A little history....

In Brazil we call GRIMPA the branches of a special type of pine tree, tha "Araucária", very common in the southern region. The "Gauchos" that live in this region traditionally used these dry branches to start their campfires and prepare the "CHURRASCO" while they were out in the "Pampas" with their cattle. Naturally, meat was the main component of these meals.

These Araucárias also have an interesting mythical story. A famous tale from southern Brazil tells the story of a big blue bird whose favorite food was the Araucária nut, every fall this bird would bury the extra pine nuts to eat later that winter. But many of these nuts were forgotten buried and grew up to become these incredible and tall trees.

The Gauchos of southern brazil are also the inspiration for GRIMPAS's style of service, the "Rodizio". Moving about between the tables with their large sword-like skewers they will offer you a taste of this delicious memory of the Pampas.

Guide Review - Porcão Steakhouse

Located on Brickell Bay Drive inside the Four Ambassadors Hotel, the views of the pool and Intercoastal waterway are spectacular. Their house red wine, Caliterra, is a succulent Chilean specialty.

Dinner at Porcão Steakhouse is a fixed rate buffet and rodizio service. The price is $41.90 per person. Buffet stations include such items as Caesar salad, sushi, pasta, and various vegetables and cheeses. Once you have finished the buffet portion, you sit back and let the roaming waiters present you with various types of meat carved for you at your table (rodizio service). You do not have one set waiter but a variety of waiters that work in perfect synergy to make sure you have everything that you need, despite the language barrier with many of them. Though all the meat was exceptional, I would especially recommend the Filet Mignon wrapped in bacon and the Beef Ribs.

You should not leave Porcão without tasting one of their delicious desserts. The specialty is the Crème De Papaya. This is a very soft dessert that is so delicious you can't help but finish it!

Brazilian Fútbol (soccer) games are often celebrated in the bar area.

If you cannot make it to Porcão for dinner, you can try lunch on weekdays before 5pm. This includes a buffet with salads and sides and choice beef, chicken, or fish served tableside.

Porcão Steakhouse is located inside the Four Ambassadors Hotel at 801 Brickell Bay Drive in Miami. Reservations may be made by calling (305) 373-2777.
