This is an all you can eat barbeque. What happens is, you are given a card which is green on one side with the words “Sim, Por Favor” and red on the reverse which says, “Nao Obrigada”. As long as you keep the green side up, the waiters will come to the table and offer all different cuts of cooked meat on massive skewers. You take a pair of tongs, point to the bit you want and they carve it off for you. The meats on offer included different cuts of beef, like steak, brisket, fillet mignon, chicken, pork, sausage, marinated lamb etc. A massive spread of accompanying sides and desserts are also available. I’m amazed this style hasn’t caught on elsewhere. The restaurant was literally just round the corner from the airport so after we had eaten our fill Julio took us there and checked us in for our flight before we said our final goodbyes. I was really sad to be leaving, not just because we had a fabulous holiday but because I felt like we were leaving a good friend behind. One day I hope we will return to this wonderful country and renew our acquaintances.</blockquote>
