Churrascaria Riodizio Tribeca

Churrascaria Riodizio Tribeca

Owner

Rodizio originated in the south of Brazil. The concept is to serve a wide variety of different cuts of meat, in succession to each diner individually, right at their table, thus there is not a traditional menu. The restaurant features a fixed-price continuous tableside service.

The first thing anyone notices about Churrascaria Tribeca is the festive atmosphere. A large lofty space, leatherette chairs and brick walls punctuated by mahogany capitals, Churrascaria Tribeca is a haven for meat lovers. Churrascaria Tribeca has worked continuously in developing a wine list to match our unique cuisine, a wine selection of depth, breath and diversity. With over 700 selections, our wine list is sure to please. Reserve now for our Festa Junina on July 17th- Traditional Brazilian Folksytle party- special menu, live band and more.

The Scene
Brick, leather, big tables and soaring ceilings establish the steakhouse mood. A convivial, executive clientele rubs shoulders with a younger, downtown crowd of protein aficionados. The structured, systematized service--which includes ferrying skewers of meat around--is friendly but highly susceptible to glitches.

The Food
A flat charge buys two all-you-can-eat courses: First, unlimited access to the salad bar and buffet, then a continuous flow of skewered meats. The buffet runs a fish-centric gamut from savory casseroles and coconut-milk stews to toughish scallops and decent sushi. And then the deluge: 15 or so different kinds of meat, all sliced at the table. The rodizio grill yields primarily well-done meats, so filet mignon, pork loin and ribs can be dry, underscored by the kitchen's heavy hand with salt, but crusty flank steaks and sirloins and juicy little sausages drip with flavor. Eat your fill of meat and skip the dessert cart.
