The restaurant is located in the very center of Moscow, on Pushkinskaya Square. Sultry Brazilian women greet guests beneath the electrifying rhythms of salsa music and escort them into the expansive two-floor space.

The restaurant’s open kitchen allows guests to observe the operation of the city’s only churrasco grill. South American gauchos once prepared meat in a similar way on the pampas.

19 different dishes that include those with meat and fish as well as with banana and pineapple are cooked on the churrasco. As soon as a guest signals his readiness to dig into a Brazilian meal, a churrascero—a cook who also serves as a waiter—begins to serve him. Swords are brought over, one after another, from which grilled meat, fish, and fruit are sliced off onto a guest’s plate. When a guest decides to stop or take a break, all he has to do is turn over the table’s special paper sign so that the red side is showing to signal, “Enough—I’m full!” This method of serving Brazilian churrasco is known as “rodizio”.

When you order the churrasco meal, you can also help yourself to one selection from the salad bar, which includes more than 30 different salads and appetizers. For an additional 300 rubles, you can make unlimited trips to the salad bar. The same system is in place for the dessert table—pies, pastries, cookies, candies, and jams, all for 350 rubles.

The star of the open bar in the center of the restaurant is the drink Caipirinha, the classic Brazilian cocktail with the sugar-cane liquor cachaça. Macho Grill also has on offer unique house variations on Caipirinha made with exotic berries and fruits.

In the evenings, the restaurant is filled with the sounds of live Latin American music. And from Thursday through Saturday, restaurant guests are whisked away to tropical Brazil for an authentic Carnaval celebration.
