If you know me, you know I enjoy a Churrascaria. I've been to a national chain, local ones, and semi expanded ones with a few locations. When visiting NYC with one of my besties, we decided to try this location out after miles and miles walked. They had an exceptional salad bar and the meats were very delicious. Loved the bubbly I ordered, and their Brazilian cheese bread was delicious. Our wait staff never left us with empty glasses and we enjoyed the beauty of the restaurant. I'd definitely return if in the area! read more

The best place of its kind outside of Brazil. Fogo is fine. This is several levels better. Great meat. Polenta fries amazing. And now even à la carte options. Our waiter was excellent and the Team all very good. read more

This was my first time trying a Brazilian steakhouse rodizio style. The salad bar was packed with options. If you're wondering about seafood, the only seafood option was the fish stew from the salad bar. My favorites from the salad bar were the potato salad and the Brussels sprouts. The complimentary cheese bread (very mochi like) was also very good. As a beginner, I definitely made the mistake of filling myself up too much at the salad bar and should have saved more room for the meat. My favorite cuts were the beef sirloin and the chicken. Some of the other cuts were just okay and a bit tough to chew but still flavorful. Next time, I will definitely prepare better by not filling up so much at the salad bar! Highly recommend, beef sirloin, chicken, and tiramisu! read more

Walking distance from Cruise Port of NYC, times square and intrepid museum. You can do walk-in. Has a salad bar with some meats on it and rice. You flip a circle card when you are ready/stop getting meats. Buffet of meats does not include drinks/desserts. And drinks are not bottomless even if it is a soda. Meats are good. Servers are courteous and pleasant. Restrooms are clean and smells good. High chair and koala kare seen. Even tho their south american manager is treats us like we don't have money, compared to other caucasians which was served with hospitality, we dont mind since the other staffs makeup for the hospitality. See images for reference. read more

Absolutely loved! We had so much fun on our first time here (: the staff was so friendly and helpful, the restaurant is huge so they gave so much seating for big groups or small parties. As for the food it was great! So many different cuts of meat and the banana side was my favorite. We definitely will be back! read more

On Friday, 1/30, I had my 2nd Restaurant Week experience with my daughter!! We went to Churrascaria Platforms Steakhouse on 49th St. The service is amazing and the decor is great!! I really enjoyed the gourmet salad bar which had items like risotto, sushi rolls, shrimp cocktail, etc... There are 2 staff members standing nearby to assist if necessary. The meats served were a little bit dry because, at the time, we didn't know we could ask for a "medium rare" slice. I need to go back to chow down on the Restaurant Week Menu, again!! read more

This place was a great stop. My partner is Brazilian so we wanted to make sure he got to try some while we were in the area. We were drawn in by the meat lovers special ($60ish per person) which limited the meats you could get but still enabled access to the salad bar. Meats were great but highlights were picanhia and the skirt steak. Also loved the garlic bread though I wish the garlic bread guy came around more!! Service was quick and I liked the drink cart. Ambiance was fine but decor was a little out dated. At the end of the meal, it took a fair amount of work for us to track down the waiter for our check. Worth a stop but definitely not the best Brazilian steakhouse I've been to. read more

Churrascaria Plataforma - Lovely service! - Brazilian Near Me - New York, New York

My family and I love having dinner at Churrascaria Plataforma. Some people might think this isn't the right kind of restaurant for children, but my 10-year-old loves to be able to decide when he gets an additional serving of something, when he's ready to stop, and it's a great opportunity to sample different kinds of things! The food is always great, I love the buffet, and the servers are always very nice. My husband and I have also gone here for dates, including on Valentine's Day. It can be very romantic. read more

When I asekd my husband what he wanted for his birthday dinner, he said meat. We had done Texas de Brazil once in Michigan and he loved it, so I thought, hey why not try another rodízio! Yelp and Google both told me that Churrascaria Plataforma was the best in the city, so I made a reservation for his birthday, which was a random Tuesday night. The meat was honestly, just fine. A few of the cuts were quite nice, but most of it just felt like mediocre cuts. The salad bar was also just fine. I honestly think Texas de Brazil, a chain, was better. For dessert, we had a flan and a tiramisu. The flan was so stiff and hard, I honestly had never had a flan like this before. They were very nice and did come by with a pistachio cake for the birthday boy, which was unexpected and very kind. read more

