Beijing's more famous Brazilian barbecue buffet restaurant, located on the second floor of the Liangmaqiao Diplomatic Apartment, has attracted many foreigners and has a good reputation. The small stage in the center of the hall is home to a band from Tuesday to Saturday at 6 p.m., mainly with upbeat Brazilian music, such as Bossa Nova, which is contagious and has received rave reviews on the Internet.
Latina Restaurant is located in the corner of the second floor of the mall, lacking enough instructions and publicity, and it may be difficult to go for the first time, but after approaching, the large green wall is very conspicuous, and a hanger is thoughtfully prepared next to the front door to store customers' winter clothes. There are two private rooms for 8 people in the southwest corner of the hall, the main dining area is mainly a 4-seat dining table, and the middle is a large-screen TV and a small stage for performances; To the north is a circular self-service bar and service counter, and the kitchen is separated from the outside by a half-pane glass so that guests can see the chefs in action; The roof is a multi-branched ceiling combined with liftable folding lamps, and the main color is calm and solemn, simple and generous. The distance between the service staff and the guests is good, and there is no discomfort, which shows that they have been specially trained.
The price of the restaurant is divided into three levels: 78 yuan for a pure buffet set meal and 178 yuan and 218 yuan for dinner, 218 yuan compared with 178 yuan set meal, including scallops, salmon and other seafood ingredients. After confirming the buffet grade with the waiter, you can go to the buffet area to pick up the food, the dishes are mainly salads, cold dishes, fried food, about 20 kinds, but due to the lack of heat preservation means, the food temperature is obviously cold when dining in winter, and even a tight state. It is recommended to try the national dish of Brazil - black bean rice, black beans mixed with rice have a unique taste and heavy taste, it is recommended to pair it with a lime cocktail to feel the fresh and warm Brazilian flavor. For salads, try the carnabe core, which is similar to the bamboo shoot core, and is tender and crispy. The buffet area also has desserts such as ice cream and tirami, but it is not recommended to take more than one because it is easy to get greasy, and it would be a pity if you don't have the appetite to taste the barbecue later.
Barbecue is undoubtedly a staple of Brazilian restaurants, and Latina's barbecue is mainly beef and lamb, with prawns and pork chops mixed with meat, and the first thing to note is that the meat is generous, and it is wise to try one or two pieces of each. The most praised is the beef triangle meat, which has a moderate ratio of fat and lean meat, and the crispy skin locks in the gravy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and many customers will order it many times; The beef tongue, on the other hand, is soft and flavorful, and the hot and sour sauce masks the flavor of the beef and is less fatty, which is impressive. There are many varieties of barbecued meat, but some of the meats are too salty, heavy and dry for Chinese people, and the texture of beef tenderloin and steak is not as tender as that of pan-fried. After satisfying the desire for meat, remember to have a baked cheese bread and roasted pineapple, the former fragrant cheese blended into the bread has a soft and glutinous taste, milky aroma, mellow taste, many guests praise endlessly; Roasted pineapple, on the other hand, shows the unique aroma of pineapple, and the sweet and sour taste well neutralizes the greasy taste, so you might as well try it.
The waiter generally does not offer boiled water to the guests unless they actively mention it during the meal, but it is almost incomprehensible that a barbecue is not accompanied by a drink, so in addition to the cocktails mentioned above, the waiter will also recommend a Brazilian soda called Golana, which tastes similar to the more sour Fanta soda, and the price of nearly 40 yuan is less cost-effective, but it can also be tried for guests who want to try the Brazilian flavor. Generally speaking, thanks to the unique Brazilian barbecue and various cold dishes, coupled with the performance of authentic Brazilian singers, Latina Restaurant is undoubtedly a clear stream among the music restaurants in Beijing with a high degree of homogeneity.
