Bullvino’s Churrascaria is a Brazilian steakhouse at 289 5th St E in St. Paul’s Lowertown district. Diners come for churrasco: fire-roasted meats carved tableside by passadores, paired with caipirinhas and a large salad bar. It holds a 4.7 rating and has a sister location in Bloomington.
The dining room has an industrial-chic look, with an open layout that OpenTable reviewers praise for its ambiance. Meals follow the rodízio format. Servers circulate with skewers of seasoned, flame-roasted cuts and slice portions straight onto your plate until you signal a pause. The salad bar offers fresh vegetables, salads and sides as a counterweight to the beef, pork and poultry. At the bar, the caipirinha comes as Brazil intended, built on cachaça, lime and sugar. Reviewers consistently highlight the meat quality and attentive service, which makes it a strong pick for celebrations, date nights and larger parties.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Reserve ahead through OpenTable or Bullvino’s website, especially for weekend evenings and groups. Weeknights are calmer, as are early seatings. Arrive hungry and pace yourself at the salad bar so you have room for the rotating cuts. Check the current menu for drinks and desserts before you go. The restaurant sits a short walk from Union Depot, where you can catch the Metro Green Line. Mears Park and CHS Field are close by, so a pre-dinner stroll or post-game meal fits easily into a Lowertown evening.
