This restaurant has several branches in Campinas and the one I've gone several times is the one…read morelocated in Barão Geraldo, at R. Maria Tereza Dias da Silva, 12. The ambience is nice, well lit, clean and fresh. The buffet price is the average (about R$ 25 by July 06, 2012) and the beverages about R$ 3 R$ 4, with all-you-can-eat hot and cold dishes: Yakisoba, salmon, sushis, sashimis and also the dessert (condensed milk pudding or passion-fruit mousse). Nevertheless, the place is not so huge so if don't get to arrive before noon, chances are you'll have to wait on the line a few minutes to get in. And when it's crowded the food is not prepared as fast as it's consumed, so you might end up by not getting what you want 'cos someone else may have taken the last piece Anyway, IMHO it's worth checking it out!

I was recently in Campinas for a wedding and as the post-wedding photography session was winding…read moredown, we decided to finish the day with a high protein meal at a churrascaria. I wasn't sure that I could count on Yelp to guide me, as Yelp is not commonly used in Brazil. Nevertheless, I initiated a search for "churrascaria". Churrascaria Trevisan had a strong 4-star rating, but only had 5 reviews. Could they be biased reviews done by the restaurant owner's friends and family members?? There was simply no way to know for sure. I called the restaurant to confirm the price. It was BRL47, which is about $15. I had called another local churrascaria as well, and that one was BRL108, which is considered pricey in Brazil. We decided to try our luck at Churrascaria Trevisan. We arrived at the restaurant and were greeted by the manager who saw we had 14 people and offered us a slight discount. We were seated immediately at one long table made up of 4 smaller tables. I requested a Guaraná Zero immediately and it arrived with ice and an orange slice, which I believe is the pinnacle of carbonated beverages in this world. The meat servers started coming to our table immediately. It was almost overwhelming. I avoided all chicken and pork, as I consider them to be poor man's meats and wanted to cost the restaurant as much as possible. So I accepted nearly every beef option that passed by. If I had to make one negative comment, it would be that they came too often, making me feel pressure to take some each time and eat it before more arrived. But having servers come by too often as opposed to not often enough is a good thing, so this will not negatively affect my rating of this restaurant. The meats were salty and delicious and we were all extremely satisfied. I had previously felt a burden because I had chosen the restaurant for 13 others and would have felt shame and embarrassment had the restaurant been subpar. But the restaurant came through in a big way. I ate better than I've eaten at very expensive churrascarias in the USA and yet this one was a very reasonable, even low price, based on the current value of the USD.
