When we first arrived, we thought that the place was closed. Aside from one table the place looked deserted. But since we've been wanting to try this place we braved ëmptiness expecting to be dissapointed. We were so wrong. The place turned out to be great. The buffet was refreshed when we entered (1 hour before closing). The staff were polite. I would especially commend the one who served us our meat for being very knowledgeable about the different barbecues that we were being brought. The meats were fresh and really good. I especially loved the grilled pineapple that was served. We all agreed that we will be coming back. So worth visiting.
Here is the list of meats that you can choose from:
Beef Maminha
Beef Picanha
Pork Belly
Chicken Drumsticks
Shrimps
Sausages
Baby Beef
Brazilian Bacon
Beef Alcatva
Pineapple

Discovered a Brazilian Grill through Toucan Brazilian BBQ Buffet Restaurant at the sprawling Festival Mall, Civic Drive, Filinvest, Muntinlupa City. NEW! Authentic Brazilian Churrasco in Alabang!
Enjoy unlimited helpings of grilled meats - Beef Picanha - soft, tender and clean flavors because there is no heavy marinates used to mask the taste of beef. Only salt and pepper then cooked on the grill.
Pork Belly was such a delight. Rolled and cooked to a beautiful roast, the sliced pork belly looks so tempting.
Beef Alcatra - equally delicious grilled beef. Shrimps - sweet, a little difficult to peel but definitely rewarding.
Brazilian Bacon & Beef Maminha - the Brazilian Bacon was a bit salty, perfect with a LOT of rice. Chicken Drumsticks - classic tasting chicken with only salt as the flavor agent.
For dessert, have some Grilled Pineapple with cinnamon and Grilled Bananas also with cinnamon sugar served fresh and sliced table side.
All this plus a buffet of appetizers, salads, soup, dessert and main courses. When in Alabang and looking for something new to discover, make sure to visit Toucan in Festival Mall.
A must try Brazilian BBQ!
Here are the list why you should definitely try Toucan Brazilian BBQ Restaurant:
📌 The ambiance is good.
📌 Mouthwatering skewers
📌 Reasonable price. 799 you’ll have around 7+ skewers.
📌Friendly staffs
Tips
✨Make a reservation (for a hassle free) although they accept walk-in sometimes this restaurant gets fully booked easily.
✨Come early so that you can enjoy your food, because they seldomly refill their appetizers.
-I hope they can have a new branch in Manila, I bet this will become a hit for all the foodie lovers from the North.

First, a little intro. Toucan serves Brazilian BBQ buffet. You can enjoy 8 types of skewered meat, which are brought out by serves at various points throughout the meal. You can also enjoy the food in the buffet table.
The skewers are legit & flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp, maminha, sirloin and sausage. I also love the grilled pineapple and banana, it was my first time trying grilled fruits and it really changed the game.
For the buffet spread, I liked the apple salad and macaroni salad. My bf liked the fried chicken.
For drinks, there's water and what tastes like gulaman (without the actual gulaman) which we enjoyed nonetheless.
In particular, here are the things that I liked:
- Ambiance is fun and colorful, but not overwhelming to the senses
- Skewered meats and pineapple are good
- Overall, service is good especially for the servers bringing out the skewered meat. If a particular meat wasn't served to your table, you can specifically ask for it.
Points for improvement:
- The female servers attending the buffet table were scowling the whole time
- The buffet spread can be significantly improved. A lot of the dishes were not refilled so if you come late you'll be getting fewer choices. Also most of the cold salads have the same dressing (egg salad, apple salad, potato salad, macaroni salad). Variety will help a lot.
Overall, this is a good restaurant to try for couples or groups like families and I think it has a lot of potential as well esp if above points are addressed.
Amazing place, cozy atmosphere, and excellent service from the friendliest staffs!
All of the beef served was delicious, juicy and tasty.
You'll definitely get full on the meat alone.
Great brazilian type of food. the food was good, love their grilled banana.
The place is recommended for hangout with friends, formal or informal business dinner and of course for a date with your loved one.
Definitely will put a positive review on our Youtube channel within this week:

You won't find many churrascaria such as this place. There were a few whom already closed but definitely it will always be a memorable experience eating at a churrascaria simply because of the way they serve the BBQ. They'd roam around carrying the BBQ meats and give you a slice or more per your liking. Each table has a wooden indicator which has colors green for go or red for stop. The servers will know if they would continue serving you meats according to the indicator but make sure to turn them green so you can try all the meats offerings.
Here are the kinds of Churrasco they offered us: Beef Picanha, Beef Maminha, Pork Belly, Chicken Drumsticks, Shrimps, Sausages, Beef Alcatra, Baby Beef, Brazilian Bacon and Fruits like Pineapple and Banana. I personally love the sausages, the tender baby beef and the banana covered with cinnamon sugar. Nevertheless I would say most of them are cooked and seasoned properly plus the smoky bbq flavor is nice.
They also have a buffet spread mostly for the appetizers, side dishes and some viands.
Only at 699++ you can try the Churrasco style here at Toucan which btw has a really nice ambience and colorful designs like Brazilian festivities.
Overall, I enjoyed the food and service. It is definitely recommendable.
Love this place! Must try place in festival mall. Great churrasco. Good beef, fresh meat and shrimps, tasty food. Sit back and eat to your stomach’s content. Good staff too. I’ve been a regular since my first visit.

Great place for families and big groups, Toucan Brazilian BBQ Buffet celebrates eating big and eating hearty with their one of a kind selection of grilled meats on skewers, a true sign of churrasco Brazilian cuisine.
For P699 per person, you get the skewered meats, and a whole array of dishes served buffet style.
What I really like about it...
- Great quality meat cuts. And great selection of stuff on the skewers. I was amazed they served shrimp! You'll get full on the meat alone. Enough said. 👍👌
Chicken drumsticks ✔️
Sausage ✔️
Pork roll - brazilian bacon
Pork belly ✔️
Shrimps ✔️
Beef picanha ✔️
Beef alcatra ✔️
Beef maminha ✔️
Baby beef ✔️
Pineapple ✔️
Banana
- Staff was amazing, from the chef to the ones serving the skewers. I love that they are customer service oriented, and are so prompt in filling our glasses with water or taking away empty plates.
- Vibe was happy! From the happy toucan outside the restaurant right to the happy green color highlights on the walls and buffet counter, the place screams happy Brazilian festival.
What I think needs to improve..
- Since it is a Brazilian bbq place, expect some waiting time for the churrasco or skewers to reach your table. I would suggest more staff to handle the churrascos so more people can enjoy their ordered meats fast and easy.
- More variation on the buffet dishes. Most stuff were fried. I was looking forward to more Brazilian - inspired dishes or more tropical treats that we don't normally see in buffets.
They trimmed down the price from P999 to P699 so that's even a better deal! Another dining option for the ever-changing hungry palate of peeps here in the South.

If you're already fed up with the Samgyupsal trend. This is definitely worth trying. Unlimited Brazilian BBQ MEATS freshly cooked and will be delivered/sliced directly to your table. No time limit! You'll be the one to decide through the GREEN means GO and RED means STOP blocks. My personal favorites were the Crispy Pork Belly & the most tender Baby Beef. Buffet side dishes has a lot of selections too. Salads, Maki and Filipino dishes. 699+ per head is worth it to its price having UNLIMITED MEATS, side dishes buffet, bottomless black tea and ice cream station. Kudos also to their staffs very accommodating!
I really like dining into places that scream culture all in one too! I'm pretty sure food is one way to know more about a country.
If you got around 600 to 700 pesos to spare, go check out Toucan Brazilian BBQ Buffet Restaurant.
Well aside from the usual buffet counters that all buffet places has, what's different about Toucan is that they serve the grilled meat from the kitchen to your table.
We actually had these churrasco selections:
🍢Beef Maminha
🍢Beef Picanha
🍢Pork Belly
🍢Chicken Drumsticks *favorite*
🍢Shrimps
🍢Sausages
🍢Baby Beef
🍢Brazilian Bacon
🍢Beef Alcatva
🍢Pineapple
🍢Banana
Really liked how the meat was served hot. Also enjoyed their maki and potato wedges too. Didn't even had to pair it with rice :) You have to try the grilled banana with a little cinnamon powder on the side too!
Super friendly staff and owner.