Bem-vindo ao Brasil. Linguini B is known by many, and many know me as many things. Stud. King Pin. Lover Boy. Elbow Greaser. Wolf Man. Deviant. Fat Freak. Four Eyes... why. Why do you do this to yourself, bury it and never let it back up you chubby biscuit. But anyways... let me make one thing clear. A name I have been sporting honorably and deservedly for many a year is... The Churrasco King. I've ventured to many Rodizios. I've gotten down doing the rodeo with many poles of steak and other heavily salted meats. But my soul, since first encounter, has been enthralled so much by this Plataforma that I find myself returning, as a regular. Luckily, for the Cows of New York City, I don't live near enough to destroy the profits of the vital and vast Manhattan underground farm system. For if you don't know of what I speak you ought reckon yourself a fool of the highest order. That is a decree dished down by your royal family, The King of Churrasco. All I can say is on the corner of 49th and BLANK, if you stay stationary long enough, you will hear a unison moooooo echo from the chambers of the tunnels of New Amsterdam. The vibration of the chorus will feed into the soles of your feet, a rush of hunger will jitter your knees and collapse your hips. Your hands will turn to hooves (in hallucination). On all fours you will crawl yourself to the nearest steakhouse and you will eat your own kind. Served up the rarest of rare. You filthy fat cow. This did not happen to me this day, but if it has before... I'd never tell. August of 25', my most recent Rockefeller rodizio rescue mission. I enjoyed a blessed meal with a group of mates. The goal is often simple, how much steak can I pummel and for how long can I keep my green card green. My compatriots and I Zohanned across 49th, the air felt the thrust of our pelvises as we prepared for conquest. To calm our nerves, we took a sip or two of some Mango Caipirinhas. Muy Bonitaaaa. Little Fresh Mang, this thang came with a big bang. Big boom. Five of them. Shoutout Big Just. But a once in a lifetime tip of the hat to the Rizzla, the owner of the only knuckles I'd ever bow to. Anyways... we sipped our soucceee and soared to the able. The intense buildup was now unbearable. You can train your whole life for this moment, but will you perform when the lights shine bright? Some puddle under the pressure, and others raise their game to levels they knew not accessible within their loins. I, of course, am the ladder. Cabooses hit the chair. Drinks ordered. Couple nods to a waiter and the floor manager. I didn't hear a word. In fact, I went deaf and my pupils widened so far that my eyelids haven't recovered. How is that possible? Don't ask me I'm not a doctor, at least not a licensed doctor. We were in the wild. My eyes darted from spot to spot. My feet, although planted flat, were ready to pounce. My fists engulfed the utensils provided, the knife became part of my hand. Stop the teasing, mid sentence I hopped over a few tables, then In osmotic fashion I oozed my drooling tongue and guzzling cheeks to the salad bar. Some call the salad bar a waste of time, a distraction, a tummy filler. I can it a must, especially here. The soosh, octopus, fried rice, some Brazilian staples. They line your intestines, creating a partition between yourself and life with ulcers. Not a Doctor... or so they say. My table side competition followed suit, jousting each other on the line for the best available appetizers. We sat down together, the energy of the table highhhhh. Some Yukon fries, plantains, mashed potatoes, fries hit the table before we could notice that they were on the way. I left out the star of the show for a reason. It deserves its standout praise. Pao de queijo. For you non-literates anti-portugese crowd... that means gifts from god in the form of cheese puffs. And the best I've ever had are from here. It's been that way for 28 years and I can guarantee it. I could just come here for these bad boys. I'd rip through a parking lot full of them. And then I'd ask for more. While the irons hot let me call to your attention this grilled cheese action. No, not grilled cheese like you filthy Americans mean. I'm talking actual cheese, just grilled, and covered in honey maybe some butter, maybe neither of those but it tastes like it. The small golden brown cubes of some portugese cheese light up the inside of your cheeks to the point that your cheek bones rise and you become visibly more attractive. Or so said someone once on a time. Again, these two darlings could be my entire meal and I'd leave with supreme satisfaction. read more

