Meat Selections

Sirloin Steak
a brazilian favorite, this cut of beef is often considered to be the best part of the cow (even better than filet mignon!) due to its marked flavor. your taste buds will keep asking for more.

Top Sirloin
this extremely flavorful (and naturally lean!) piece is cut from the center of the sirloin. it is also a hit among meat enthusiasts.

Top Sirloin On Red Wine Sauce
chunks of top sirloin served on red wine sauce.

Filet Mignon
french for “dainty fillet“, this piece is the most tender cut of beef. also referred to as “the king of steaks” its texture will sure make you ask for seconds.

Flap Steak
some would call this “the underdog of the beef world” because of its somewhat fibrous and chewy texture however this underrated cut is packed with meaty flavor thanks to the peculiar way it is prepared by our meat masters.

Beef Ribs
the less meaty part of the chops is slowly cooked to perfection. this juicy and flavorful section can be enjoyed with or without a special sauce of your taste.

Pork Tenderloin
similar to beef, it is the most tender part of the animal. one of the leanest meats available, the pork tenderloin squeals healthy deliciousness! this variation of pork loin is grilled with parmesan cheese. its cheesy crispy outside crust enhances the flavor of this juicy cut.

Pork Tenderloin With Parmesan Cheese
similar to beef, it is the most tender part of the animal. one of the leanest meats available, the pork tenderloin squeals healthy deliciousness! this variation of pork loin is grilled with parmesan cheese. its cheesy crispy outside crust enhances the flavor of this juicy cut.

Petit Gateau
a chocoholics’ favorite! a belgian chocolate cake topped with warm chocolate sauce and served with vanilla ice cream.

Creme De Papaya
currently very popular in brazil, this is a great option for those looking for something lush and soft. comes topped with cassis liquor and served with cassis sorbet.
