The Most AuthenticBrazilian BBQExperience in Lisbon
Private rooftop. Live charcoal fire. Real picanha.Hosted by a Brazilian pitmaster with 35+ years of experience.
An Experience, Not Just a Meal
The Ritual
Learn the secrets of Brazilian BBQ and the art of fire.
The Story
Discover the origins, the culture and the passion behind every cut.
The Fire
Charcoal, time and technique. The real Brazilian way.
The Cuts
Picanha and more premium cuts, cooked to perfection.
The Vibes
Cold beers, good music and great people. That's Brazil.
The Fire
We cook on charcoal.Always.
Gas is convenient. Charcoal is a ritual.
The moment Marcelo lights the fire, the experience begins. The heat, the smoke, the smell, the sound of charcoal crackling — these are not details. They are the whole point.
Every cut of meat is cooked at exactly the right distance from the embers. Every temperature is read by feel, by instinct, by 35 years of practice. Not by a thermostat.

The Workshop
This is not a meal.This is a workshop.
You participate. You ask. You learn. You feel.
How should I cut this piece — and why?" I ask my guests this every time. The answers are always different. The lesson is always the same: meat has a language. Tonight you'll learn to read it.
— Marcelo Nascimento
Watch
See how charcoal is prepared, how heat is managed, how the meat talks back.
Participate
Marcelo will involve you directly. Your opinion matters at the grill.
Learn
Fibres, fat, temperature, timing. You'll go home knowing things most chefs don't teach.
Eat & Remember
The meal you cook together always tastes better. That's the whole idea.
Every session is unique. The cuts are different, the guests are different, the conversations are different. But the passion behind the fire is always the same.
The Story of Picanha
Most people outside Brazil havenever tasted real picanha.
That ends at your BrBBQ session.
The Name
Every BrBBQ session comes with stories — fascinating curiosities about picanha and other cuts that will change the way you see what's on your plate forever.
The Tradition
Churrasco is not just a cooking method — it's a Brazilian ritual passed down through generations. At BrBBQ, you'll discover the culture, the passion and the history behind every fire-cooked meal.
The Techniques
From the art of using Parrilla salt, to the right way to cut each piece, the ideal resting time, and which sides bring out the best in every cut — Marcelo shares the techniques he's refined over 35 years.
The Sear
High heat on charcoal, fat-side first, no rushing. We seal the juices in before the final cook. This is what separates real churrasco from everything else.
At Every BrBBQ Session
You won't just eat picanha. You'll understand it — and you'll be able to recreate it at home.

Marcelo Nascimento
Host, Pitmaster & Workshop Leader
I've been making churrasco for over 35 years — not as a job, but as a calling. I grew up learning the rituals of Brazilian fire cooking: how to read the heat, how to coax the fat, how to tell the story of a cut of meat.
My favourite part? The conversation. Every time I light the charcoal, I start talking — about the meat, the fire, the technique. I can't help it. And every time, someone leans in to learn.
I moved with my family to a beautiful place called Cascais, a municipality in the Lisbon District — and I brought the whole tradition with me. My knives have my name engraved on them. My leather apron has seen thousands of sessions. The charcoal is always real.
