Varanda Grill

In a country that values prime beef above everything but perhaps soccer and sex, the Varanda Grill stands out. Every type and kind of beef is available: porterhouse, rib-eye, and prime rib from the United States, bife de chorizo from Argentina, picanha and baby beef from Brazil, and the house signature dish, Kobe-style beef from Japan, known for its marbled texture and melt-in-your-mouth flavor (the latter available with a 24-hr. advance reservation). Decor is spare, perhaps even a tad too minimalist, though given the quality of the beef you may not even notice. The wine list contains over 400 bottles in a range of prices and nationalities (though higher end South Americans predominate), each with a helpful short description.
