About Barraca

Barraca is the Claus Group’s spectacular Rodizio Grill & Bar concept. Rodizio is an authentic Brazilian dining concept where a wide variety of meats are grilled and then sliced and served at the table by a team of Passadores. In addition, there is unlimited access to the extensive Fresh Market Table and various served side dishes.
