The restaurant’s unique concept offers a one-price menu for guests to select from 15 types of meats, then a gaucho comes around with swords of meat and you eat until you’re satisfied. Popular items in the menu include Picanha – rumpsteak; Costela – tender juicy beef ribs; Filet Mignon – cut from the tenderloin and seasoned; Alcatra – cut from the top sirloin; Fraldinha – cut from the bottom sirloin; Cordiero – young leg of lamb sliced off the bone and served as chops; and Frango – an array of cuts including chicken legs and breasts wrapped in beef bacon.
