Nelore of Winter Park
115 E. Lyman Ave.
Winter Park, FL 32789
Nelore Churrascaria is a fine dining Authentic Brazilian Steak House, named after Brazils most famous breed of cattle. At nelore we believe the gaucho style of servign sets us apart from other steakhouse. "Gaucho" is the name given to Brazilian Cowboys who have been roasting meat over open flames for centuries. In traditional Brazilian style, our gauchos serve up to 15 cuts of the finest meat available; including steak, checken, lamb and more.

"Disappointment - Servers weren't so friendly. Variety of food is limited. Flavors aren't tasteful. This is the third brazillian steakhouse i've been in Orlando, and I guess I was disappointed because it's Park Ave - I had much higher expectations. Maybe it was just a bad night for me to visit."

"I thought that the salad bar had an excellent selection. Everything I tried was excellent. The meat that was served was for the most part very tender and had great flavor. The filet wrapped with bacon would have been better if there was a larger piece of filet. all you could taste was the bacon. Overall, the service was good and the food was of good quality."

"The meat was fine...and for the price, the salad bar was acceptable. We went for lunch and I was pleased to find a $19.95 deal. But I guess I'm spoiled by my previous experiences at another, more expensive, Brazilian Steakhouse. My son is a vegetarian and got no break for skipping the meat, yet the only hot sides he could get were tomato soup, plain rice and mashed potatoes (which were not all that good). Even the black beans had meat in them. We did enjoy many of the cold veggies, though. And for my daughter's birthday, we were to pick off the dessert menu. She LOVED the creme brulee, but it cost $8.95. I'm glad we tried it, but, since it's not all that close to us, it won't be worth the effort to go back."

"The staff is very attentive and polite. We promptly started getting food brought to us, all of which was delicious and perfectly salted. I've never had a bad experience there, and we've been going monthly since March 2012. Enjoy!"

"The food was good but I have been to much better Brazilian restaurants! The salad house is okay but I would say the food is over-rated. The tables are too close to each other that makes it uncomfortable! The meat is medium rare most of the time and I had to wait to get well done meat."

"Our experience at Nelore was pretty good but I think we could have received better service. My husband and I were looking at the wine list for over 5 minutes trying to find a temperanillo, which they do not offer, and the waiter never came over to ask if we needed help making a wine selection or if we had any questions. When we were sat the waiter asked us if we had ever been there before and we said no, he asked if we had been to any other Brazilian steakhouses before and we said yes, one of the larger chain versions and that was it, he did not offer any explanation as to how they worked, what made their restaurant different than the chains, etc. he simply pointed to where the plates were located. Could have been a better experience."

"The meat brought to the table was fabulos and plentiful. The sides and vegatables were at the salad bar and none were hot. Maybe thats what it was suppose to be like at a Brazilian steak house. Glad I tried it yhough. The key lime pie was best I've ever had!"

"My boyfriend and I had always wanted to try a Brazillian steakhouse, but never had a chance since they're pretty expensive. When they released a Groupon, we figured this was a perfect opportunity. The staff was very friendly and helpful when we asked questions, and we felt very comfortable. The location of this restaurant is wonderful since it is in the beautiful Winter Park downtown area. We went to the salad bar first, which is honestly a little misleading since it's more of a side's bar with cold pasta salads, grilled vegetables, hot sides like mashed potatoes and rice and salad. The best part is the meat which keeps on coming. The flank steak and top sirloin were our favorites. We would definitely go again!"

"The salad bar choices were amazing and I would have been satisfied with just that for my dinner. The meat selections were good, however, I felt the constant interruptions to be annoying and we felt rushed through our meal. I would have preferred the meat choices to be stationary and we go to the ones we want. I would not recommend for a date night where quiet conversation is enjoyed. However it would be great for a group setting where all the meat choices would be shared and enjoyed."