Came to this establishment for restaurant week 2025 winter. First time at a Brazilian steak buffet house, and i loved the concept. Buffet bar is for vegetables and salads, sauces and maybe some other protein(fish and chicken), and the table when you flip that circle card they arrive with your choice of temperature meat. Its not just beef, there's pork and a chicken option. I tried the pork sausage which was too salty for me, but loved the chicken as well as the pork they had a parm garlic. I liked the beef choices they had and it pairs well with your vegetable and salad you got from the buffet. Oh and there's a lamb option. I like the chimichurri to dip w all my meats :) And at the end I was able to get the flan which was so yummy I love flan. The servers were mostly all friendly and quick to fill water and take dirty plates. Bathroom is downstairs and clean, big mirrors. read more

Needed a place for a one hour meal prior to a show. Not the best of choice time wise. We sat at the bar of this extremely busy and nicely decorated spot. Ordered filet mignon sliders ( which were phenomenal ) and a salad along with two drinks. The bartender seemed a bit clueless when we ordered one of the drinks. But she did make a perfect Negroni. I thought 40 minutes was a bit long to wait for food, but it is/was prime holiday tourist season so we were patient. I really want to come back when I have the time to sit and enjoy fully. I know it'll be well worth it read more

Not coming back ever read more

My husband and I attended a company party here. The food and service were superb! The waitstaff were helpful and friendly. The salad bar had a good variety of food. The meat (mine was mostly pork and steaks) was fresh, tender, flavorful. I was able to converse pretty easily with my neighbors so if there was music, it was played low enough. The restaurant was clean, spacious, with nice decor. It overall felt inviting. They had a large selection of desserts. I'm still obsessing over my delicious chocolate mousse cake slice; it was perfection! Overall this restaurant offers something for everyone. My table mate is vegetarian and even he was able to leave the restaurant satisfactorily stuffed. The drinks from the bar were pretty good. My only small regret was that I didn't get to taste their caipirinha drink. I heard many complimentary reviews. I highly recommend this restaurant and would love to return here for another meal. read more

If you like meat, this is the place to eat to your heart's content. Unlike a steak house, you get to sample multiple different cuts of beef, and you can also break up the pattern with lamb, chicken, and sausages. You will leave very satisfied. Service is good too, and pricing is completely reasonable. I shouldn't forget to mention that in the salad bar, the moqueca with tilapia is wonderful too! read more

My friend and I came here for Restaurant Week dinner. This included selection of unlimited meats, sides, buffet offerings, as well as salad bar, for $60. The interior was elegant and spacious with plenty of seating, along with impressive island buffet in the center. Upon being seated, we were served warm cheese bread, which was tasty with a satisfying stickiness. For our sides, we chose Yuca Fries, Fried Bananas, Polenta. I enjoyed the Yuca Fries, which were crispy and full of flavor. Surprisingly, I also liked the Fried Bananas (as not a fan of the fruit), which were light with a nice crunch. There was an extensive salad bar, along with quite a few options at the buffet, including cheese and cured meats, soup, shrimp, chicken, veggies, and more. Out of the various meats, my absolute favorites were Top Sirloin, Leg of Lamb, and Beef ancho with Garlic. These were wonderfully tender, succulent, and well seasoned. Service was solid. Restaurant staff came around often with different meats. We were well taken care of and am glad I got to experience this Brazilian steakhouse. read more

This is definitely one of my favorites and what a Brazilian steakhouse should be! We called ahead at the last minute and were pleasantly greeted on the phone and told to come on over. We asked about dress code and they told us not to worry. We make a point to come here every time we are in New York City. Upon arrival we were quickly seated and the staff went to work making sure that we were happy and comfortable. The national drink of Brazil is a Caipirinha and it was made to perfection! A beautiful salad bar, I noticed it had been paired back a little bit, but all my favorites were still there, including artichokes, hearts of palm, mozzarella balls and tomato, cheeses, Brazilian beans and rice to name a few. A wonderful meat selection, with everyone of them prepared perfectly! Filet mignon, House, garlic, beef, chicken, sausages, chicken hearts, beef sirloin, lamb, and I can't even remember the rest! The restaurant is very nice, intimate feel, with linen tablecloths and is a fine dining experience. Live music available after 6 PM daily. Happy hour at the bar in the afternoon, where you can get cocktails at discount rates, but no food. While this restaurant can be a little pricey, It is a one price per person meal for as much as you want and we didn't ask, but were offered the senior discount rate! LOL - so don't be shy about asking for this discount if you warrant it! You must come here if you have the opportunity! What more can I say? read more

