Alma Gaucha

Alma Gaucha is a Brazilian steakhouse on D Street where servers bring skewers of fire-roasted meat to the table and carve off portions as you eat. The rodízio menu includes picanha, ribeye, filet mignon, and lamb chops, along with chicken and pork. It’s a meal for people who would rather try several cuts than commit to one steak.

The salad bar has its own range of vegetables, cheeses, cured meats, hearts of palm, and smoked salmon. Give yourself time for both parts of the meal. The fixed-price format makes this a straightforward choice for a birthday dinner or a group of hungry friends, and private dining rooms are available for larger gatherings.
