Churrascaria- Viva Brazil Liverpool

[Youstolemyname]

I am off to http://www.vivabrazilrestaurants.com/ tonight with my pal and his wife for a feast of epic proportions. Having been before I know what to expect:

BBQ'ed meat served until you can eat no more!

Am quite a fan of the concept, first went to one in LA a couple of years ago. Meat can sometimes be a bit over seasoned- to get you to drink more and eat less I expect- but when it's good, oh man is it good!!!

Anyone else been to these type of places before?

Well, it was fantastic as usual. Perfectly BBQ'ed steak, gammon, chicken, pork, lamb, sausages, beef ribs and pork ribs. Just an incredible amount of meat, all perfectly seasoned and cooked.

For those asking how it works, it's as follows:

You go up to the 'buffet' area and grab a plate and select accompaniments; these include things like sauteed spinach, garlic mash, spicy wedges, cous cous, garlic mushrooms, bread, cheese, cold cuts etc.

You then take a seat and the passadors come around with their BBQ'ed cuts of meat on a skewer. They ask you if you would like a slice and if you do, you grab it with tongues as they cut it.

You have a little disc, one side red, one side green. If you leave it green side up, the passadors keep coming and offering you meat. If you leave it red side up, they leave you alone until you turn it back up green.

Simples.

The kicker is the price, it's normally £24 per head which makes it pricey with drinks and questionable about how much value you are getting unless you can eat like a monster! We had a voucher to knock it down to £13 a head which is the lunchtime price- a fair price I think.

Either way, if you love BBQ'ed meat it is great for a treat every now and again
