Brazilian steakhouse Chama Gaucha will open in the heart of Buckhead this spring.
Reintroducing a bygone era of Brazilian cowboys, who ended their days preparing dinner around a fire pit, Chama Gaucha embraces and elevates the cowboys’ fireside culture and rustic culinary traditions. With locations in Houston, San Antonio and Chicago, the Buckhead restaurant will be the fourth to open and the first in the Southeast.
“We are delighted to expand into Atlanta’s vibrant culinary market” said general manager Nelcir Muller. “The Chama Gaucha team looks forward to introducing its neighbors to our unique offerings and a truly Brazilian way of dining.”
In the custom of Brazilian steakhouses, slow-roasted meats such as costela, a richly marbled beef rib, frango e linguica, marinated chicken drumsticks and pork sausage and the restaurant’s specialty, picanha, the prime cut of the sirloin are the feature menu items. The centerpiece of the restaurant, an internally-lit antipasto bar showcases a vast selection of charcuterie, cheese and signature salads such as chicken salad and southern Brazilian-style potato salad. Each guest is invited to visit the bar to choose side dishes to accompany the tableside-served meat.
Drawing inspiration from the menu’s Brazilian flavor and style, local design, construction and consulting agency Restaurant Consulting Group (RCG) transformed the restaurant into an upscale, yet comfortable space with an organic palate of tans and browns, fabric panels and gold textured ceilings.
