Churrasqueria
Brazilians were the first to raise cattle in South America,
imported from Cape Verde to São Paulo in the 1530s.
Churrasco (pronounced shoo-RAS-koo) or Brazilian barbecue
was the traditional staple food of the gaúchos or cowboys of
Southern Brazil for centuries before it spread to Rio de
Janeiro and São Paulo. It has become very fashionable and
there are excellent churrascarias (restaurants specializing
in Brazilian barbecue) all over Brazil and around the world.
These are called Churrasqueria de rodízio because waiters
move from table to table bringing different types of meats
on skewers from which they slice portions onto your plate.
At Pica Tapas Bar and Churrasqueria we serve BBQ
Churrasqueria "eat as much as you can". Enjoy different cuts
of meat from our firewood BBQ served by our "Passador" a
waiter carrying a long skewer of meat that will come to your
table.
Upon arriving, our staff will give you a two sided card
(green on the front and red on the back) to place next to
your plate in order to control the flow of food: Green Card
meaning "More meat please" whilst Red Card meaning "It's
enough, I'm full".
