Brazilian Steakhouse

Bullvino's Churrascaria is a family owned traditional Brazilian steakhouse located in Lowertown St. Paul, MN. Churrascaria, which translates from the Portuguese word "barbecue" is served all-you-can-eat.

Included in our flat rate pricing is our large self serve salad bar which has a wide range of salads, soups, meats, and cheeses.

Through their experience they have assembled a dedicated team of service professionals who have perfected the art of churrascaria down to the finest detail.

Joaquin was a great server! He answered all questions. Helped us understand the significance of the art in the restaurant which told the stories of the southern Brazilian cowboys who cooked their meat Churrasco style. He made it an experience. Great service!

Food is great. You get a variety of protein choices plus a huge salad bar with other choices of food. Servers were courteous and welcoming. They remembered our needs and asked how we were doing many times. Our kids love the pineapple and melted cheese. Picahna is amazing! Deliciously fun!

Benjamin was amazing, We had a groupon, but were surprised when we were told by him that there was a state fair special going. So now we can come back. The service is always impeccable, They made us feel like we were very very special. Can't wait to return. The only downfall is that it's not very handicap accessible. The bathroom is downstairs in the basement very far away from the dining room

Everyone we had contact with was incredibly friendly and helpful, and everything we tried was delicious. It was a little cramped and noisy, so not the best for a romantic night out, but other than that it's fantastic. We'll be back for sure.

This Restaurant had the Best service and Staff that both my wife and I have ever received at any Dining establishment. As soon as we entered the building we were brought right to our table. Our host helped us, by telling us what he recommended for meats on the menu as well as the drink selection. They have an all you can eat Salad bar, Bring you out Mashed potatoes and Chives, and 4 Rolls of Bread. Then the Bring around all kinds of meat to your table and ask you if you want any. if your card is Flipped on the Green Side you can also request things on the meat menu and they will bring it to you in mere minutes. My wife and I Loved the Grilled Pineapple it was coated with cinnamon on the outside. They also have Hmong sausage and Hmong pepper. Every bite of the meats had delicious flavor. So far I think this is our Favorite place to eat as of this moment.

We made a reservation to celebrate my wife's birthday, as a returned guests. We both were disappointed and felt that all of the meats were heavily salted this time. We limited our meat options due to this. Perhaps, we should have pointed out to the manager. We ordered a Caymus bottle and thought the service was friendly, but the meat pretty much changed our mood since that was the main reason we chose to celebrate at Bullvino's.

Walk into a beautiful , well kept super clean restaurant. The smell of different meats is amazing. Gander a look at the salad bar and be prepared for a jaw dropping visual blissful experience than actually go fill your plate. OMG so delightful. The wait staff and food delivery is quick, often and on point. Place a custom request and your wait is minimal. Order a Brazilian cocktail with an extra ordinary amount of fresh limes, let your tastebuds wonder into heaven. You will not have to wait long for the offering of different skewers of meat, each one will bring a bigger delight to you palate.

This was our second time here. Thought we would give it another try after a less than ideal experience last time. They were very attentive this go round, the one and ONLY complaint that we had was not all of the meats that we had avail to us were truly available. Or atleast not without waiting 20-25 mins for. Must’ve ran out and didn’t think to make more so when we kept having to ask for the lamb steak it was probably about a 20-25 min wait as I stated above. Otherwise was great. Thank you for the great service while we celebrated someone’s birthday!

A very nice place. The staff was absolutely amazing, and catered very well to our needs. The food was very good for a Brazilian steakhouse. The salad bar/ appetizer bar was adequate, yet could be better for the price point. If you've never experienced a Brazilian steakhouse, I'd highly recommend this one to anyone who would like to. Location was a bit sketchy, but the premises were very clean and well kept. I'd put this place above any of its competitors in the metro area. You just have to understand that it is a place that is more about the experience than the cuts of meat that you get.

We have been to Bullvinos multiple times for dinner and to celebrate events with our family. Every time we had a great experience. This evening we were celebrating my son's birthday. In the past when I’ve made reservations online and stated what our special occasion was, the staff would bring a special dessert at the end of the meal. This was not the case tonight and it was very disappointing. In addition, our waitress seemed lost and disengaged. We waited over 10minutes for plates and table cards. We had to ask for them. At first the service of meats was slower than expected. I noticed there was only one person bringing the meats out. (Please recognize this person for his friendly service. He was really trying to keep up). We also only received about half of the meats from the meat selection and none of the traditional hot sides. Very disappointing. Overall our experience was not worth the price we paid. Because of the superior service we’ve received in the past and the subpar service of this evening; I wanted to bring this to someone’s attention.

If you want meat, this is the place. The salad bar has some nice sides, but the little popovers, the mashed potatoes, and the stuff they bring to the table is almost enough sides by itself for the meat fest. I ate a ton of filet mignon and ribeye, but had a taste of the bacon wrapped chicken breast and the lamb. All were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Best filet I have ever had. The service was impeccable, and the ambience was great. It is definitely less cramped than Fogo De Chao, but because it was so open, it was a bit noisy. It is a little tough to have an intimate discussion because you are presented with meat quite a lot, even if your flip card indicates no meat requested. I would recommend the valet for parking, especially if there is a Saints game like there was when we went. It was a bit of a zoo. I would go again in a heartbeat, however I need to recover from that meat fest first. Maybe salad for a few days???

The meats were average but the salad bar was good. We were there during the midweek and the place wasn't busy. The wait staff were overbearing. Every few minutes staff would interrupt our conversation to ask if we needed anything and we felt rushed to finish our meal. We never had an opportunity to turn over the card due to the frequent interruption. It was quite frustrating. I recommend the make adjustments to their approach and let guests enjoy the meal and conversation and wait until they are needed before interjecting. I would recommend the restaurant to others and caution them about the excessiveness of the wait staff.

We got a chance to be seated this time in the coffee room which we liked it , seating was a little close to others. It was more space to do more! First the food was sooo good! They brought us so much beef! I wanted all the lamb, chicken and pork so was asked for them to bring that around! My husband did the polenta overload with so much butter! The salad bar was fresh and good but during a busy night food went quick! I would like to see more fruits also on the salad bar! I love going in on restaurant week because everyone gets to enjoy everything especially when money is tight for some! Last minute reservations on OpenTable was easy! The price was right and I hope they extent the experience for the business! MeatLover Unite thanks for the experience !

The food was great. We had a reservation and got right in. We were not aware it was resturaunt week. They had a great deal for $40 - Most meats, market table, sides and dessert. We wanted the full experience, they never came around with the filet or ribeye. We were never brought our Hot Table Side dishes. The waiter adjusted our bill from the full $55.95 Churrascaria to the $40 deal since we didn't even have the opportunity for the "Top Shelf" meats. We got out dessert to go. He came back multiples because he couldn't remember what we got. And he still forgot the strawberries on the cheesecake. I will give them one more chance when we go back to use our Groupon as the food was great. Hopefully the servers were just having an off night.
