Avenida Brazil stays true to the foundations of the traditional Brazilian churrascaria. We offer a world class upscale dining experience with several of the finest cut meats, amazing side dishes, desserts and a full bar that includes red & white wines from across the globe.

The experience is split up into two parts

Part 1: Salad Bar - After being seated, guests can help themselves to our gourmet salad bar stocked with more than 30 fresh items.

Part 2: Meat - At each of our seats, we include a coaster with a red side and a green side. Once back at their table, guests can start signaling our gauchos (meat servers) by flipping over the coaster to the red side. This indicates that the guest is ready to enjoy the 13+ succulent meats, which include lamb, beef, chicken, and fish. As an accent to the meat, we provide five delicious side dishes.

    We went for our anniversary and it was lovely. It was a Monday night so we were the only ones in the restaurant that evening and the service was great! The meats were delicious and all cooked to perfection. The sides bar was a little underwhelming, however the cocktails, desserts, and cooked food were all amazing. Ashely was our main server and she was so attentive and friendly.
    Avenida Brazil - WoodlandsResponded on 11 November 2024
    Thank you for choosing Avenida Brazil for your anniversary celebration, Dorie! We're delighted that you found the evening lovely and enjoyed our attentive service, especially from Ashley. It's wonderful to hear that you loved our meats, cocktails, and desserts. We appreciate your feedback on the sides bar and will use it to enhance our offerings. We're honored to have been part of your special day and look forward to creating more memorable moments for you in the future!

    The food often made it to our table cold/luke warm. The food in my opinion was not worth the price. Seafood overcooked. Service was pretty good.
