Carretao Churascaria
Are you a carnivore? Do you enjoy a nice slab of delicious beef? If so, then you must try a churascaria when you go to Brazil.
A churascaria, or steak-house is an all-you-can-eat food (mostly meat) fest.
It includes the salad bar, and then a parade show of different types of beef.
Definitely an experience you should not miss.
As they say in Brazil, "esta bom",or it's good! more
