New Brazilian eatery

At the spa, you buff up with a Brazil-style sand scrub. Your cappuccino uses the nation’s best beans. You wore their colours for the football World Cup. But have you done the Brazilian thing all the way yet? No, we don’t mean your bikini line.

Case the new churrascaria joint in town. Dress up in your carnival-bright frilly skirt and vrroom down NH8 to the newly unleashed Wildfire restaurant, where the chief attraction is the live counter, with the turnspit flames flickering bright in the night.

No bother of choosing: the set meal line-up changes daily. Sit back and enjoy attentive service. Get your mojo going with a full-bodied rioja. At the salad counter, pick one, or more or make your own. And then get with the real action. The main course is brought to the table in a relay of grills, done to perfection — tenderloin and lamb, fish and fowl, smoky-sweet peppers and creamy cheese, mushroom and pineapple. Round it off with Illy coffee.

Keep a red scarf handy. Your date may be ready to do the salsa.
