DALLAS, Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Texas de Brazil Churrascaria makes its debut in Connecticut tonight when it opens for dinner at the upscale Westfarms Mall in Hartford’s affluent suburb of Farmington. The family-owned Brazilian steakhouse offers guests authentic churrasco, rodizio-style service and the generous Southern hospitality that makes this a standout dining destination for large and small parties alike. The 6500 square-foot restaurant features a vibrantly-decorated dining room and seating for over 200, an open grill kitchen, expansive salad area, intimate lounge, and an award-winning wine cellar.
“We are proud to expand our Brazilian-American steakhouse into New England.

When ready for the main course, guests flip a two-sided disc located at each seat from red to green, and gauchos (servers) begin to carve tableside a selection of meats grilled to perfection over natural wood charcoal – a tradition passed down through generations of gauchos from Southern Brazil.

When a break is needed in the unending flow of mouthwatering meats, guests simply turn their disc back to red.
