♤Review of Brazilian Flame Bar and Grill♤After getting out of our taxi outside the Sole building, we were lost as to the restaurants location.It took us quite a while to find the escalators leading up to the restaurant as their really is no signage on the street or in the mall.(Suggestion- get some signage and youll get more business)On arrival was greeted by two very well dressed and well groomed Brazilian ladies, one the manager and the other a server/waitress.We were taken to our table, which was a little small, but by the window with a view of another shopping mall.The server/carver came over and was extremely pleasant and friendly with a grin on his face.We had our wine delivered by the manager who was also very pleasant, friendly and dressed impeccably.The carver explained the coasters which you put one way or the other as to if you would like more meats brought out or not.One side up "Hit me im hungry" & the other "Just resting"We started out with Cheese smoked sausage which was smokey and tender and oozed in your mouth. Next came garlic beef which was seasoned perfectly, juicy and tender. The carver continued to ask if you would like more as he was carving, with the same friendly grin on his face.The Lamb came next which was rare and tender.After this was the crocodilus, which i was hesitant about, as ive had it a few times and quite frankly never liked it. Neither chicken or fish and weird in texture it was never a meat i would order again.Anyway the carver gave us the crocodilus in golf ball sized cubes aplenty.I bit into the chunk of meat and immediately my mouth was watering.It was the most delicious morsel of tastiness you could imagine. I am now a convert of crocodile, but perhaps only at the Brazilian Flame Bar.Next we were given a 24 hour roasted /stewed corned beef, which fell apart as it hit the plate.My counterpart, could not stop eating it, described it as a "gastronomical heavenly sensation" on his tongue.At this point we turned our coasters over to "just resting" as he had to loosen his belt.I had taken it easy and was eating smaller amounts, but still, i was surprised to find out from our grinning carver there were 15 more courses to go....After ten minutes my counterpart exclaimed "lets do this!" And turned over our coasters to "Hit me im hungry"Next we were offered chunks of Chicken roasted on a huge skewer, no bones, just tender meat which was also yummy.The carver came out with a skewer which looked like cooked olives. It turned out they were chicken hearts which ive had a few times previously. These were not chewy like the stewed european version i was used to, but masticable and very tasty....After this was Flank carved off the huge skewer, which was garlicky and meaty, & rare or medium to carve. You used a little pair of tongs to grab the meat as it was being carved off the skewer.And again, as much as you liked.A kangaroo skewer showed up which i was excited about as it is my favorite meat even above venison, though tasty it was a little bit "bouncy" (pardon the pun!!)The rump cap came, and it was juicy, you could get rare to well done just through an expert carving!The garlic bread arrived and it looked very small and disappointing.... i took a bite in the middle of the bun and was delighted to find garlic butter squirting everywhere in my mouth. I have to say ive eaten some garlic bread in my time, but the texture and taste defies its looks...It was wonderful. My counterpart decided to make a garlic bread bun with the luscious silverside as per the managers suggestion, & his face melted into foodie pleasure. For the second time he undid his belt a notch!!!!We waited a little while "just resting !"And then came the piece de resistance`Lemon pepper chicken.....I have eaten chicken at all sorts of 5 star restaurants, including an $800 degustation in Singapore, i know my food stuff....In all my life i have never tasted chicken so awesomely crispy and flavorful as this..My mouth had a party. .The garlic chicken came at pretty much the same time and was nearly as good, but not quite....Still i am reeling at the taste. After this we had a tritip skewer of beef and a flank skewer which were totally juicy and dripping in flavour.....yummo....The carver suggested the ribs, & though about to burst my stomach we agreed.They came, and the carver used a pair of tongs to pull the ribs off the cut- it simply melted off as it did in my mouth....they too, were THE best ribs ive ever eaten....There were four more courses to go, but myself, skirt nearly splitting, and my counterpart talking about buying a bigger belt, could not go on with this marathon of sumptuous meat...We ordered a scrummy barbequed cinnamon pineapple dish, totally worth doing to cleanse the pallette, & opted out!!!Throughout this meal, the manager continued to attend our table, was attentive to detail, & her and her staff were lovely hospitable people.I have eaten all over the country, from silver service to street food, and i will say, Brazilian Flame Bar and Grill, Surfers Paradise,Has THE best meats ive ever tasted, and for the price is an absolute Gem of a restaurant.In fact, im going back there next week!!Now...time for a food coma!Cheers!Author Stephanie Archangelus.

My daughter and I had our first and sadly only 'dine in' dinner here on our first night (Saturday night). We had take out from here on the Sunday night for NRL Grand Final night (Pizza of course) and then they don't open again in the evening until Thursday night so that was it for us. But boy did it leave an impression! Lovely laid back, alfresco, family owned beach side cafe/bar serving what I would call top restaurant - dare I say (for my mushroom risotto) - Michelin star worthy - food. Beautiful wines, many sold by the glass. This place is a must visit. The pizzas are to die for too! Nearly made up for the Grand Final loss!! Good luck to this lovely little place. We'll be back for sure.Thank you Sally-anne K for your extremely descriptive and excellent review. So glad you and your daughter enjoyed your dining experiences with us. Commiserations on the Grand Final outcome. Thank you for your kind and well wishes we would love to see you again. Jen

We came here for dinner and watch the Viva parade go pass. Since it was dinner time we couldn't just order toasted sandwiches, so we ordered burger with the works, and pulled pork burger. They came with 3 onion rings on the burger so lucky we ordered extra fries. Not value for money in regards to the burgers. What I thought was a bit rough was a 1% surcharge!!!! The burgers were average but I don't think I will be going back in a hurry.
