Texas de Brazil ~ A Piece of Brazil in Texas
Our next stop on our holiday weekend in Houston was Texas de Brazil for some cheesy bread!  YUM!  We just wanted to stop in and say hello to our blogger friends and enjoy some hors d’oeuvres.  This was my first time in Texas de Brazil and I was in love with the atmosphere.  The colors, staff, and of course, the cheesy bread made it all worth our stop along the way.  You can see that the view of CityCentre is beautiful from Texas de Brazil!  The doors are dramatically humongous, which made quite an impression on my 7 year old 😀  The service was amazing as everyone greeted us with a smile and went above and beyond to make us feel right at home.  We did, in deed, feel at home!
Since we just stopped in for drinks and hors d’oeuvre; I’m going to tell you about them! Â The cheesy bread was TO DIE FOR! Â I can only imagine what an entire meal would have been like, but that wouldn’t have left time or room in our bellies for the rest of our holiday evening for celebrating!
This is just a sampling of the amazing meats for which Texas de Brazil  is so well known!
MEATS
“16 Cuts Above Any Steakhouse
This Brazilian-inspired restaurant specializes in slow-roasted and perfectly seasoned cuts of beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and Brazilian sausage. This technique comes to the United States straight from Southern Brazil, where Gauchos (cowboys) prepare meals over a campfire.
At Texas de Brazil, the skilled gauchos journey through the restaurant with the grilled meats on sword-like skewers taken directly off the grill, stopping at each table to carve slices for diners. This style of service allows guests to experience a wide variety of offerings, including the following mouth-watering selections:
- Filet Mignon
- Filet Mignon wrapped in Bacon
- Braised Beef Ribs
- Lamb Chops
- Pork Ribs
- Brazilian Picanha
- Garlic Picanha
- Brazilian Sausage
- Leg of Lamb
- Chicken Breast wrapped in Bacon
- Parmesan Drumettes
- Parmesan-Crusted Pork Loin
- Flank Steak
- Herb-Marinated Pork Loin
