Brazil: Where To Find The Best Churrascaria In Rio De Janeiro

Beyond its thriving football scene, Brazil has a lot to offer. A trip to this South American country is not complete without a churrascaria or traditional Brazilian barbeque experience! This all-you-can-eat dining option has long been popular amongst carnivores and foodies – and the best place to treat yourself to some is none other than in Brazil itself. If you’re ready to feed your inner gluttony and discover Brazil’s traditional culinary scene, here’s where to find the best churrascaria in Rio De Janeiro:

Majórica

Despite being around for a while, Majórica’s standards still remain sky-high! That’s how this famous churrascaria has managed to maintain its reputation in the city. It’s also been awarded for serving the best meat in Rio De Janeiro’s gastronomy show. The steaks here are prepared according to gaucho tradition and they’re simply irresistible.

Marius Degustare

Besides serving cuts of meat, Marius Degustare also offers all-you-can-eat buffets for fish, seafood, oysters and lobsters. It is recommended to order their speciality, the Japanese wagyu or Kobe beef while you’re there. Although the interiors appear a bit quirky and attract a fair bit of tourists, it doesn’t compromise the quality and quantity of food there.

Porcão

Porcão is the go-to place when you’re looking for a churrascaria in Rio. This top diner sets the bar for other churrascarias, offering one of the largest buffets you’ll come across in the city. Free pasteis, fries and onion rings will are served as part of the buffet, but don’t forget to save some space for Porcão’s pork ribs, as well as their bife de ancho!

Estrela do Sul

With various locations all over Rio, Estrela do Sul offers 30 different variations of meat, more than 10 side options, a salad buffet and both hot and cold dishes. If you’re a huge fan of garlic, a must-try dish here is the bife com alho, a succulent beef steak marinated with garlic. This restaurant is super affordable, but keep in mind that prices may vary according to location.

Churrascaria Palace

Get an extra bang for your buck at the Churrascaria Palace. This restaurant is a slightly more affordable option of the classic churrascarias you’ll find. It might be cheaper than the rest, but this doesn’t mean that the quality of food is compromised! The Churrascaria Palace is your best bet if you’re on a tight budget and still wish to experience the joys of an all-you-can-eat meat buffet. They also offer a sushi and seafood menu, together with fresh salads.

Rio/Brasa

The Rio/Brasa churrascaria is a family-friendly spot with plenty of local character. Rumour has it that this is the only churrascaria where locals of Rio, “cariocas”, go for a meat buffet. This authentic all-you-can-eat buffet spot serves 40 different cuts of meat – enough to leave you satisfied for days. A must-try here is the picanha – a lightly seasoned and sliced Brazilian beef.

You officially have an excuse to ditch the calorie count and take a bite out of some of the world’s most succulent meat at the best places in Rio! How satisfying does that sound?
