The Rich History of the Brazilian Steakhouse

Welcome to Divina Carne, a restaurant dedicated to celebrating the authentic flavors and traditions of the Brazilian steakhouse. Brazilian steakhouses have a storied history, blending rich cultural influences and culinary expertise into the world-renowned dining experience they are today.

​

Origins of the Brazilian Steakhouse

The Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria, dates back to the 17th century in the southern region of Brazil, particularly in the vast Pampas. It was here that the steakhouse tradition began with the gauchos (cowboys) who mastered the art of slow-roasting meats over open flames. This method, combined with their love for community feasts, laid the foundation for the modern Brazilian steakhouse experience.

​

What Makes a Steakhouse Unforgettable

At the heart of any steakhouse is the meat. Brazilian steakhouses take pride in serving premium cuts, seasoned simply to highlight their natural flavors. From juicy picanha to tender lamb chops, the Brazilian steakhouse elevates every bite. The signature all-you-can-eat service, known as rodízio, sets Brazilian steakhouses apart, offering guests an unparalleled dining adventure.

​

The Evolution of the Brazilian Steakhouse

Brazilian steakhouses have evolved from rustic outdoor gatherings to sophisticated dining establishments found worldwide. Each steakhouse stays true to its roots, combining exceptional hospitality with the timeless tradition of carving meat tableside. Today, Brazilian steakhouses are synonymous with elegance, flavor, and a unique dining experience that delights guests of all ages.
