Menu Guide
Everything on the grill and the gourmet bar, explained.
Fire-Grilled Meats
- PicanhaPicanha is the cut that defines Brazilian churrasco: the top sirloin cap, seasoned with coarse salt, skewered in a horseshoe curve and grilled over open flame.
- RodizioRodizio is the Brazilian style of continuous service: carvers circle the dining room with skewers of grilled meat until you tell them to stop.
- ChurrascoChurrasco is the grilling tradition carried north from the pampas of southern Brazil, where meat is salted simply and cooked over live fire.
- Brazilian SteakhouseA Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria, serves many cuts across one meal instead of a single plated steak.
- Top SirloinLean, beefy and quick to take on smoke, top sirloin is one of the most requested skewers on the floor.
- Filet MignonThe most tender cut on the rotation, served plain or wrapped in bacon depending on the skewer.
- Bacon-Wrapped FiletFilet mignon wrapped in bacon, grilled until the bacon crisps and the beef stays rare in the middle.
- Lamb ChopsLamb chops seasoned simply and grilled over live fire until the exterior chars and the center stays pink.
- Leg of LambA full leg of lamb takes hours over the fire, and gets carved in thin, well-seasoned slices.
- Beef RibsBeef ribs cook the longest of anything on the grill, which is what makes them fall apart on the fork.
- Linguica SausageLinguica is the Brazilian pork sausage that traditionally opens a churrasco.
- Garlic SteakSirloin pressed with garlic before it hits the fire, so the crust turns nutty and aromatic.
- Parmesan PorkPork loin rolled in parmesan that melts and crisps into a savory shell over the fire.
- Grilled ChickenChicken legs and bacon-wrapped chicken pieces cooked slowly so the skin crisps without drying the meat.
- Flank SteakA lean, boldly beefy cut sliced against the grain so each piece stays tender.
- Sirloin CapThe sirloin cap is the muscle that becomes picanha once the fat cap is left on and it is curved onto a skewer.
The Gourmet Bar
- Gourmet Salad BarOur gourmet bar is a full spread of salads, cured meats, cheeses and hot Brazilian dishes, included with the rodizio.
- FeijoadaFeijoada is Brazil's national dish: black beans slow-cooked with pork, served over rice with farofa and orange.
- Pao de QueijoPao de queijo is the small, chewy Brazilian cheese bread made with tapioca flour.
- FarofaFarofa is toasted cassava flour, the crunchy counterpoint Brazilians scatter over grilled meat and beans.
- Fried PolentaPolenta cut into batons and fried until the outside crackles and the inside stays creamy.
- Fried BananasSweet fried bananas are the traditional Brazilian foil to salty grilled meat.
- Brazilian Rice and BeansWhite rice and slow-simmered black beans, the everyday foundation of a Brazilian meal.
- ChimichurriHerb-and-vinegar sauces cut through rich grilled meat without covering it.
- Charcuterie and CheesesA rotating selection of cured meats and cheeses sits alongside the salads on the gourmet bar.
- Seasonal SaladsSalads change with what is in season, from simple greens to marinated vegetables and grain dishes.
Dietary
- Gluten-Free OptionsMost of a Brazilian churrasco is naturally gluten free, because the meat is seasoned with salt and nothing else.
- Vegetarian OptionsVegetarians can order the gourmet bar without the meat service and still eat extremely well.
- Keto and Low-Carb DiningRodizio is one of the easiest restaurant formats for a low-carb diet.
- Kids and Family DiningRodizio suits families because everyone eats at their own pace and children can build their own plate.
Occasions
- Date NightA rodizio dinner is unhurried by design, which makes it a natural date night.
- Birthday DinnerBirthdays work well here because the format handles a table of any size without a set menu.
- Anniversary DinnerA long dinner, carved table-side, is a straightforward way to mark an anniversary.
- Large Group DiningRodizio is built for groups: no single-plate orders, no staggered kitchen tickets, everyone served at once.
- Corporate DinnersBusiness dinners run smoothly here because nobody waits on the kitchen.
- Rehearsal DinnersA rehearsal dinner needs a room that can hold a crowd and food that arrives without a queue.
- Holiday PartiesDecember books early, so holiday parties are worth arranging well in advance.
- Graduation DinnerGraduation weekends bring big, mixed-age tables, which is exactly what rodizio handles best.
