There are a few things to keep in mind before visiting. I went on a Saturday at 11:30, and there was a large crowd in front of the restaurant. The key is to pass the crowd, speak to the lady at the entrance to register your name, and get your ticket with a number on it. When your number is called, you can go in—but the tricky part is that most of the staff don't speak English, so you'll need to understand your number in Portuguese. I waited about 30 minutes, which was fine for me. Once inside, the quality and service were impeccable. They offered a wide variety of meats, all perfectly cooked. However, I was expecting more high-quality mustard options; they only had Maille Dijon, and after tasting it, I'm not entirely sure it was the original. The all-you-can-eat "Rodizio Completo" was priced at 236 Real, which is reasonable compared to other meat restaurants, especially considering the variety, quantity, and quality of the meats. Overall, it was a great experience—just be mindful of how much meat you consume, as eating too much can lead to health concerns!
One of the best churrascaría that I’ve ever tried. I’ve been to many but this one was unique on its own. Gets really busy so I recommend to get there early to pick your number.
Chegamos as 21h30, restaurante lotado, fila de espera de mais 50 mesas. Esperamos por 1h e valeu cada minuto. Buffet impecável, farto, organizado como se o restaurante tivesse acabado de abrir, carnes variadas, deliciosas e bem servidas! Atendimento excepcional, polido, detalhista e cuidadoso. Sem defeitos! Vale a pena o investimento!
As últimas avaliações me fizeram ficar um pouco receosa, mas resolvemos arriscar. Tivemos uma experiência maravilhosa, do início ao fim. Na entrada, após a distribuição das senhas, ofereceram a opção de todos que estavam fora aguardarem no bar. O buffet tem saladas e frutos do mar muito frescos. Não achei tão variado como outras churrascarias, mas tudo de muita qualidade. A casa estava cheia, mas os garçons tinham o timing perfeito de oferecer carnes e guarnições e sempre atentos aos pedidos que fazíamos. Não deixamos de provar nada que queríamos. As carnes realmente estavam excepcionais. O atendimento foi incrível, vale a menção do garçom Denilson, extremamente simpático, atencioso e solícito, assim como a Mirian, da recepção, super educada e disposta ajudar. Por tudo que ofereceu acredito que tenha valido muito a pena.
