The dinner course commonly served in Brazilian restaurants in Richmond, Virginia, consists of 11 types of meats in skewers and a salad bar offering typical Brazilian side dishes and salads. Three popular Brazilian steakhouses offer mouth-watering menus at a price worth paying for.
Ipanema Grill
Like all churrascaria, it offers the full 11 meats in one dinner course. When you think you have enough of the meat parade, you can turn to munching on pineapples to help digest the meat or you can try acai cheesecake, passion fruit mousse or Brazilian flan for dessert. For drinks, Ipanema Grill serves guarana, a type of Brazilian soft drink, and cafezinho, which is Brazilian coffee served in a demitasse cup.

The Australian cold-water lobster tail and the Brazilian shrimp cocktail are what separate Texas de Brazil from the other Brazilian restaurants in Richmond.

From the salad bar, 50 to 60 selections of side dishes of mixed vegetables and salads accompany these sumptuous Brazilian steaks. To help ease the mixture of flavors on one's palate, choose from a variety of vintage wines or order a fresh mix of the caipirinha, the signature cocktail of Texas de Brazil.
