Meat lovers are familiar with this Brazilian and Portuguese specialty: long skewers of grilled meat served at the table still on the skewer, sliced upon request from the guests. Here are 5 places where you can enjoy this dish!
For beginners, picanha is a cut of beef, typically prepared with the fat intact, and grilled on a skewer. It’s particularly loved for its tenderness and unique flavor. You’ll also often see the term “rodizio” on restaurant menus alongside picanhas. In Brazil, “rodizio” refers to a type of service where waiters bring grilled meats on skewers to the table, offering as much as you want. Hence, picanha is simply one of the most popular meats served in this style of meal.
