Ahh, the Pampas; these fertile grasslands in South America might be famous for being home to Argentinian gauchos (cowboys), but they also expand over Brasil's most southerly state, Rio Grande do Sul. Equally as entrenched in the tradition and culture of rearing cattle on the Pampas Plain, Brasil has become famous for its steakhouses right here in the UK - with Liverpool home to its fair share.
Read on to uncover a list of the best Brazilian restaurants in Liverpool, featuring plenty of churrasco (skewered meat cooked over a churrasqueira barbecue grill) and rodízio (a constant, rotating service of all you can eat meat). Tuck in.
Liverpool's Best Brazilian Restaurants
Fazenda Liverpool
Found in Exchange Flags in the heart of the Business District, Fazenda Liverpool is one of the brand's celebrated restaurants; venues that also span Manchester, Edinburgh, London and more. Costing £33.90 at lunchtimes and £49.90 in the evening, the signature churrasco experience involves you feasting on unlimited cuts of picanha, sirloin, fillet and ribeye steak, alongside lamb, chicken and pork - all carved at your table.
This is complemented by unlimited fries, feijoada (a black bean stew and Brazil's national dish), rice and a variety of seasonal sides, as well as traditional dishes from the Market Table. You can even ask your waiter to help you choose a bottle of fine wine from their temperature-controlled cellars.

Fogo Brazil
When it comes to the best Brazilian restaurants in Liverpool city centre, Fogo Brazil on Bold Street has to be up there. Food is served in the traditional rodízio-style, cooked over an open flame on a rotating spit, and brought to your table so servers can carve off as much as you'd like.
This haven of South American culture is yet another Brazilian steakhouse experience, complete with an all you can eat system where you turn your card green side up for more meat and down to red if you want a breather. The lunchtime selection (£24.95) spans everything from churrasco picanha to succulent ribs, chicken hearts and parmesan pork medallions, while an evening booking (£34.95) features the likes of ribeye and leg of lamb in addition to everything available at lunch. Topping it off? A bottomless bar of salads and sides.

Viva Brazil
An authentic Brazilian BBQ that's made its home on Castle Street in the city centre since 2010, Viva Brazil will soon have 15 years of experience serving authentic charcoal barbeque-cooked dishes to the Liverpudlian masses. Their rodízio especial menu offers an affordable way to dine, featuring single servings of four different meats at lunchtime (Monday to Friday only, £16.95 per person) or seven single servings of different meats for dinner (Monday to Thursday only, £28.95 per person).
Otherwise, opt for the full bottomless rodízio experience, promising endless supplies of Brazilian sausage, chilli chicken, rump cap steak, garlic steak and more, starting from £24.95 for lunch and priced at £38.95 for dinner. With either menu, you get the unlimited salad island, featuring steaming stews, fresh vegetables, and other accompaniments.
Meat fiends, you're in luck.
Bem Brasil
Hanover Street and Liverpool One's Bem Brasil, an award-winning churrascaria with a first-floor restaurant and ground-floor bar, recently underwent a £1m refurbishment - meaning it's probably as close as you're going to get to a top pick of new Brazilian restaurants in Liverpool. This fresh and lively setting is also the perfect place for barbecued meats seared on a traditional Brazilian grill, paired with the Brazilian national cocktail; a zesty, Cachaça-based caipirinha.
Flip your disc red or green to signal to the passadores (tableside carving experts) whether you want to pause your unlimited meat or are ready for more. Tuck into fresh slices of skewered beef, lamb, pork, chicken and sausages, alongside bottomless authentic side dishes. Lunch starts at £25.50 per person and dinner costs £42.50.
Bem Brasil has our seal of approval.
Copacabana
Near Liverpool Lime Street? Copacabana awaits tucked away in Queen Square. It's yet another choice for continuous table service, bringing you the finest cuts of succulent meat cooked in the traditional way: roasted over open fire.
Lunch rodízio (£24.95) sees you indulge in gammon, minted lamb leg, beef ribs and more, while full rodízio - served at lunchtimes and in the evenings - includes the picanha steak, chicken wings, slow-roasted pork and more as extras. Whatever you decide, expect an unlimited sides and salad bar too.
Wine and Brazilian steak - the perfect pairing.
