Porto Alegre Restaurants

Na Brasa is a rodizio-style (all you can eat) churrascaria, and in a region (Rio grande do sul) that is already famous for meat, Na Brasa manages to stand out.

Prices are relatively moderate.

Come with an appetite!

Churrascaria is the name given to the place where you can have some churrasco. The translation in English to this word is Barbecue, even though they are different things.... A churrasco is meat cooked in the heat of charcoal, but with no grill. In a churrascaria, you can taste different cuts of beef. One that is specially admired is Picanha.
Many churrascarias have traditional dance shows and also traditional live music, everything for you to have a bit of the local feeling.

Favorite Dish: Picanha and Cupim are my favourite cuts. Chicken heart is also yummy!!!

You are in the heart of gaucho (cowboy) country. These, often elegant, restaurants barbeque beef and the waiters keep bringing it until you turn your special marker from green to red. Absolutely excellent quality throughout the city.

I have become used to this kind of eating and drinking, and the service which is excellent and given not with condescension but respect. soft places. wellmannered clients as well as waiters ( not this, hi, my name is david, i will be your waiter tonight, stupidness). pleasant surroundings. peaceful dining for a single traveller.
open for lunch seven days a week.
dinner from wed to sunday
many entradas, saladas, peixes, carnes, masas, omelettes, quiche and sobremesas.
a good wine list very reasonably priced considering the quality of food and the situation of the restaurant. recommended

Favorite Dish: My dinner for 7 feb 2003
bottle of leblon classic argentine malbec 2000.
madelahoes de filet ao molho de cogumelos.raris de ***ake e saute de batatas e abobrinhas
crepes de doce de lette ao molho de chocolate e sorvete de creme
cafe cortado

and it was a lovely dinner. and it is within walking distance of patheneon manhattan flats.
in the same street there are many many eating establishments, of varying dignity, this friday night,most of them were full at 11 pm.
I highly recommend this restaurant.

Along the walking street, you encounter cafe haiti. you enter through a turnstill, the elderlylady sitting there kindly smiles at you and lets you in.
you sit, diner style around large long row of seats, facing the harried girls behind who are eager to serve you.
they serve: coffee, hamburgers, empana, croquetas.
But what is amazing is that the place is full of ordinary people, run of the mill people off the street, not the pretentious bourgeoisie with their xeroxed miami looks. Hope LULA is kind to these people. He wishes to eradicate HUNGER, because there is hunger in brasil. and i am sure FIDEL will send doctors to staff at the voluntary clinics that would soon spring up to serve the poor here

Favorite Dish: the food, needless to say, is alsovery ordinary. the price reflects it

Aging men, gossiping in groups. slow passing of time, punctuted by sips. Unlike cafe Hayti in Santiago de Chile, no put on sophistication. Unlike Buenos Aires, no arrogance. Just plain and simple
People who seem to have lived a good life and now enjoying their time on their hands. Cafe cortado for R 2, a woman barely out of her teens, buxom and of mixed african ancestry, smiles as she puts down the cup.

Decorated with ship motives, a certain British atmosphere, the bar, the restaurant and the beer house have excellent atractions as typical seafood dishes and sandwiches. Jazz is played while the conversation goes on.

don't miss any real Churrasco or Rodizio --all you can eat buffet - with the best meat you can find in Brazil..even comparable with meat from Uruguay or Argentina...I was lucky to be brought by friends to
the Rodizio of the football-club of Churrasco, where I had for 15 Reais one of the best buffet I ever had..
