Picanha Churrascaria Brazilian Grill & Bar
73399 El Paseo, Palm Desert, CA 92260
 Located
on El Paseo in Palm Desert, Picanha Restaurant serves up delicious
traditional Brazilian style Churrascaria. Churrasco, the Brazilian word for barbecue, describes a 300-year old culinary tradition that originated in the pampas, or prairie ranchlands, of Brazil. In the churrasco tradition, gauchos, Brazilian cowboys, barbeque marinated beef, pork, and poultry on long skewers over an open-fire pit. In the churrascaria culinary style, diners use a little wooden indicator with green on one end and red on the other to start and stop continuous service. At Picanha you'll see a graceful dance of waiters bringing swords laden with meat directly to your table for as long as you keep the indicator on the green, or go, cycle. The skewered meat is carved right onto your plate, piping hot from the open fire grill. Harkening back to the days of old, the gauchos circle the dining hall with the choicest cuts, inviting you to eat until you are full. This continuous style of service, called ridihzo, transforms your meal into a spectacular performance. Our namesake cut, Picanha, is an irresistible portion from the choicest part of the top sirloin, either marinated in garlic or zesty peppers. Among our many fine cuts of meat are the Filet Mignon, Top Sirloin (Espeta), Sirloin Tip (Maminha), Pork Loin, Pork Ribs, Sausage, Lamb (Cordero), Herb Parmesan Chicken Breast, BBQ Chicken Drumsticks and Brazilian & Polish Baked Sausage. |
