A Brazilian steakhouse, commonly known as a \"churrascaria,\" is a dining establishment that specializes in the traditional Brazilian barbecue style of cooking meat. These restaurants are renowned for their \"rodízio\" service, where a variety of skewered meats, such as beef, pork, lamb, and chicken, are slow-cooked over an open flame.
Our Customers experiences a continuous tableside service where servers, known as \"gauchos,\" carve the meats directly onto the diners' plates. The rodízio style allows patrons to enjoy a wide selection of meats until they are satisfied, with the serving process continuing until they signal for it to stop.
In addition to the succulent meats, Brazilian steakhouses often offer an expansive salad bar with a variety of fresh vegetables, cheeses, and side dishes to complement the main courses offering a unique and popular dining experience.","diningStyle":"Elegant Dining","publicTransit":"","executiveChef":null,"entertainment":null,"cateringDetails":"","website":"http://www.riobrazilsteakhouse.com/","hoursOfOperation":"Dinner\n
