Churrascaria 41, Steakhouse in Itapecerica da Serra, Brazil.
Churrascaria 41 is a steakhouse in Itapecerica da Serra, in the state of São Paulo, where servers carry skewered grilled meats directly to each table in the rodízio style. Cuts keep coming one after another until the diner signals they are done.
Churrascaria 41 opened as a local steakhouse in Itapecerica da Serra, following the tradition of southern Brazilian churrasqueiras that spread across the country through the 20th century. The town sits in the greater São Paulo area and gradually became a meeting point for families from the region.
The restaurant keeps alive Brazil's churrasco tradition, where meat is slowly cooked over open flames. This way of preparing food is part of how people here eat and celebrate together.
Booking ahead is a good idea for groups or weekend visits, as the place tends to fill up on those occasions. The rodízio format works well for tables with several people since new cuts keep arriving throughout the meal.
During a rodízio service, servers may bring over a dozen different cuts to the table over the course of a single meal, from picanha to fraldinha. Each table uses a small card or token to signal whether more meat is wanted or whether a pause is needed.