If you only had 600-700 Pesos and wanted to indulge in an all you can eat meat feast today, chances are you’d end up in a smokeless Korean Grill. It’s right up there with Milk Tea that are sure blockbuster hits no matter where you place it or who puts it up. Long lines follow these establishment wherever they set up shop That’s why the re-entry of Brazilian Churrascos is very timely.
Toucan Brazilian provides the meat buffet alternative you are looking for in the south. Their Churrasco selection covers everything from Pineapple, Banana, sausage, chicken drumsticks, Pork Belly and Brazilian bacon to more prime choices such as Beef Picanha, maminha, alcatva. The meat is tender and guaranteed fresh and is grilled to your liking. The only downside is if you’re eating meat this good the wait in between servings would seem like an eternity. The experience of picking the sliced meat right off the slab/roll though is worth it. There are only a handful of dining experiences that can compare to the consistent serving of perfectly roasted juicy meat that goes from the stick to your mouth in seconds.
The hype did not disappoint, a slight variation to the mainstream korean barbecue, I recommend this restaurant to people who want to try different kinds of meat. I suggest you order the tenderloin with onions and grilled shrimps. The owner himself is the one cooking for you, this will guarantee great quality food and experience.
Great for meat lovers! Love their sirloin, veal, pork belly, chicken and sausages. They also have a side buffet with around a dozen dishes that change frequently. Staff is very warm and welcoming, and the owners usually serve you personally.
Great value for money too. We come here almost every week. It's always worth it!

It is my first time to try Brazilian Buffet. For only P699.00++, you can have a taste of Brazilian buffet and you can experience an unlimited churrasco dining here.
You can literally sit back and relax as you wait for the server to serve the grilled meat on iron rod/stick and give you some slice of the meat. On the side of the restaurant lies the other part of the buffet (which includes maki, macaroni, adobo, cordon blue, salad, and more). I find it weird to see maki, adobo, etc. on the buffet but it was good as well.
Here are the churrasco selections during our stay:
- Beef Picanha
- Beef Maminha
- Pork Belly
- Chicken Drumsticks
- Shrimps
- Sausages
- Beef Alcatva
- Baby Beef
- Brazilian Bacon
- Pineapple
- Banana
So far, it was pretty consistent, the meat was tender. I like the one with the fat part which added taste to the meat. You don't even need some condiments/dip to enjoy eating it. I love the Beef Picanha and Maminha, the sausages, and the pork belly.
Price point is on the affordable side considering P699.00 for churrasco dining and Brazilian buffet. Recommended!!
I love meat. Everything that comes out of the kitchen tastes good! Never mind those side dishes on the buffet table. If you're a meat lover you will especially love their pork belly. So yummy!
Toucan brazil bbq and buffet restaurant has lots of meat options from beef, pork and shrimp. The meat are always fresh out of the grill and they have pineapple and banana to cleanse your pallet.
The only downside is just the waiting time for the next meat option. But overall it’s worth the wait. Very delicious and juicy meat. My favorite the pork belly, beef picanha, and the pineapple.
You can take advantage of the buffet but it’s better to get lots of meat to get the value of your money.
They have limited parking space in the area - 50 pesos for 3 hrs.
Great experience and good food good bbq, many meat to serve to my table one by one cut, so good dinner tonight. I think I will one week no more miss any meat. Hahaha special recommendation pineapple.
Buffet restaurants can be very hit or miss but I am pleased to say that this one was a hit as far was I am concerned.
There is a good variety of foods and the hot food is very hot which is always good. There is also the chance to have a variety selection of grilled meat or shrimp cooked to perfection.
Lovely and attentive staff and the manager wandered round the tables making sure everyone was happy.
Can't wait to visit again.
Price 699 per head .

Good food, good service. But the location is hard to found, just walk around at least 20 mins to find it 😅 but absolutely we will come back 💯👌
A must try!! Brazilian restaurants are very rare to find here in mnl! I was surprised that I found one here at festival mall expansion! Btw, their Churrascos are superb! Very tasty and tender! I love how you can actually taste the flavour of the meat itself. Muito saboroso! 👌 Picanha, alcatra, baby beef and shrimps are my top choice! Overall, service is outstanding. Staffs are very approachable and helpful! Will definitely be back and bring my family and friends! Great job, TOUCAN!
If you are looking for a something new buffet restaurant to dine in..must try this! The food is great and the service is spectacular..definitely will come back!!

I am a fans of Brazilian BBQ. That’s was a perfect experience. Very good food and very good service. Buffet is OK, especially the barbecue is very delicious. Chicken drumsticks,top sirloin, pineapple...every teams is good! It is worth recommending people who really love meat.

