| - Touro is a Brazilian steakhouse which follows the typical green (feed me) and red (I'm full) coaster format. First one I went to like this was Texas de Brazil, in Texas of course. That restaurant is a winner through and through. Touro is not quite there, but I can safely say it's better than Copacabana or Brasa in Niagara.
I'm glad to see they opened up a patio and added an a la carte menu. The AYCE is way to heavy and pricy for lunch. If you want to have a chance of survival in East Beaver Creek area, you need a lunch crowd. As is the interior, the patio is decked out. Beautiful couch seating on imitation grass , comfortable table seating, TVs to watch the World Cup, etc.
Started with the 50% off Caipirinha (thanks Yelp!). Not often I try a truly unique drink, so that was a treat. Similar to mojito, but not quite.
Next was the coconut shrimp appetizer. Good sized shrimp, fried properly, and a sweet sauce with just enough spice.
Lastly, after seeing Jennifer K's picture, I ordered the Brazilian cheesesteak. If I wasn't lazing around I would complain that it took 30 mins after my app to come out. Just after finishing that sentence I was brought a complimentary beer, all is good in the world. My cheesesteak was very good, had a pretzel type bun and loads of steak. Should have skipped the app, but as always my eyes are bigger than my stomach.
