Pampas Rodizio Dinner

Meat, on a sword, at your table...Pampas Brazilian Grille inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood is not your average restaurant in a mall. Pampas serves up something different, not just in the food, but in how they serve it. Fresh grilled meats are served on a long skewer and brought to your table to be carved tableside. There are 11 different meats making their way around the room, usually three or four at a time. The finest cuts of meat are prepared with traditional Brazilian spices and spit-roasted over a brick Rodizio to perfection. Meat selections include picanha (noble sirloin), which is typically the most popular cut. There is also a chicken skewer that comes to your table, perfectly seasoned with hints of a secret blend of Brazilian spices, rock salt, and red and yellow peppers. When dining at Pampas Brazilian Grille, be prepared for a little something different. About 30 percent of staff members are Brazilian. Our Brazilian waiter said the cooking reminds him of home. That's a good sign. The delicious meat offerings, great salad and side bar, paired with the casual-dining environment and simple, rustic décor is why Pampas should be a must-visit on your vacation "to do" list.
