The story

Brasileiro U Zelené žáby in Prague | Modern Brazilian Churrasco

Wood charcoal and open flame

Brasileiro U Zelené žáby brings authentic Brazilian cooking to the heart of Prague through a strictly wood-charcoal grill. Head chef Martin Matys oversees the kitchen, ensuring every cut develops a steady smoke note while retaining its natural juices. The rodízio format keeps service fluid, as passadores de carne circulate the dining room with freshly roasted skewers. Guests simply indicate their choice, and servers carve portions directly onto waiting plates.

Roasted cuts and coastal plates

The Brazilian churrasco menu centers on robust beef selections like picanha, beef belly, and rib eye, alongside duck, chicken, and succulent shrimp. Diners often start with cold appetizers following recipes from Rio de Janeiro before moving to fresh sushi platters or crisp garden salads. Every item follows a straightforward principle: high quality ingredients prepared over live heat. The approach keeps flavors clean and lets the charred edges speak for themselves.

Brick vaults and quiet elegance

Patrons sit beneath historic brick arches that frame the space, balancing older architecture with clean modern furnishings. A separate ground level provides step-free access without compromising the intimate basement setting. This grounded layout supports the attentive service Gault&Millau highlighted when awarding the restaurant eleven points for its consistent execution. The combination of reliable meat preparation and thoughtful pacing makes the venue a natural fit for special occasions.
