Brazil Churrasco

Read about the Brazil Churrasco in a magazine and decided to try out the Brazilian food for dinner. Yup, my first visit.




The restaurant I patronized is located at the Lock Road, Gillman Village along the Alexandra Road where HP, NOL and PSA Building are located. The restaurant is very nicely designed with colourful and modern feel. The layout is good with a round buffet salad bar in the center of the restaurant. Customers can easily access to the salad in regards to where they sit. Of course, the music is lively and creates a very relaxing dining experience. No samba music and dance (ie not live performance). Easy to find parking lots nearby or just in front of the restaurant (though with limited lots).




The restaurant only offers buffet lunch/dinner from Mon - Sat (Not open on Sun). Beverages have to be ordered separately that include wine, cocktail, mocktails and coffee/tea. Besides the salad bar, the main course of the buffet is the grilled / BBQ meat such as chicken, beef, mutton, fish, chicken heart/liver, ham, sausages and pineapple. There is not main course corner at the restaurant. Instead, u will see waiters carrying different freshly grilled meats serving the customers by moving from table to table. It is important to say no politely to them at times especially when you already have enough food to chew else it may not taste so nice when the meat turns a bit cold.



For the main course, i love the chicken heart, fish and pineapples. I must say that i enjoy the pineapples very very much. Though it is grilled, the pineapple is juicy and sweet. It goes very well with the main course to make u feel less "meaty" after u have a few round of grilled items. Must try and ask for more. :-) As i dun eat beef, hence no comments about its quality. Basically, the meats are tasty and well seasoned.


I also love the salad bar. Pretty different in terms of its varieties and the way it is prepared as compare to say Swensen's salad bar. I like the ceaser salad, pumpkin, fresh tomato, fried banana and mushroom. They also provide noodle and rice as hot items as part of the salad offering. The staff service level is pretty good.




Well, it is pretty expensive. S$42 per adult for dinner (excluding drinks).
