• Brazilian Steakhouse • Madison

Booked 19 times today

For those of you who are not current or former gauchos who roam the prairies of Brazil, you might need an explanation of our style of service. At the end on a long day of work tending to cattle and stock, Brazilian cowboys (Gauchos) and their families would prepare great feasts. They would skewer various meats, roast them over a fire pit and bring them to the table for carving. There would be a bounty of seasonal vegetables, stews and salads using fresh ingredients from the fruits of their labor.

Our party of 4 all liked their food, appetizers, and drinks. We ate outside and it was lovely. I emailed beforehand and asked about allergies so I didn’t have to ask too many questions in front of our guests. I got a detailed and helpful response from Merchant to help me order with ease. Thank you!
