Where to eat Picanha?

Picanha

What is Picanha?

Picanha is a special cut of the Sirloin. It is Brazilian's favorite meat cut, I actually prefer Fraldinha, but that's a subject for another post. Picanha is usually served with Broccoli Rice, Farofa of Eggs with bananas and Potato Chips. Looks simple, but you can get the wrong version of this dish easily around the city. So be aware!

Where to have the best version of Picanha?

Braseiro da Gávea offers the best version of this dish. I have even written a blog post about it. You can check it out here! It is in Gávea, some 20 minutes from Copacabana by car. Next to the Botanical Garden, so if you go visit the garden, please don't miss out on having one of the best dishes in town!
