Anywhere that sells all you can eat meat, cooked to your liking, with an impressive buffet of side dishes is a winner for me. I’m a regular at Bem Brazil for that very reason and with trying to be healthier in January, it is also great for a clean eating lifestyle.
I’ve visited a few of the restaurants but the Deansgate branch is my favourite. They have those tasty Portuguese cheese rolls as part of the buffet, chunks of chili spiked cheese and a pretty awesome beef stew. And that’s just the buffet section, it doesn’t include the tasty steak and refreshing pineapple dusted with cinnamon to cleanse the palate after a hearty meat fuelled meal.
My tipple of choice at Bem Brazil is sangria. It reminds me of hot days on a beach in the Canaries and the first time I visited a Brazilian buffet like this, long before Bem Brazil even existed (you can read about it here). It isn’t the most glamorous of drinks but it fits my mood when there, and we all have a quirk. This is mine.
A bit of feedback that I hear a lot, mainly from men who visit the restaurant, is that the lager is a bit heavy for the meal. I’m not a lager fan but can imagine when eating such a heavy meal, a heavy lager just doesn’t work.
Bem Brazil now stock a new lager, from Brazil of course. Palma Louca is so light even I quite like it and, like I said earlier, I don’t like beer or lager! It’s slightly fruity and refreshing so perfect to pair with that heavy meat laden buffet, I’m especially a fan of the tiki style vintage branding.
It’s not available to buy in the supermarket like most lager so a visit to Bem Brazil is definitely in order if you are a lager fan, give it a go. I’ll certainly be pairing it with my next Brazilian meat fest.
We were invited to dine as guests at Bem Brazil and weren’t asked to pay for our food or drink.
