Tabelog ratingAlma.De Churrasco offers an authentic Brazilian churrasco (rodízio) experience from a stylish, dimly lit dining room on the third floor of a building in Nagoya's Sakae district. The format is a single all-you-can-eat menu where staff bring skewers of freshly grilled meats to your table and carve them directly onto your plate. The restaurant serves 13 different cuts, with guests consistently praising the quality of the picanha (top sirloin cap), wagyu rump, sausages, and chicken hearts.
Beyond the main cuts, reviewers frequently mention the hot grilled pineapple and baked cheese as highlights, along with the generous servings of pão de queijo (cheese bread). The experience is rounded out by a high-quality salad bar and homemade desserts like Brazilian pudim and brigadeiro, which guests single out as being far better than typical buffet fare. The service is often described as attentive and the atmosphere as perfect for a date night. However, some guests note that the entrance is easy to miss, the room can feel cramped when full, and the standard two-hour seating limit can make the end of the meal feel rushed.
For meat lovers, the restaurant represents excellent value. Reviewers in 2024–2026 reported paying ¥6,600 per person for the all-you-can-eat course. Drink packages cost extra, with an alcohol plan adding around ¥2,200 and a soft-drink plan ¥1,100. Typical final bills with drinks were in the ¥7,700–¥8,800 range.
