Meaty Madness

We have walked past the Carnivore restaurant on several occasions, but never gone in, deciding it was only worth it when you were REALLY hungry. Well that time finally came on Friday evening, so we loosened our belts and headed into the restaurant for a gluttonous meat feast. On arrival, we politely picked at the salad bar to show willing, but we were really here for was meat – and lots of it!

Having visited a churrascaria before, we were wise to the usual cunning methods of the Passadors (ie. waiters) of bringing round the cheap meats (sausages, chicken) first and waiting until you are already bulging out of your pants before bringing around the real meat – the lamb and beef etc. However, I am pleased to report that Carnivore did not stoop to such devious measures and we were presented with top cuts of meat from the outset.

I was fully anticipating the abundance of carnivorous treats and a piled-up-to-the-max plate from this restaurant but what I wasn’t expecting was such a high quality of food. Every slice of meat that was sliced from the skewer onto our plates was truly delicious – Lamb Leg, Lamb Fillet, Pork Sausages, Pork Shoulder, Honey Ham, Chicken Thighs, Chicken Breast wrapped in Bacon, Butterfish, Beef Tenderloin and Beef Rump. It had all been barbecued to perfection – especially the Beef Tenderloin which was black and sticky on the outside, red and tender on the inside.

Add to this the strong and tasty Caipirinhas, the Brazilian Samba music and the extremely friendly Passadors and you’ve got yourself a great night out.

But be warned – you will suffer the consequences… we walked home afterwards and lay on the sofa for half an hour, not talking, not moving, too full to even reach out for the remote control to turn the tv on…
