"Seasoned just so for nearly 50 years, this always-crowded temple of beef offers no cowboy shows or endless skewers of speared meat, but this is where locals go for their carne (meat) fix."

"Appropriately kitted out in typical regional costume, gaucho-dressed staff pass through the large, busy dining room in co-ordinated fashion serving the very best cuts of Brazilian and Uruguayan meats. This branch of the Fogo de Chão churrascaria chain keeps to what it does well: excellent meat, unparalleled service, plus a top-quality and innovative buffet of salads and cold dishes."

"It serves some of the city’s best cuts of beef, which are grilled over an open flame — the heart of churrasco culture, which for many Brazilians is restricted to prime cuts of meat and coarse salt."

"The ribs, which stand exposed at the entrance of the restaurant, were impeccable. Tender and tasty. Picanha with garlic was also perfect."

"Undoubtedly one of the best churrascarias of Foz. As a starter, you can choose palm hearts, asparagus heads, broccoli, tabbouleh, with all sauces hot in the world. Then, the boys offer you their skewers, their sausages, their hot pineapples for a show of rodizio, where the cattle book the star. The meat is a remarkable tenderness."

"Brazil is renowned for churrasco (grilled meat) and Braseiro da Gávea is famous for serving the best barbecue on the block. Turn up hungry as each cut of picanha (fillet steak) is juicier than the last."

"Serious gaúcho country means serious meat. Indulge yourself at one of Porto Alegre's best – and most touristy – churrascarias. The live entertainment is tacky but loved by patrons."