It's the first time that I've ever given a 5-star rate in zomato, and this resto definitely deserve it. I've been here twice this August, and to think that it's only August 6 now. Our first visit was on August 2, and because I loved the food and the friendly service, I've decided to celebrate my daughter's birthday here yesterday.
The food, especially the meat- chicken, pork, beef are all well-seasoned and perfectly cooked. Really delicious!!! But my top five were: 1. Picanha, 2. Mamincha, 3. Baby beef, 4. Pork belly, 5. Chicken. They also serve other food from the buffet table but I've opted to focus on their grilled goodies since the resto's flagship is "brazilian bbq", and they really lived up to it! Ohhh, and the pineapple with cinnamon topped with their unlimited vanilla ice cream (big scoop) is really a must try.. this combination really gave me the happiest way to end my meal.
Will I go back? DEFINITELY. Is this resto recommended? DEFINITELY! The quality of the food is really great for the value.
The food was great, especially the Maminha and Pineapple. Freshly cooked, very juicy and seasoned well. But what made our stay memorable was the excellent service. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. It's definitely great value for money.
EDIT: Months after, the service and food at Toucan is as great as ever. The servers were very accommodating and friendly. They've added a few items to their menu, but my favorites are still the Maminha and the Pineapple. We will definitely be back.
First time trying a Brazilian-style buffet and the food and experience did not disappoint. There was a variety of meats: steak, pork belly, chicken, sausage, and shrimp, also barbecued/grilled(?? sorry not a food master lol) fruits like pineapple and banana, and lots of side dishes like egg salad, mashed potatoes, stir-fried noodles, and more. I appreciated that the meats did not have complex spices so we're able to appreciate the original flavor. The best was the chicken!! It was tasty, juicy, and definitely one of the best chicken dishes I've tried. Even the sweet and sour pork was more than good as a "side" dish. Oh, and they also have unlimited ice cream to cap off one's meal.
Food: 4/5
Service: 5/5. The staffs and owners were attentive and they look enthusiastic going around giving meats which was very, very nice :)
Food is excellent especially the meat they serve. Don't expect them to give you sauces tho (we were told that the Brazillian cuisine focus more on the taste of the meat itself rather than the sauce). They do allow you to bring your own steak sauce. Also, excellent service from the staff and manager herself. Very approachable and they're fast to act on any of your requests. Would definitely go back and even recommend to others.
Love the place! I like the grilled shrimp and their barbeque tenderloin. Highly recommended to family and friends. Will go back to this place again❤️❤️❤️😋😋😋
Thanks for accommodating my request to hold a small birthday dinner for my dad. Food is sumptuous, meat servings are overflowing. Hot dishes are good also. The kids especially loved the sausages.
Super friendly staff, very accommodating.. Really love the grilled meats and their different side dishes.. Hope they could have variety of dippings for the different type of grilled meats,not just vinegar.. But the best thing is the grilled pineapple with cinnamon powder.. Love it much..
Fast service lots of buffet variants to choose from! Bottomless iced tea and orange juice. Lots of choices of meats... sirloin, beef skirt, rib eye, chicken, pork, sausages and different meats. All cooked to your doneness. Will comeback again with friends and relatives. Will suggest and recommend to our business partners and employees. We loved the food, the ambience and the friendly staff.
We came across Toucan when we were looking for a place to celebrate our daughter's and our brother's moving up ceremony. Their lunch buffet is until 2:30 PM only, that's why we were a bit hesistant since we were there at around 1:30, but we're so glad we risked it! Everything was great, they were bringing out food one after the other and we really enjoyed the experience. On top of it all, we were given great customer service. It was worth the money that we paid for! Will surely go back there again 😍
Great food and great experience! It is a different kind of buffet where they serve you freshly cooked meats directly on your plate from the skewer.
They have a salad bar. I especially liked the beans. They also had some cooked viands which were good too.
The meats are definitely the star of the show. They serve steak, chicken, ribs, pork belly, beef tounge, beef, sausage. All were great! The pork belly and chicken were especially tasty.
They have unlimited drinks as well. Choice of juices.
They also have dessert of bread and chocolate bread, raisins and prunes. They also have ice cream which is great.
Service was also very friendly and fast.
Overall, great value for money for P430.
