These restaurants offer the usual Brazilian barbecue - churrasco, which comprises of whole cuts of meat which are skewed and barbecued in a “churrasqueira” typically built of bricks. The meat is barbecued and then brought to the table, in a service called a rodízio.
Passadores (meat waiters) roam the establishment, each handling a specific type of meat. They arrive at your table with a knife and a skewer and each individual can then either decide to take some of the dish or pass. For the inexperienced it can become quite an mind-boggling experience as skewer upon skewer is brought to the table.
Numerous kinds of meat are brought around, typically various cuts of beef, pork, lamb, chicken, duck, seafood, sausage, or any other local types of meats. Be sure to try out the barbecued pineapple with cinnamon and sugar!
The “churrascarias” generally include, complimentary to the meat, an all-you-can-eat buffet. Normally, the buffet serves salads, rice, beans, and some fish stew. Very often, these establishments also offer pao-de-queijo (similar to biscuit, but with a cheese infused bread. The bread is made of tapioca flour and cheese), and deep fried banana (typical Brazilian treats). Most often they offer Brazilian desserts, such as pudim de leite (milk pudding), passion fruit mousse, quindim (a sweet treat made of egg yolk, sugar, and coconut), and brigadeiro (made of chocolate, condensed milk, eggs, and sugar). It is absolutely worth saving room for dessert, if you can!
In Brazil, there are several “bares”, or “barzinhos”, (pubs, little pubs) where adults gather for happy hour to have caipirinhas, cocktails, beers and other cold beverages.
Snacks are commonplace, frequently they are dependent on the local foods, but many are typical all over Brazil. Polenta frita (fried polenta), pao-de-queijo (biscuits baked with cheese inside), salami Italiano, fried chicken wings, cod fish balls (deep fried pastry made with wheat flour, egg, and shredded cod fish), various cheeses, and olive platters.
It is quite typical for bars, called botequins, to offer cafe-com-leite (coffee with milk) served in a shot glass, plus fresh french bread with butter for breakfast. This is a fairly unusual for many, who are used to pubs as a night time venue.
People commonly gather in bars to watch sports events. Typically, these are soccer matches, which occur regularly and not only during the World Cup. Brazil has soccer tournaments throughout the year, and absolutely everyone has their favorite team. It isn't uncommon to see vast numbers of people promoting their team.
Brazilian pubs range from very informal, lower class establishments to very formal, higher end places. Unlike most North American pubs, most of these pubs are wide open to the public with no formal entrance.
The minimum age for drinking in Brazil is 18 years old, and if you look older than 18 it is very likely you won’t be asked to show your ID. Public drinking is allowed in most cities, and public areas.
