28/10/2025: Tucano restaurant in Dublin is a true celebration of Brazilian gastronomy in the heart of Ireland.
The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is impeccable, and the food… simply wonderful! Authentic flavors, well-seasoned and served with care. Each dish brings a little piece of Brazil and a dose of good nostalgia.
The prices are fair and reflect the quality of what is offered.
Just one detail: the musical selection could be more diverse. Playing sertanejo universitário all the time doesn't represent the richness of Brazilian music — which ranges from samba to MPB, from forró to bossa nova. This is a suggestion to make the experience even more complete and unforgettable.
27/10/2025: First and foremost, I thought the atmosphere was great! Lots of energy and the staff really contributed to that. Nice music and a pleasant environment to eat. You seat yourself at lunch time, if there are seats available.
The food is pretty good! It's enjoyable and tasty and hits the spot. It ain't fancy, but nor is it meant to be. For the price, the food is tasty and the portion is generous - no issue there. I would certainly come back!
If I were to be critical, there were two issues that came up - though none detracted that bad from our experience, but still, something to consider for the owners. First is that there is no hot plate. So when food is ready, it's merely placed on a platform - no heaters among it. So when it was picked up 1-2 minutes after it was placed, the fries had already gone completely cold. I can see from other reviews that this isn't an uncommon experience. Second, the chicken parmagiana was tasty - no doubt about it, but I would easily say that half a chicken breast was used to create the dish. Many people would say that this is a little cheap on the protein which is, after all, the primary cost of the dish.
Those two issues aside, I enjoyed the experience here - though I would have enjoyed it more perhaps if these two issues did not exist. I would come back, and I hope it gets even better when I do!
