Casa do Brasil

Frommer's Review

This big, bustling place is a carnivore's paradise, and probably the best bottomless Brazilian meat restaurant in Israel. Everything here is delicious; only great self-discipline and the heat of Eilat's long, torrid summer will keep you from overeating. Meats are prepared on rotisserie grills imported from Brazil under the supervision of a Brazilian Israeli (whose family fled the Nazis in 1935), and his tasty Brazilian meatballs (bolinho), chorizo sausages, and chimichurra are all special. A cheerful serving staff brings appetizers, bread, olive tapenade, salad, rice, a little pot of Brazilian chili con carne, fries, and other treats to your table. Then the real parade begins: filet; baby lamb; beef ribs; chicken wings; goose liver; aged, flavorful entrecote; baby chicken basted in a sauce of honey, white wine and soy; and duck breast. The menu varies at different times of day and season, but goes on and on. A less-expensive luncheon parade offers less variety. Children's meals are NIS 50 ($11) and there's a selection of pastas and Brazilian style pizza, in case you manage to drag a vegetarian here. You can also order from an a la carte menu, but few do. Some nights there's Brazilian entertainment, and for those who can still move, excellent Brazilian desserts or refreshing fruit sorbets to finish.
