This is a tier 4 Churrascaria which is not a good thing. I will say that the service was excellent…read more The servers were really attentive and brought out the meat that we wanted in a timely manner. Now onto the problems I have with this place. The buffet is really lacking. I was in no way impressed with the selection that they had. I was actually very annoyed at how low quality selection they offered. The meat is not cooked properly. My girlfriend thought her picanha was pork because it was so tough. Granted that she likes it well done but this was like eating a leather shoe. I asked for medium rare and they brought me meat that was super super rare. I had to let the meat sit for a while just to let it cook itself. Because I was the only one in the restaurant asking for medium rare, they decided to bring everything out medium rare even though I told them I only wanted fraldinha and picanha. I didn't want the maminha nor the alcatra nor the beef ribs. However, they kept bringing them to the table bragging that they were cooked medium rare. I hope they were disappointed when I turned them down. The surprising thing for me is how they didn't throw out the meat that was cooked super well done. Instead of trying to pass it off as well done to my girlfriend, they should have simply tossed it out. The amount of meat that was still left on the stick was very little and it should have been tossed. I just can't see myself ever coming back here again. And Ataliba is supposed to be one of the better churrascarias in the city which is really really disappointing.

One of the better restaurants in Blumenau. I wish they accepted Amex like most of the other good…read morerestaurants but I won't complain too much. The format of the menu is as follows. They serve a vast selection of meats which are for 2 people. You then choose a salad from 4-6 selections. Then a type of rice from 4 selections. Then a type of potato from 6-8 selections and finally the type of farofa. They had a special of Wagyu beef when we went there. They tried to pass it off as Kobe beef but it was definitely not from Japan nor did it have the grading system of Kobe beef from Japan. That being said, I wanted my girlfriend to finally try some Wagyu so we ordered it medium rare. The beef was cooked correctly and was really soft. My girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed it. The salad that we ordered was light on the dressing and didn't really have any flavor to it. The garlic rice that was got was very good. The only problem is that in Brazil, they love to overload the plates with the fried garlic pieces which provide a crunch to the texture. I absolutely love it but the toilet doesn't later on. For the potato, we opted to pay a little bit extra for the onion rings instead. The breading was very good on the onion rings and the actual pieces of onions were gigantic. We literally arrived for dinner once the restaurant opened and by the time we left around 8, it was completely packed. I would suggest making a reservation here if you want to come later on.

Had a great seafood dish with a Brasilian side dish. Ricardo the chef does a very nice job.read more
