Brazilian churrascaria is now part of Altrincham high street with the launch of the latest branch of North West chain Bem Brasil. The restaurant, which has outlets in Manchester and Liverpool, specialises in traditional Brazilian charcoal barbecue meat dishes and a new branch opened on Ashley Road at the start of this month.
Bem Brasil Altrincham is the restaurant companys first location outside a city centre. The menu is a favourite of the Premier League's South American players, offering 15 different cuts of beef, lamb, pork and chicken. Served on skewers, the meat is barbecued and carved at the table by "meat waiters" or passadores. Unlimited trips to the buffet for side dishes of rice, stew, salad and more are included in the price.
Akin to Bem Brasil's other outlets, the new restaurant is furnished in a rustic contemporary Brazilian style. There's an additional lure too, with Brazilian pianist Lourenço Pezzuti serving up the vibes every Thursday night.
