Charlotte Restaurant Guide

Chima Brazilian Steakhouse, named after chimarrao, a traditional drink of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, that symbolizes hospitality and friendship, certainly lives up to its name. Legend has it, in South Brazil traditional gauchos (cowboys) would consume a diet that consisted almost entirely of beef. The meat was seasoned (Rodizio), placed on skewers, and slow cooked over a wood burning flame. Historically, gauchos were known for their generosity and hospitality.

Gauchos roam the dining room continuously offering exquisite churrasco of 16 rotisserie meats including prime rib, sirloin, lamb, chicken, sausage, fish, and more. Chima's sumptuous salad bar blends Brazilian and American favorites from salads, oven-fresh breads and soup. Menu options vary offering rodizio (a selection of all the meats Chima carries) and salad bar or the salad bar only. Offering a selection of great wines and champagnes from across the world and a full liquor bar, Chima is a place for friends and family to enjoy each other and great food. We only offer a fixed price menu.
