Vill D'aldeia Churrascaria - Sao Jose dos Campos


Brazil is famous for its Churrascarias which are grill restaurants featuring various meats including beef, lamb, pork, and chicken. Each also has exceptional salad bars with traditional as well as exotic offerings. Once a patron is ready to eat meat, he turns over a marker and the servers begin rotating to your table offering a slice of meat. If you want a piece, they will slice it part way and you then pluck it with some tongs and they slice it the rest of the way. The server then returns it to the grill where it is re-seasoned and then cooked some more for the next round. This process continues until you use your marker to indicate you have had enough. It's a bit theatrical, much like a Benihana restaurant for Japanese food but it is a real dining treat not to be missed in a trip to Brazil.
