I fully appreciated the blanket and heaters that were brought over as it was a chilly evening, yet we were still "indoors" but not. Service was impeccable, with every member of the staff ensuring our experience was top notch and food met our expectations. I chose the slowly roasted beef ribs rice and was not expecting savory goodness that arrived! The beef ribs melted in my mouth and the rice was so incredibly flavorful - I would order this over and over again! Of all the restaurants I've been to, Figueira Rubaiyat has by far the one of the most extensive wine list I've seen, featuring many different wines from around the world, including Brazil of course! There is also a gift shop that should not be missed because of the very unique items that are found here - and a place I'll need to visit next time I'm in the area again! The entire experience is one that should not be missed. Every detail and every bite was absolute perfection!

I was literally still dreaming about it the next day; the food was really that good. Another standout dish was the braised short rib with sticky rice, a Brazilian specialty that was mouthwateringly delicious, with the beef and rice combo melting in your mouth. The toppings and sides were excellent as well. This was at an upscale restaurant, and the bill came out to half of what we would normally pay in the states. Food like this would cost at least two to three hundred dollars in California! For the price we are paying and the quality we are receiving, this is absolutely outrageous. I'd really like to see São Paulo's state government clean up its act and do more for the city, because there's no reason it shouldn't be a top tourist destination. I'm not much of a foodie, so it's nice having friends who are. You can just trust their recommendations and go along for the ride!!

I asked for their classic hamburger, chicken Caesar salad and a chocolate mousse. To start, it took about 45 minutes for the food to come. I have to say, the burger was good. A good size, the meat was tasty and the seasoning good. I was just surprised that the dish did not came with fries or anything. I would had liked the waitress to tell me that when I ordered. The Caesar salad was a disaster. The chicken was dry and the dressing virtually non existent. And I must say that whatever they used for the dressing, it was not Caesar. More like a tasteless yellowish sauce. No croutons, no bacon, no Parmesan. I would had returned it to the kitchen, but I was in my room and too tired and hungry to bother. Thankfully, the chocolate mousse saved the night. It was delicious, a dark Belgian chocolate symphony. I am happy I ordered it. I will, however, definitely not go there again.

We got a plate with 5 different cuts of meat and my husband and I shared it along with some beans and au gratin potatoes. Meat was tender and flavorful. The potatoes were a bit bland, but that's likely because I am used to the boxed version full of preservatives and artificial flavors. The service was great! They also had a very nice wine list. I don't remember the price, but I do remember thinking I couldn't get this type of meal, wine and service in the US for that.

I am american and don't speak Portuguese so I was a bit worried because I was on my own. but the menu had both Portuguese and English and as soon as I told the waiter I didn't speak the language he immediately called over the maitre d' who took over. the experience, from start to finish, was fantastic. well one kinda funny thing, I ordered a martini and he said they weren't sure how to make it but would try. he brought a martini glass full of sweet vermouth and a side shot of vodka. but I drank it without complaining. he was so insistent in asking if they made it correctly that I finally told him the proper mix but not to worry. but he brought another one, gratis. this was very nice, but don't people in Brazil drink martinis? anyway, on to the food with the bread they brought out a large plate of condiments, marinated garlic cloves, some grilled eggplant, salsa and a creamy blue cheese spread that was addicting. I had a salad and ribeye steak with potatoes and grilled vegetables. the steak was out of this world. perfectly cooked and HUGE. I couldn't finish it (probably because I had so much of the bread and blue cheese spread haha). I highly recommend the Flan for dessert. I took it on the waiter's suggestion and it was the best I've ever had. I guess it was a little expensive, I had salad, one of the most expensive steaks, al la carte veggies, dessert, the martini and 1/2 bottle of wine and it was more than $100 with service included. but you could certainly cut out the drinks and dessert, share the vegetables and have a reasonable dinner. this was my first Argentinian restaurant so I don't have a benchmark, but I will definitely come back to this place, especially if I'm staying close by. they have entertainment on Friday nights but I don't know how it is

I love several other Churrasacarias in São Paulo, but this one is a real standout. We had a group dinner with friends and coworkers, and we were led to a large table, and the staff fawned all over us. They were very accommodating and friendly. The food and wine were all top-notch, and they brought whatever cut of meat you asked for, instead of waiting for the "good stuff" like the Picanha. The salad bar was great as well, although I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have any Feijoada, which is usually a staple at any Churrascaria in Brazil. Again, there are several good Churrascarias here, but if you want the best, you won't get any better than Barbacoa!

Here's the thing: I don't eat steak, pork, or most of the meats they specialize in, and I'm not a big fan of buffet or all‑you‑can‑eat restaurants in general. We came here because a coworker invited us, and she was being really kind, so I didn't think to check the price beforehand. I ended up only eating the salad, and with dessert my total came to about $66. For someone who doesn't eat the main attraction, that price felt a bit high -- honestly, I felt a little ripped off, LOL. Not the restaurant's fault at all; this is exactly how churrascarias work. It just wasn't the best match for my eating habits. Next time, I'll politely turn down the invite or suggest a different spot that fits my preferences better. But if you do enjoy steakhouse-style dining and want the full Brazilian churrasco experience, Barbacoa delivers exactly what it promises.
