They love their beef in Brazil and one great place to load up on the national passion of eating beef is Costel e Cia, a chain of specialty buffet restaurants throughout Brazil. Their specialty is RIBS (Costel = Rib in Portuguese).
The rib meat is all served off the bone (essentially the "Prime Rib") portion of the meat prized in the US for larger roasts and succulent brunch buffet offerings. Here the beef rib is served well smoked slow cooked to simple shreddable tenderness.
A nice salad bar with fresh greens and more exotic marinated veggies and fruit. Hearts of palm are nearly a staple while in Brazil. Hearts of Palm I find I enjoy on an strange level maybe because of the barbaric nature of murdering the young palm tree just to eat its succulent heart wood; like I said strange.

Polenta, farofa, kimchi all make for an esoteric but delightful salad bar at this Japanese run Brazilian ribs chain.
Definitely a winner for lunch or dinner, and very reasonable cost for such an indulgent amount of food. Not white table cloth and very much a cafeteria level of service. But GREAT.
