Born from a walk, built with passion.

It all started during a walk. With deep love for their homeland, Brazil, and immense gratitude for the city that embraced them, Toronto, the need to unite both cultures into something meaningful became clear.

After countless ideas, combinations, initials, and even random numbers, Lucas had a bold thought: Why not simply fuse Brazil and Toronto into one word?

And so, Brato was born — BRAzil + TOronto.

Juliano, ever the cautious one, immediately researched the name’s meaning. To his surprise, in Old German, Brato means “a piece of meat”. The perfect match for what they were creating — a celebration of Brazilian BBQ in its purest form: simple, soulful, and full of flavor.

What started as an idea quickly grew into a movement.

Fuelled by a passion for festivals, food, and genuine human connection, Brato is more than just BBQ. It's about bringing people together, no matter where they’re from. In Brazil, even in the toughest times, all it takes is two bricks and a skewer to light up a grill. Meat, chicken, veggies — it doesn’t matter. The fire is part of who we are.

But more important than the food is the moment — that magical pause where we share stories, laughter, and memories around the grill. Strangers become friends, and friends become family. That’s the true power of BBQ — and that’s the spirit of Brato.

We believe that everyone deserves the chance to enjoy this experience, without the stress. That’s why our mission is simple:
Make Brazilian BBQ easy, so you can enjoy the best part — the moment.

Whether you're enjoying our skewers at a festival, hosting a backyard party, or sharing a quiet dinner at home, know that you're tasting a piece of our story. A story of love, roots, and fire.

Thank you for being part of the Brato family.
We wish you an unforgettable BBQ — and an even more unforgettable moment.
