Bossa Nova Brazilian Grill Bali

If you’ve ever fantasized of succulent meats being constantly brought to your table for as long as your heart desires, dream no more, because Bossa Nova is a churrascaria, and ‘churrascaria’ means ‘massive meat festival’ in this part of the word.

Ok that might not be strictly true, actually it roughly translates to ‘traditional Brazilian steak house’, which, as you can probably imagine is a place patronized almost exclusively by those of the carnivorous persuasion. According to the team behind Bossa Nova, the churrascaria is a common sight across South America, providing a place for people to meet up and socialize over lively banter, cool Latino music, good wine and of course a wedge or four of the finest meat possible. Various cuts of beef, chicken and pork are skewered and grilled to perfection, but these aren’t just any old bits of meat… These cuts are unique Brazilian style, specially imported from South America and grilled to perfection for the ultimate in carvery joy.

The real beauty of Bossa Nova is the format of how the food is served. There is no menu per se, rather an all-you-can-eat concept whereby for a paltry 130k you can fill up on as much food as you can stuff in your gob, from bacon wrapped chicken, gourmet sausages, rump steaks, strip loin caps, lamb, to an extensive salad bar (come back veggies all is not lost!). Don’t forget to bring the nippers along too, with kids between 5-11 years old eating for 65k, and toddlers under 5 eating for free. There’s even a selection of lip-smacking desserts included in that price such as chocolate mousse, panna cotta or Spanish menjar blanco (almond cream).

Grab a table in the classy, homey style interior and enjoy a relaxed Canggu atmosphere for both lunch and dinner. An extensive beverage list features an ample amount of top-notch cocktails and refreshing drinks if that’s your cup of tea, but let’s be honest, good meat demands good wine. Happily enough a rather swanky looking walk-in wine cellar sits just next to the kitchen, fully stocked with plenty of vino from all over the world to compliment the carne. Even better news is that most of it is available by the glass, meaning if you’re only after a snifter of red there’s no need to shell out for a whole bottle. (85k/glass for the Undurraga Pinot Noir).

In true churrascaria style, diners are presented first with a small painted wooden top, half green half red. When you’re full up, flip it over so red is on top. Hungry for more? Go green and the staff will keep coming over to dole out more meaty goodness direct to your plate. This in itself is quite a spectacle, each massive skewer thinly sliced with a huge knife tableside, which you then pick off with the provided tongs. Anywhere else and you’d think twice about getting too close to a man brandishing a sword and half a cow on a skewer.

Along with Bossa Nova, the spanking new Canggu Plaza boasts a Trattoria restaurant as well as Suksema Sushi Bar to satisfy your appetite. Wednesday is Jazz night down at the plaza, so bring your mates and soak up the smooth sounds of Lisa Soul and her band between 7-10pm, all the while filling up on the best of Brazilian traditional cuisine.
