| - Brasa is an incredible experience...for a meat lover! For my preparation, I eat a small breakfast and skip lunch which positions my stomach well for being able to sample whatever meat I desire :)
The basket of bread pieces w/cheese you start out with is quickly forgotten, don't think they really need that considering all the food available. The sides that come out are just a few small plates that take up some room on the table, but the fried bananas standout as truly special to me. Their salad bar is pretty good, but it's meant for having something to eat in addition to the array of meats which are the star of this place. If you want to eat from the salad bar first, verify your card is turned over to red so you aren't surprised when people start showing up with meat.
While I believe the flank steak is the best, most flavorful item, all their meats are very good. You will generally get skewers of chicken, ham, pork, lamb, turkey, and steak. There will be different varieties of these foods of course, for example filet mignon wrapped in bacon or w/parmesan cheese. Or, you could get served sausage and pork ribs, etc. Also, let either your waiter or a man with a skewer(gaucho) you want a particular meat if you are frustrated with the meat you have been seeing come to your table. Since they follow a rotation, there's always a chance the skewer of meat you want has been taken down by a table of 12 before it gets to your table :P
I probably eat a week's worth of recommended protein during the meal and the price is significant, which definitely makes this a special occasion kind of place for me.