Absolutely incredible experience at Churrascaria Plataforma Brazilian steakhouse inside the Belvedere Hotel, NY. It's very clean and has a beautiful ambiance. The food and drinks were awesome. The service was top tier, shout out to our server Hugo and Ana the bartender for making this experience one to remember. Your attentiveness and friendly personalities were appreciated. Next time we visit, we'll be sure to pop in! Also, if you are staying at Belvedere hotel, you get a discount on your food/drinks and they have an ALL day happy hour. read more

During a recent work trip, we decided to stop in for dinner as a couple of the group hadn't been to a steakhouse like this before. The place was large and we had a decent sized table for our group. The servers were nice, and as soon as you had your little button on green, they would swarm you, ha. Some of the meat was really good, but most of it was kind of bland. I've been to other places before were it has really good flavor to it but here it felt like you needed sauce. read more

My first time at this place and Rodízio. I went on a Friday night with my partner and his old friends who've been many times and love this place. Ordered a round of the Caipirinha, they were great, they do it table side, the issue is that it takes forever to get the actual drinks because the cart seems to be so cumbersome and/or they can only do one table at a time. Maybe they should ditch the cart and just make it at the bar. Started at the buffet but was advised by friends not to fill up too much. It was hard to refrain, there was tones of salads, pasta salads, tabouli, olive, and sushi. The top shelf has about 50 different dressings to choose from and the dipping sauces for the meats are here too. Now came time to turn over my circle card from red to green to indicate I was ready for lots of meat. It started coming fast and furious. What fun, I tried pretty much everything, my 2 favorites were the parmesan filet mignon and the top sirloin, but I also liked the lamb, brisket and skirt steak as runners up. The mashed potatoes and fried bananas sides were delicious too. Lastly they brought around the dessert trolley. There was about 10 different desserts to choose from. We went with the espresso chocolate pyramid. Great dinner, my only complaint was it's little pricey and I wish the band would have been playing. But overall great experience! read more

Went for lunch while on vacation in NYC; 2pm on a Friday, only 2/3 other tables occupied. Spacious place; there was a music area they probably have a live band at certain times. We were quickly seated; our waiter explained how the rodizio worked, took our drink order (though we didn't get a menu). We ordered couple passion fruit caipirinhas. Headed to buffet, lots of salad options plus a few hot options too. There was a pasta dish, a baked zucchini dish, fish plus rice and black beans (with farofa of course). Lots of salads, including potato salad. Everything was delicious. The meats coming around, all delicious. We got so full and they still kept coming around. Overall great lunch. read more

I come here for the holidays with my extended family every year. The staff are the best, super friendly and attentive to our high maintenance group lol. I love the different steaks, sausage, chicken, lamb, & other meat. The salad bar is good & seems to be a little different every time, but my focus here is really on the meat. Today I tried & enjoyed the espresso martini, which they made with Bailey's. The desserts are yummy, I always get the tiramisu. Others in my party got the cheesecake, flourless chocolate cake, chocolate mousse cake, and vanilla ice cream. We all left full and happy, thanks! read more

This place was so amazing! I came here for restaurant week, and was blown away. The service was a 10/10! It's a beautiful restaurant, with a piano in the dining room. The servers were all so attentive to the needs of my party, including the children. They kept everything full. The meats were so good! We had a little bit of everything, and it was soo worth each and every bite. They have a full salad bar full of both hot and cold food, and the prie fix menu came with a couple of sides for the table. The meat were delicious and plentiful, i didn't have a chance to take pics of what i ate lol. I managed to grab a photo of the desserts that were included. That lemon tart/pie was amazing.

