Braseiro Review: Steak With Free-Flow Fries For $19.90 At Joo Chiat

And Braseiro has put an end to the heartache that comes with forking out money for batch after batch of fries. At this cosy cafe, you can get a hearty piece of steak and free-flow fries for less than $20!

Located at 333 Joo Chiat Road, the owners of the place decided that they, too, would focus on the number three. Their menu has three dishes for each of the three sections on it, which means you get a total of three appetisers, three mains, and three desserts to choose from. Braseiro - Steak And Free-Flow Fries For $19.90 Food at Braseiro We began the meal with Fondue de Camembert ($14.90+) .

The toast acted as a great tool for us to scoop out the cheese, and the combination of the two was truly heaven on earth. After the cheesy goodness, we dived straight into what we came for – Steak ($19.90+ for 200g, $24.90+ for 300g, $29.90+ for 400g) . The flame-grilled rib-eye came with not only free-flow fries but free-flow salad as well, making this dish more than worth our money.

The steak was perfectly medium-rare, with a beautiful pink centre and a slight spring when cut into. According to The dish came with a slightly spicy mustard, which, a creaminess that went well with the steak.

The mango sauce was extremely tangy and sweet, while the habanero mustard was more well-bodied and spicy. That said, getting too much of the sauces on the fries made them slightly overpowering, and I preferred the fries on their own.

Once our basket of fries was empty, the staff was quick to bring us another, and another, and another…The salad, on the other hand, was pretty ordinary. Ambience at Braseiro Located amidst the sea of restaurants along Joo Chiat road, I did not expect Braseiro to have such a warm, homely feel, but was pleasantly surprised.

The tables are mostly large and well spread out, making it comfortable for families to dine together. The lighting was soft, and the owners were extremely hospitable. The staircase in the restaurant is tucked behind a little doorway, and leads to an equally intimate second-floor.

Hidden close to the bar counter on the second floor is an unassuming door, and unless you pay close attention to a small sign, you would likely miss the opportunity to find yourself at a beautifully quaint outdoor sitting area. Scattered with a combination of sofas as well as bar stools, the area has a Bali-esque feel to it, with fairy lights strung along the ceiling and a hammock dangling in the corner. The Verdict Steak is always good, and fries are something I could consume at any point in the day.

Coupled with the ambience and reasonable quotations, Braseiro is definitely a place I would return to.
