Fabulous place if you are into all your steaks! First, you get your plate and then go up to the very extensive salad bar and fill your plate! It was nice to have plain salad without dressings on. There were also cheeses, cold meats, potatoes and rice, as well as the salads. There were also various types of breads, oils, and dips. You then go back to your table, and the 'gauchos' bring the various meats road on skewers and slice the meat off in front of you. You have some little ice tongs to catch the meat! I found the chicken to die for! It's very tender, and it fell off the bone, plenty of it as well. Don't feel obliged to accept everything that they bring around, have a rest in between as you could get over faced very quickly. Some of the meats were a little too pink for me, so ask for a piece that is darker from being on the grill. There was fillet steak, rump steak, lamb (beautiful!), chicken in blankets, and baby cow! In the end, if you have room, they come round with a pineapple coated in cinnamon on a skewer that has been grilled also. This was lovely! It was one of the most expensive meals that we had, but it was a totally different experience. The restaurant got busy quite quickly. We ate inside as it was May so a little cool on an evening. There are quite a lot of seating areas outside on the terraces, which would have been lovely as it was all lit up at night. It was 56€ for adults, 33€ for children and 38€ if you didn't want the meats and just had the salad bar. Great...
