  • Last time I was at Plataforma (about a year ago) it was much worse than previous years. Practically empty, no atmosphere whatsoever, salad bar was a little sad, meat was mediocre

  • replying to u/mtempissmith: Churrascaria Plataforma has also been suggested several times on here. They're in Manhattan not far from the other Fogo. I'd like to go but I'm just not sure I can eat enough to make it worth it and going on your own besides seems lame. This seems like a place you'd want to go to with a bunch of friends or work buddies or something like that.

    I thought plataforma was terrible. The meat was overcooked and tough and the pace of the food delivery felt off.

  • How about a Brazilian churrascaria? There’s a couple in midtown: Churrascaria Plataforma on W49th and Fogo de Chão on W53rd across from MoMA. There’re all you can eat steakhouses where the waiters walk around with giant swords full of meat, chicken, pork, sausages, lamb, etc, and if you want some, they’ll slice off a few pieces for you.

  • For something different, but great steak (and other meats), you might consider Churrascaria Plataforma on West 49th Street. Good food but also a festive experience for your birthday.

  • replying to u/real-human-not-a-bot: Never been to Plataforma, but the picanha at Fogo is one of my favorite things on this earth. Picanha, particularly churrascaría picanha, is magic.

    Plataforma is not great, the meat cuts leave a lot to be desired

    That said it was still totally worth doing if you can’t get a group together.

    Pretty mediocre when I went earlier this year and not worth the price tag.
