Hmm...Hmm...Hmm... Brazilian Cuisine

Every country has its delicacies, and Brazil is no stranger! From traditional feijoada (bean stew with pieces of pork), to succulent steakhouses and what is rated as the best Italian food in the world, Brazil has something to offer specific to every region.

Served in typical Gaucho style, the tradition originated in Southern Brazil in the 1900's and is carried in churrascarias throughout the world.

The term "rodizio" is similar to a buffet, however, there are over 12 kinds of prime cut meats to choose from in addition to having an immense variety of side dishes.

A meat-lover's paradise, Porcao Churrascaria

is very well-known throughout the world.

Frommer's Magazine has details available

for pricing and driving information.

For an affordable alternative, Gaucho Rodizio in Pompano Beach does not disappoint! I've taken family and friends there and since it's smaller than most rodizio-style restaurants, it provides a very comfortable atmosphere. This restaurant also provides samba and capoeira shows on the weekends. Check their website for event information.

Another churrascaria, Texas De Brazil is slowly taking over the U.S. with it's ever-growing franchise chain. The restaurant's decor is very modern and lavish, providing an upscale dining experience. Pricing varies per location.

To top everything off, all Brazilian restaurants offer authentic drinks and dessert to complete your mouth-watering dining experience. Enjoy!