Disappointing, overpriced, and poorly managed. I will not be returning ! I chose this restaurant only because Fogo de Chão had no availability, and unfortunately, that decision turned into a regret. My cousin was visiting the US for the first time, and I wanted to offer a memorable dining experience. What we received instead was shockingly poor service. From the moment we sat down, it was obvious the server had no interest in serving us. His attitude was cold, dismissive, and unnecessarily rude. He appeared once to ask which side we wanted, delivered with irritation, and then vanished. When we tried to interact or ask questions, he acted as if our presence was an inconvenience. The behavior felt less like hospitality and more like we were asking for a favor ! as if he were paying for our meal rather than being paid to serve it. A reminder may be needed: servers are not doing charity work, and customers paying premium prices deserve basic respect. The entire mood of the evening was ruined. For a restaurant that charges what it does, this level of service is unacceptable and embarrassing. High prices do not excuse low standards. For comparison, Fogo de Chão consistently delivers professionalism, warmth, and respect ! everything this restaurant failed to provide. If management is comfortable allowing staff to treat guests differently based on who they are, that speaks volumes. Disappointing, overpriced, and poorly managed. I will not be returning. read more

My husband is a big meat lover and has been wanting to try Churrascaria for a while. We finally visited today and it was everything he hoped for. At first I wasn't very hungry and I'm pregnant so I can't get much food down anyway... but once I took my first cut of lamb picanha, I was all in! Everything was so delicious, fresh and tender. I managed to get down quite a bit of food haha and took home my dessert to enjoy later. On top of the food being amazing, the team was terrific! Everyone was super warm and really made us feel welcomed. My son had a ball, seeing all the meats come out and the warm smiles of each person that stopped by our table. Moreover, the floor layout gave us enough space to eat and also feed/entertain our son for a whole hour and he is 1 so that's a victory in itself:) Overall we had a fantastic experience, we forward to coming back! read more

Pretty mediocre Brazilian steakhouse. I have been to quite a few all over the country and this was the worst. I enjoy the taste of meat, but the only options were beef, with expectation of 1 chicken thigh and a pork. There was so variety of flavor on the beef either. The only other options was parmesan crusted pork, and it was the driest meat I have ever had. The waiter was nice. The salad bar did not have labels for any of the food, and is pretty simple. The bill came out to be $165 for 2 adults. Was not worth it. I expect that for a $82 meal, the food to be good, and it was not. I am not sure if the food quality is worse on a Sunday night.. If so they need to cheapen the cost. Would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I came on a weeknight with a reservation and we still waited for a bit before getting our table, this place is packed! We made it in during restaurant week which included the salad bar, meats, and a dessert. There is a large, clean, well stocked salad bar in the center and a slip on the table to order some appetizers and sides. *you should definitely hit the salad bar before the meats come but skip the sushi at the buffet* We had a great time and tried all of the meats that were available. They do start to taste the same after a while but I really enjoyed the garlic steak and the sausage. The service was attentive enough and the meats were readily coming around. I'd come back for sure! read more

Good service, GREAT food, great vibes. Would recommend and come again. The buffet was delicious, so were the portions. Delicious steak.

I had reservations here for dinner with a bunch of friends. Upon entering, we were greeted promptly and seated. The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice. The salad bar was okay. The deflection of meat for the main course was pretty good I liked the majority of the offerings. The wait staff was excellent, they were very attentive. The price was a touch pricey for what it was. I would still recommend the restaurant overall. read more

Ordered: Rodízio Unlimited Dinner (~$80/person): gourmet salad bar, meat, chicken, fish, pork, and lamb Aya's take: We were in the area and as we were walking by Churrascaria Plataforma, we spontaneously decided to give it a try. Even though it was a Saturday night, we were able to get seated right away. It was super loud inside which I wasn't expecting; not the kind of place you can have a calm/relaxing dinner if that's what you're looking for. We started off with the salad bar which I personally wasn't impressed with. They had a decent selection but many items didn't look fresh or appetizing. I decided to save my appetite for the meats. We were also served pão de queijo (Portuguese cheese bread) along with white rice, black beans, and plantains. I have to admit the meats were delicious. The Picanha and brisket were my favorite; they were well-seasoned, unbelievably tender, and had a buttery texture. Now even without drinks, it's probably close to ~$100/person with tax/tip which doesn't seem worth it to me. In my opinion, you get a bigger bang for your buck at similar Brazilian churrascarias. Good try but I'm not eager to return. read more
