You are NOT going to find a better meal for the money in Sao Paulo! This place has a pretty great…read moresalad bar and a sweet dessert bar. The selection of meats is not as extensive as other churascarias, but the meats (which include sirloin, rib eye, spicy and mild sausage, chicken breasts and thighs, and chicken hearts) are more than enough to satisfy your appetite. Extra garlic is available for whichever selection you make, too. Come hungry, and if you don't walk out with a full belly, it's your own fault!

What a delightful find in the Food Court beside the Sheraton WTC--Sao Paulo. There were just 4…read moreoutlets open at the time of my visit--Burger King, McDonald's a Japanese Poke Bowl place and Mania de Churrasco. 3 retail staff young men were happily devouring their meals from MdC, so I ordered my plate as well--a Bife de Chorizo with fries, 7 grain rice, Caesar Salad. I added 2 Longaniza and a Pao (a lot like their cheese bread but grilled!). The Longaniza was on the firm dry side but so flavorful it perked up the grainy rice that had a reed like wild rice flavor. The fries were spot on pomme frites and the caesar salad was alright--fresh and good dressing. My steak was grilled spot on medium, and had a lovely char. Firm bite like a proper sirloin with a deep beefiness that satisfied. I ordered a refreshing passion fruit lemonade to brighten the meal and enjoyed munching on the passion fruit seeds.

Come hungry to sample the food of Brazil's famed Minas Gerais region. There's a lot of pork and…read morecarbs aplenty - rice, mashed potatoes and of course, manioc in many varieties! At lunch they offer a buffet which I took advantage of, indulging in a little of everything given that this was my first foray into comida mineira. Now I understand why Brazilians so revere the food from this part of the country. At the conclusion of your meal, help yourself to a shot of cachaça from the barrel behind the desserts!

Friendly staff, but the guy stood by and seemed to watch us while we ate. I'm sure he was there to…read morebe ready for our needs, but it was a little creepy. We dined on a holiday, so there were very few patrons. The buffet was good and most of the food was hot. You can also order grilled meats to your liking. The salad bar was quite varied and included a few soups. The main bar was extensive and I tried to sample a bit of everything. I loved the okra! Because of the holiday, they didn't have any cakes out, just a selection of puddings. Some were good, others were...interesting. There is also a kind of tequila with little plastic cups for shots. We had all had 2 each, a nice way to end the night. There was a cherry liqueur, but to me it was too much like cough syrup, so I didn't enjoy that. I had to caiprihanas, and while good, they were over $8 each and I wound up spending more on drinks than the meal! If I return, I'd not order the drinks. It's not the best buffet I've been to in Sao Paulo, but I was not disappointed in the food.
