Improving Perfection at the Amazônia Churrascaria Salad Bar

Palm beach – Executive Chef Victor Olivares, his young and talented sous Chef Steven Koolman and fresh out of school salad master Leandro just improved on perfection.

Aruba's first authentic Brazilian Rodizio Steakhouse, that even vegetarians love, just improved its already amazing salad bar.

The restaurant is celebrating almost seven years on the island. The new concept caught literal fire as a troop of waiters armed with mega skewers started roaming the colorful and friendly new indoor, outdoor dining room introducing the fresh and novel concept of continuous dining to enthusiastic locals and visitors. It was an instant success and Amazônia Churrascaria became a household name, a favorite place for family gatherings, celebrations or just fantastic, much-enjoyed meals. The restaurant gauchos continuously offer choice cuts of grilled beef, chicken, lamb, pork & sausage, seasoned to perfection and slow roasted over open flame.

The meat selections are accompanied by an extravagant forty-item, frequently changing salad bar where you can keep sampling until your beg for mercy, all for an inclusive price, excluding dessert and beverages.

Chef Victor reports that meat selections include Seared Top Sirloin, Brazilian Sausage, Brazilian Picanha, Roasted Leg of Lamb, Chicken Breast wrapped in Bacon, Crispy Chicken Legs, Parmesan Crusted Pork Loin & signature Garlic Marinated Picanha, Juicy Filet Mignon, Filet Mignon wrapped in Bacon, Hearty Flank Cut & Herb Marinated Pork Loin, escorted by plentiful side dishes such as Brazilian Cheese Bread, Roasted Potatoes and Fried Bananas.

The amazing Salad Bar selection enjoys many seasonal specials and always consists of freshly cut vegetables and dressings, Grilled Marinated Eggplant, Grilled Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, Deviled Eggs, Potato Salad, Cold Pasta Salad, Couscous, Cole Slaw, Corn & Bean Succotash, Imported Hearts of Palm, Tangy Tabbouleh, Artichoke Hearts, Chicken Salad, Pepper Salami, Aged French Cheeses, Crisp Smoked Bacon, Brazilian Brown Rice, Brazilian Black Beans w/Pork and Farofa.

On the dessert list the restaurant boasts Crème Brule, Flan, Brazilian Cheese Cake, Chocolate Mousse Cake, Apple Pie, and Papaya Cream. The restaurant features an extensive wine list, a well stocked bar and a nice selection of Cuban cigars.

Managed by Hubert Solagnier with over thirty years of Food & Beverage experience on the island, in Bonaire and in Holland, the restaurant was introduced to the island as a fresh and innovative concept by a cadre of local entrepreneurs and investor Rene Kan and Milton Berlinski.

With over 30 frequently-changing salads on the salad bar, thirteen types of grilled meats, a team of waiters who are entertainers as well as carvers and an international staff, Hubert is proud of his fantastic crew, and the tastiest food in town, as well as potent Caipirinhas and one of the most beautifully decorated dining rooms in town.

Amazônia Churrascaia just opened a sister restaurant in Florida, in Palm Beach, at the Legacy Mall across from Nordstrom department store, in Palm Beach Gardens.
