garlic and paprika.

meat-bearing gaucho chefs. Want seconds (or thirds)? No problem: just keep your disk green side up. Each meal is accompanied by bite-sized pão de queijo, addictive Parmesan cheese rolls wonderfully crispy outside but amazingly soft and chewy inside. Also brought to the table were three sides: fried polenta, mashed potatoes and fried banana. The spacious restaurant comfortably seats 200 at white-linen-covered tables. Lively recorded Brazilian music plays in the background. Chama Gaucha’s full bar stocks enticing domestic and international wines. Guaranteed to be treated like royalty! It is a second go around for us and so worth the trip. I PROMISE you won’t be disappointed!!
