Churras *UPDATED*
Image: “You’re new to Brazilian? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you,” echoes from a neighbouring table. And take care of you is exactly the Brazilian passadores do; their skin glistening as they man the churrasco before a back-lit image of Christ the Redeemer.
“You’re new to Brazilian? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you,” echoes from a neighbouring table. And take care of you is exactly the Brazilian passadores do; their skin glistening as they man the churrasco before a back-lit image of Christ the Redeemer. The formula has been refined over the last year – no more stop/go, just a steady stream of skewers in a carefully orchestrated samba that avoids repetition. Rodizio ($39.50/head) includes a range of sides. The standouts are the black beans and the super-sweet ripe bananas; but the farofa helps the fat go down. As well as now allowing you to dine downstairs with a view of the always-entertaining Oxford Street, they’ve also added few new entries to the barbeque procession; so keep your eyes peeled for golden hunks of haloumi, and beef with Gorgonzola sauce. I also recommend tender chicken hearts, tasty pork neck, beef rib and the amazing mushrooms. Salty food makes cocktails necessary, so throw down a Passionfruit Caipirinha ($14) or a fresh lime Caipiroska ($12). Freshly sliced berries make the Strawberry Caipirinha ($14) a form of sweet relief. Wrap up with tiny balls of condensed milk – Beijinho ($2) – so good they must be illegal.
