So it's a very hard place to get to if you're from the north as Macleod Trail is separated by a median and you have to make a U-turn one block south or turn on the next 2 streets to get here.
So after finally arriving, this place is almost as dark as a steak house but still a pretty good atmosphere. We were seated in a u-shaped booth which made it kind of difficult to maneuver, but we managed. First came our drinks. We first ordered caipirinhas. Too much ice for a small serving. It was $7 a drink. At the other rodizios I'd been to, they were $10 but served a lot more liquor.
The buffet bar was pretty good with salad, fish, cold cuts, veggies, etc. But at these places you have to make sure you don't stuff yourself at the buffet otherwise you'll never get to really enjoy the main course. THE MEAT! Well I can't list off all the variations of beef, lamb, chicken, and fish but they were delicious to say the least. I was a little disappointed by thethe flavouring of some of the meats and pineapple. I found there was more seasoning at other places I've visited and the pineapple wasn't as caramel-ly as I've normally had.
So overall with the atmosphere and dining experience in comparison to Malagueta (Pasadena), Brasa (Niagara Falls), Red Violin and Copacabana (Toronto), this place is in the middle of the pack. But I would definitely go back just because I love Brazilian food.
