Brazillian Bbq Restaurant

[jkzero]

I was on the plane on the way here a couple of months back and i'm sure I read about aq brazillian bbq place that was in a hotel.. but i cant remember any details?! it's our anniversary on wed and we'd like to go.. can anyone shed any light on what / where?

jkzero, i am not sure there is a proper churrascaria in phuket. from what i have been told - i've never been there- the closest thing to it may be "la locanda" restaurant on patak road in kata. it apparently serves a variety of steaks, grilled meats and fine wines and has an "argentinian" kitchen. not so sure if that will help you or not. i know you live in rawai, have you given sala mexicali a go yet? not brazilian by any means, but they do great mexican food. there's also a place in town called "cha cha cha" that does latin american food.

Laconda was the only one I've ever heard of and IIRC, they used to have a night where it was all you could eat, but that was a while ago.

amyb, is sala mexicali's service still as slow as if you were in Mexico itself and it was siesta time?

Yes, Moevenpick is the call. Contact Carlos Vizan the F&B, great guy.

steelepulse, the last time i was there it sure was! i am not going to complain about their slow service, though. i usually go there alone, order a glass of wine and read a book/magazine while i wait. for me, the freshness of the food is worth it!

If by Brazilian you mean where they come round with skewers and you can keep going as much as you like ??

Then they used to do this in Karon.. Along Karon beach rd closer to the circle than the kata end.. Look for the place with interior lights changing color and IIRC flaming braziers outside ??

That's the Movenpick, already mentioned above.

Cha Cha Cha closed a while back. The Ecuadorian owner was an excellent chef and even made a special South American rice pudding just for me. Sadly, bad location and partner woes. But not Brazilian style.

It may have been Rio Grill in the Asia Hotel in BKK

Take your credit card?

[jkzero]

i dont have a job, why would i have a credit card =))

actually the food was amazing and truely all you can eat.. the baked pinapple prolly topped it for me.

it was 999b per person + tax and drinks are pretty expensive too, but considering it's a once a year thing.. no problems.

a comparable feed in oz would by twice that.

wish wine wasn't so fkn expensive in thailand tho!!
