, he had a blast watching the meat carved form the giant skewers.3/4/2013 12:00:00 AMLunch YES!An outing with my best friend was welcomed by friendly service. :-( coffee machine broke) but outstanding prepared BBQ meat on a variety of skewers brought to us by smartly dressed gouchos.

It is a fun dining experience and is definitely a do again.1/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was outstanding andThe food was outstanding and the staff very attentive.
Chicken wrapped in bacon and pork ribs with some grilled pineapple were especially delicious.
The only drawback is the noise.
Conversation across the table was difficult at times even in a group of only 4 people.1/1/0001 4:00:00 PMThe whole concept was veryThe whole concept was very cool. All the meats were great, but the fries probably the best I have ever had! Grilled Pineapple was beyond tasty. View of river very nice. Staff all very friendly and great service.
