This is the first in a series of reviews which will focus on finding the best steaks in Dubai.
Because everyone loves red meat right!...well apart from veggies and vegan's of course.

Also, this topic of investigation helps me domestically as my hubby can get involved with gusto!....Not wanting to  make him sound like a lumbering, knuckle dragging Neanderthal *but* sports and steak are the two other loves of his life.....and seeing as my sports pain tolerance (yup I feel physical pain when forced to watch sports!) threshold is shamefully low a detailed analysis of Dubai steak restaurants is the only option left for duel enjoyment. 


First up is Frevo at Fairmont the Palm, a relative new comer to the Dubai red meat scene and not technically a traditional 'steakhouse'. Frevo is a Brazilian Churrasco which looses translates as a massive BBQ.



 

Upon being seated at Frevo you are talked through the concept and menu - which starts with a hearty potato soup and robust warm bread basket featuring mixed fresh breads.

Said basket harbours the delightful small, round, bread balls stuffed with melted cheese called  pão de queijo or chipá - which roughly translates as 'cheese buns'!!





 

If that hasn't filled you up there is also an excellent salad buffet bar featuring, salmon, squid and cold cuts.


When you're ready for the carne carnage to commence you must signal this by illuminating a green button in the middle of your table...and toot sweet the tsunami of meat will wash over you.







Chicken, lamb, several different beef cuts the best imo being the strip sirloin, I didn't particularly care for the smoked beef or the garlic infused beef being somewhat of a traditionalist.

But the meat won't stop coming until you press the glowing button to red ... spent, like an exhausted game show contestant.

What I particularly like is that you get a large table sharing plate with a selection of sauces and accompaniments such as Argentinian Chimichurri sauce, black beans and rice.



It costs 250AED for the full food only menu, and 150AED for the Veggie option... in cooler weather there's a lovely terrace with a view looking towards Dubai Mariana.


Frevo, isn't the best steak in Dubai - however it's a novel dinning experience with excellent food and being 'all you can eat' makes it decent value for money.



They usually have live music and Brazilian dancers too, making it fun and family friendly...just make such you keep the enormous steak knives out of reach of straying little hands!!
