A Brazilian BBQ restaurant that turns into a Salsa club is a first that I have heard. The restaurant had a very old school feel to it, even the decor and seating was old school - twas quite interesting. The first thing I notice as soon as I stepped in was this mountain of alcohol all stacked up, maximising the table space and waiting for someone to come and drink it all..

| Hello there |
 |
| Brazilian BBQ buffet at Vivaz, The Rocks - $39 per person |
 |
| Brazilian BBQ meet including pork, chorizo and chicken wings |
My taste buds were still alive by the end of the night because the meat wasn't drowned in salt unlike some other Brazilian BBQ places I have been too. The pork crackling was soo crunch crunch crunchyyy - I wanted moreee but my body said no which was a shame. The chorizo were good too but personally, they still weren't as good as La Parrillada, they still stand as my fav thus far.
I don't think I have ever been to a brazilian bbq buffet and seen them offer as many salad/vegetables as Vivaz so I think I can be confident to say that I got my daily servings of greens that night.

| Salads, potatoes and pumpkin |

| More salads and pasta |

| Roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, pasta salad and bean salad |
When people say to me the two carnivorous words 'Brazilian BBQ', I would be expecting a large selection of different cuts, flavours and types of meat. There was a lot of variety of vegetables however as tasty as the meats
were and taking into account that one is paying $39, there could have
been a bigger selection of meats to choose from. A part of me had also died when I realised they didn't have cinnamon pineapples because it is my favourite item of all at Brazilian bbqs!
The restaurant is set up as a proper buffer so there weren't people walking around carrying larger skewers, though I guess that may be because the place does turn into a salsa club after. Personally I wouldn't recommend this place to people if they were mainly there for the food as it is more suited towards salsa lovers out there. For salsa fans however it is a different story. After 10 pm, there is also an entry fee of $10 but if you are already there for dinner, the price of the food already covers that fee.

I walked in without paying LOL *win*
ReplyDeletebesides the mountain high of alcohol (trust), i wouldn't step foot into Vivaz again. #justsaying
lol of course the alcohol
DeleteThat is $39 for a lot of food! And what you mean your body say no to pork crackling?!?
ReplyDeleteHi Penny - body didn't feel too well that night =(
Deletethat's a pretty decent brazilian buffet, i see salads! haha
ReplyDeleteHi Vivian - I can't emphasise how much salad there was!
DeleteI'm not sure if I'd pay $39 if there's not enough variety of meats and some of the sides are pretty heavy.
ReplyDeleteHi Gaby - I do agree, there was some pastas and potatoes that were quite heavy.
DeleteDear Shanshan,
ReplyDeleteBeing a meat lover, those skewered meat would be up my way although I can't go past Wildfire at the Rocks each time I think of a churrasco all you can eat.
Hi Chopinandmysaucepan - I went to Wildfire before and have the best experience which was a shame.
DeleteMmmm yummy. I wouldn't need a huge selection of meat. Give me the pork and crackling and I'd be dandy lol. I love that there's a good variety of vegetables though. Makes me really want to go there and give it a try!
ReplyDeleteHi Apple - ohh let me know what you think when you do :)
DeleteLook at all that foooooooooooooooood. Wow.
ReplyDeleteHi Tina - buffets ftw!
