The Churrascaria Plataforma in Midtown NYC was a longtime Brazilian restaurant when we visited in 2022. The same West 49th Street restaurant now brands itself as Plataforma Steakhouse. It continues to serve Brazilian churrasco in an all-you-can-taste rodizio format — or what I call the carnivore’s dream.
How the Rodizio Worked
You are given a card that has red on one side and green on the other. If you have it with the green side up, wonderful servers with different cuts of meat will keep coming to your table and offering you some. If you wimp out and turn it to the red side, they won’t bother you until you flip it back over to the green side.
Being a confirmed carnivore myself, I have visited many of these types of restaurants. I can say that the meat at Churrascaria Plataforma was excellent. Many times it’s salty and doesn’t really have that great steak flavor. Churrascaria Plataforma cooked their steak and seasoned it to perfection. They also provided the right temperature when they asked because many times they will ask you, you’ll say you want it rare, and give you a well-done cut.
Salad Bar and Non-Meat Options
On our 2022 visit, the gourmet salad bar had much more than greens, including roasted beets, other grilled vegetables and fish for diners who wanted non-meat options.
For us in 2022, Churrascaria Plataforma was a memorable Midtown rodizio experience. Current menus, pricing and service details may have changed since that visit.
