Brazilian cuisine is diverse, reflecting the country's African, Indigenous, Portuguese, Italian, and Japanese immigrant influences. The most internationally known aspect is churrascaria — Brazilian steakhouse dining where waiters circulate with skewers of various grilled meats carved tableside. Beyond churrasco, Brazilian cuisine features feijoada (black bean and pork stew), moqueca (coconut milk fish stew), açaí bowls, pão de queijo (cheesy bread), and coxinha (chicken croquettes).
A churrascaria (pronounced shoo-ras-CAR-ee-uh) is a Brazilian steakhouse where you pay a fixed price for all-you-can-eat grilled meats. Servers circulate the dining room carrying large skewers of various cuts — picanha (rump cap), fraldinha (flank steak), linguiça (sausage), chicken hearts, and more. Each table has a red/green disc: green side up means keep bringing meat; red means pause. It's one of the most fun dining formats in the world.
Picanha is the star cut of Brazilian churrasco — a top sirloin cap with a thick fat cap on one side, traditionally skewered in a folded C-shape and grilled over open flame. It's served medium-rare to medium and has exceptional flavor from the fat cap. If you visit a churrascaria, this is the cut to prioritize.
Brazilian food is generally not very spicy. Malagueta peppers are used in some dishes, and hot sauce is available on request, but most Brazilian cuisine — especially churrasco — is focused on the quality and seasoning of the meat rather than heat.
