| - It was my second time here at Gaucho's and I have to say, it is still delicious. BBQ-ed on giant skewers, Gaucho's really hits the spot if you are craving that good ole Alberta beef. I've been to other rodizio restaurants before (such as Copacabana in Toronto and Bolero in Calgary) so needless to say, this was not my first Brazilian rodeo.
Included in the dinner price ($40 per person) is Top Sirloin, Rump Steak, Parmesan beef, Spicy Steak, Chicken Wings, Sausages, Lamb, Chicken Wrapped Bacon, pork ribs ... etc My favourite was the lamb which was good because it didn't have a really strong gamey taste that is commonly associated with cooking lamb. There was also some nice crispy basa fish at the buffet bar which was really tasty.
One star deducted for the lack of grilled pineapple served skewer style (though it IS on their dessert menu at an additional $8).
If I am in town again, I would want to also try their Brazilian mate (pronounced: Mah-tay) which is a loose tea that is consumed from a coconut-looking cup and a metal straw with holes at the bottom.
