churrasco restaurant ALEGRIA GINZA

This is a little tucked away in that the entrance is on the side by something like an alley. The restaurant itself is cozy and the service is superb. Food is perfectly cooked and seasoned. They provide you with various kinds of grilled meats and vegetables and won’t stop doing their rounds of serving you till you flip the table coin to say no thank you 🙏 we ended up eating more than usual thanks to the great service and food. Wine and beers are also really good. I would highly recommend this place

Fantastic meat celebration! Loved it. The only drawback was that some of the drinks were a bit flat and they stopped serving too early. But seriously amazing meats!

Tucked away in an alley of an unassuming office building on the edge of Higashi Ginza and Ginza, we decided to try this Brazilian churrascco as we were craving for some grilled meat! They offer a lunch tabehoudai (all you can eat) for 2 hours at 3,000 yen per person with 15 choices (incl. vegetables and fruit). We thought this was a very attractive price point, as usually these are above 5,000 per person at other places. Note that their dinner option is 5,200 yen! The restaurant is quite small and a bit dated but the staff were very friendly and proactive. Unfortunately, we had an odd smell at our table that affected our experience a bit (maybe due to the age of the building/decor?). Either way, we definitely got our money's worth. The staff cycled through all 15 items on their menu in good time, ranging for 3 or 4 beef choices, 2 types of chicken, several pork cuts, sausages, pineapple, potatoes, eggplant and zucchini. After their first run through, you can pick any of the items you like and theyll come back with more. We liked their beef cuts, except for the pepper steak which was too fatty, their grilled pineapple was great, sausages and chicken were also yummy. The rest of their items were okay. Obviously, at this price point, don't expect the best meat quality. With your tabehoudai, you get a salad and some bread. They also offer curry rice at the end of your meal if you're still able to eat! Overall, we definitely got our fill but would only recommend if you're craving a lot of meat and are looking for a cheaper option.

The meat was delicious, but as a Brazilian person, I have to say that the rest of food was a little disappointing, and the star of the show in my opinion, the picanha, wasn't amazing. Not authentic, and the pão de queijo was overcooked, almost burnt to be honest. They had a big party there when I went, but it's a small space so I could barely hear the person who was with me, it was difficult to have a conversation. Don't really recommend it and don't plan on going back.

I seriously can't recommend this restaurant to anyone. I've been to several ALEGRIA series restaurant and they were all very good. Cheap price with delicious meat EXCEPT this GINZA one. Visited during lunch hour on weekday, no waiting. This restaurant is located in a very old building, the restaurant inside had a weird smell, like there were some garbage just cleaned out. Anyway, ordered Mix Plate which costs 1000 yen with free soup. Mix Plate was served with two pieces of chicken, two pieces of pork, one tiny chunk of beef steak and one sausage. The chicken was undercooked, you could see the raw color of it, the meat itself was very chewy(because its still raw), the taste of basil was so weird. The pork was very tough to bite, and was almost fat, and had no flavor. The beef was just...okay... very tough to bite, the only meat that you could "enjoy". The sausage was also just okay, without the sausage I seriously cannot finish the rice. Overall, bad environment with bad, undercooked meat. Seriously, lunchtime is a no go for this restaurant.

This Brazilian steakhouse is definitely not for foreign people. I walked in the creepy alley to ask for a table, the waiter looked shocked to see a white person around and just gave an excuse that it was full not to serve me, not even asked to wait and the place wasn't busy and it was early evening. Don't waste your time walking there if you are a tourist.

Food is delicious! We came from America, and we wish this restaurant was near our house. We were very satisfied and the quality of the meat was excellent!

The restaurant has great staff and brilliant food. It is extraordinary! Highly recommended .
