Texas de Brazil

Port of Spain


The best choice of the many restaurants surrounding MovieTowne's Fiesta Plaza courtyard, this Brazilian-style churrascaria is nirvana for meat-lovers, with waitstaff circling the tables dispensing cuts of grilled chicken, beef, pork, sausage and lamb. You can also eat well from just the huge 'salad' bar, which runs from veggie delights to sushi, soup, black beans with pork and French cheeses.

The Sunday brunch spread (TT$265) is always popular, and a little less expensive, too.
