| - This place is one of the best examples of a Brazilian churrascaria (Barbecue house) serving meat "rodizio" style - that is, Passadores ("meat waiters") bring various cuts of meat out on giant skewers, which are then carved and served to you individually until you cry "no more!". It is a shrine to savoury, umami, & barbecue. And a heck of a lot of fun.
There's more, though! Your meal starts with a trip to their well-stocked salad bar, cold and hot buffet. The salads are quite good, and charcuterie items delicious. The hot items change regularly - for us tonight it was various forms of potato or rice, beef lasagna, a fish stew, and a bean dish.
Don't fill up there, though! The real star of the show is the barbecue - served to you when you flip over the chit at your table to "blue" - and they keep serving until you can't take anymore. :)
Also brought to the table are delicious warm, moist cornbread, deep-fried banana and Pão de Queijo - tapioca cheese bread puffs that are not to be missed!
The selection varies based on day of the week - from what I can tell, Fri-Sun is the full menu, while the remainder serve a slimmed down menu. Items not to miss: cheese-infused prime rib, garlic marinated ribeye, chimichurri steak, Parmesan crusted chicken, and their "house steak" - picanha, a top sirloin cap that is the star of the show.
At the end, you are served delicious BBQ pineapple dusted in cinnamon and sugar.
You will not be disappointed. :)
