When visiting Orlando and you're looking for a fine dining experience, Texas de Brazil Churrascaria (steakhouse) is definitely one you don't want to miss. Located at the east end of International Drive and right across Interstate 4 from Universal Studios, Texas de Brazil will make you go away and look for a place to lie down!
When you enter you are greeted by a first rate wait staff who greet you and escort you to your seat. You can start with a drink from the full service bar or order table drinks. I like to get a few bottles of sparkling water and iced tea.
You'll enjoy the refrigerated salad bar with over 60 items such as salmon, bacon, home made hard bread along with gourmet soups, vegetables, cheese, and more. Dinner will be a long event as you work your way through the salad bar. You'll want to take a few minutes break before moving on to the entree specials. You'll flip your table card and the carvers will come to your table slicing gourmet meats such as beef, lamb, pork, and Brazilian sausage
Also included with your dinner are traditional side items like mashed or Au gratin potatoes, rice, and and house-baked Brazilian cheese bread. They have every type of wine you can imagine and if you still have room you can choose from assorted desserts. Or you can have a cup of espresso and a fine cigar. Any way you do it you might want to skip lunch before trying to conquer this menu.
Your manager will visit you and the service is second to none. Prices are a little more than a family of four usually spends. Children under 2 are free, children 2-5 are $5.00, 6-12, half-price, and adults are $46.99. They give 10% discount for folks over 65 and 15% for military and veterans.
If you join their E club you'll receive discounts for birthdays and anniversaries. I rate the dining experience at Texas de Brazil an "A". Service, atmosphere, and food quality make this an awesome dining experience. Prices are a little high but we only go there with coupons or rare special occasions. It's always "spot on" for enjoyment and I know you'll have a great time.
