I have been to several Churrascarias around the world and Barbacoa is the best. In addition to a super selection of beef, the salad and dessert choices are fantastic. Don't eat the day you plan to save room for a bit of it all.

great salad buffet, but keep space for the meat show : waiters come every 5' to propose all kinds of meats on huge skewers. Goof fruit caipirinhas to help digest ! (or ?) The room is comfortable, not too noisy.

Most of the Brazilian 'churrascarias' bring more than 30 different charcoal grilled meat along with a full table of salads, cold and warm food. Mostly focused on beef. In my opinion Barbacoa is among the 10 best in São Paulo, for all meats but they always carry marvelous lamb meat and they know how to prepare it. Only great Chefs... More

I really enjoyed this place. Living in the USA I've tried both Fogo de Chao and Texas de Brazil. The quality of both can vary from location to location. I'm believe that Barbacoa Itaim is a one off and not franchised, which is a shame. The salad bar meets all the requirements of a salad bar in a Churrascaria. Being... More

very good churascaria . Excellent service. Buffet is superb. Try to eat less from the buffet as it does not leave you room to have excellent picanha

Excellent non stop Brazillian barbecue ( churrascaria rodízio ), with the best kinds of meats you can imagine. Great salad buffet with so may choises that you almost done only with it! Tip: don`t miss Bife Ancho and, go slow in the salad buffet to enjoy all the meat later.

A simple approach to dining, with great service. A very extensive buffet salad bar with a range of cold items, various green leaves, some I'm familiar with, but a number that I am not, so a particualr first. sundried-tomatoes, coleslaw and various varieties of cold meats in abundance. This however was only a prelude to the continuing roll of vaious... More

I had dinner in this restaurant. It has a very good selection of different types of meat, very good service but of course more expensive than the others nearby. USD$60/person for buffet meat + buffet salads + coke.

I dined here with a business partner. The atmosphere reminds you of a fine steak house in the States so I was excited. The salad bar and the meat were very good but the service was not up to par. It seemed every one was looking forward to just getting you served and going home. Just shows that service can... More
