Gaucho is heating things up in the mountains! Gauchos are the cowboys of South America – a national symbol of pride and tradition. The residents of Rio Grande do Sul, a Brazilian state, are affectionately referred to as “Gauchos”. This state, renowned for its unique churrasco barbecue, is the birthplace of Chef Edmilson Rodrigues.

Our barbecue chefs will bring perfectly roasted meats directly to your table on massive Gaucho-style skewers, each with a tender selection of cuts of the day. Enjoy our traditionally prepared marinades of meat and our vast selection of hot and cold dishes for lunch or dinner.

Feel transported by Gaucho’s authentic food and friendly staff as ancient Brazilian traditions come alive in Canmore's only Churrascaria, conveniently located on Main Street. Come Taste the Tradição.

An Unforgettable Culinary Experience at Gaucho Brazilian Barbecue – Canmore From the moment you walk into Gaucho Brazilian Barbecue, you’re transported straight to the heart of Brazil with an Alberta twist. The atmosphere is warm, rustic, and inviting — a perfect blend of mountain charm and South American flair. The service? Impeccable. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing the Brazilian barbecue tradition. The staff make you feel like you’re an honoured guest at a family gathering. Now for the real star: the food. Every cut of meat was cooked to perfection — juicy, flavourful, and carved tableside in true rodizio style. The picanha was a standout: tender, well-seasoned, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The variety was impressive — from garlic steak and pork ribs to lamb and even grilled pineapple that was the perfect sweet finish. Don’t skip the salad bar either. It’s not just an afterthought — fresh, diverse, and full of well-executed side dishes that balance out the richness of the meats. And the best part? You control the pace. Green means “bring it on,” and red means “let me recover.” Perfect for enjoying the experience without feeling rushed. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Canmore, Gaucho is an absolute must-visit. A celebration of flavour, hospitality, and tradition — worth every penny and every bite. I can’t wait to go back.

Everything was amazing from start to finish! The service was great — super friendly and attentive staff who really made us feel at home. Everyone was so kind and genuinely seemed happy to be there, which made the vibe even better. The food was delicious and really high quality. You can tell they care about what they’re serving. Truly one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommended!

Food and service both excellent. And they tracked us down after we left to refund an accidental overcharge on our bill. Impressed with the honesty and the effort to make it right! The desserts were superb, the main courses plentiful. Love this style of dining; this was our 2nd experience. Hope to get back there soon!

Like meat? Go here!! Absolutely fantastic. Great food, excellent taste, a lot of choices, as much as you want and all for a fair price! You pay 70 dollar for a full churrascaria, which means they come to the table with sirloin, sausages, beef. pork, picaña and more. You can order sides like potatoes, salads, mushrooms, fries and all you want. As a Tourguide I go around the world and I know my fair share of food and restaurants. I also visit Brazil frequently. This is truly amazing! I see some reviews and don’t understand the negative onces. Cannot think of anything gone wrong?! I will be back in 4 weeks!
