Warwick Restaurant Guide

How can dinning out be more interesting? Say with a bloused and pantalooned waiter in high black boots who looks like he just road in off the pampas and carries long sword-like skewer after skewer laden with fragrant roasted meats, fresh off the grill and carves them tableside for you?

If you are willing to forgo the sameness of most dining experiences, you can find this South American form of dining at Gauchos do Brazil in Route 2 Warwick.

300 Years of Tradition

Imagine sitting on a high pampas plateau, cows and llamas milling about (maybe not together, but milling and the scent of meat roasting over an open campfire and carved straight onto the plate.

That is the basic image behind Gauchos do Brazil relatively simple menu. Traditional churrasco is simple: a large open pit barbecue where beef, pork, chicken and lamb are slow roasted over open flames.

It's the traditional form of barbeque for the cowboys of the South (gauchos), of the area that borders on Brazil, Argentina, and Peru.

The Atmosphere

Gauchos do Brazil's interior is warm and elegant, adding a granite salad-and-hot-food bar, there are over 12 Big screen TVs throughout 4 dining rooms and a full service Bar and Lounge for those searching for something more casual.

The bar offers a well-lit setting with 6 big screen TVs, marble tables and barstools. Authentic paintings from the south of Brazil encircle both the bar and dining room, providing a look into a world more than 300 years young. The dining room is a nice cross between casual and formal dining. Tables are set with bright Burgundy linens, fine crystal water goblets imported from Brazil, and colorful cylinders that make this style of dining possible.
