STEAKHOUSES IN RIO DE JANEIRO
This type of restaurant can be easily found all over the country, and that wouldn’t be different here in Rio de Janeiro. A self-respecting Brazilian loves to eat the “all-you-can-eat” system (in portuguese: Rodízio) since in this system you can eat well, for a fixed amount. These restaurants also offers much option of sides to eat with the meat.
HOW DOES IT WORKS?
Usually waiters walks around the room with the choice of noble and exotic cuts of meat such as rump steak, skirt steak, pork and different types of poultry. At the tables with the customers, there is a type of card: on one side is in red written “No, thank you!” And on the other side is in green written “Yes, please!”.
WHY THE CARDS?
These cards help the waiters with the pace of service, so they don’t have to serve customers with the cards written “No, thanks!”. It is noteworthy that the drinks and desserts you must pay separately and according to consummation.
BEYOND THE MEAT
Apart from all cuts of meat, the customers can enjoy a buffet of salads, garnishes, hot dishes, croquettes and chips that are usually available on ‘rodízios’. Some of them even offer certain options of Japanese cuisine such as sushi.
TIP
If you want to enjoy the meats and special cuts of a rodízio in a steakhouse, don’t fill your plate with garnishes, chips and croquettes. These delights will satisfy you so quickly that you won’t be able to taste the other options.
Another tip is to do a little break between dishes, so you can enjoy better the other cuts that still will come to your table.
