BEST SOUTH AMERICAN: CHURRAS

Dancing into the winning spot for South American cuisine is Churras. The Brazillian restaurant has made it mainstream to announce more, more meat! Coloured chips teasingly placed on the dining table begs you to ask for more while your waistline screams please, please stop. Unlike roulette, every chip wins. On ground level, the eating place is sparse, functional and crowded with diners and take-out patients eager for flesh. Upstairs, it’s a different menu and more dripping meat. All of the food groups are part of the dozen-plus skewers – we’re talking lamb to prawns and prime cuts to chicken hearts. Veggies on the side as well – such as honey cinnamon pineapple. Sounds like a love letter. (Olga Azar)
