Braza Lena

One of the best churrascurias in South Florida isn't in Miami but in the Whale Harbor complex on the ocean-side of U.S. 1. Inside, Braza Lena is city slick, not Keys funky, with a huge, gleaming salad bar, glassed-in kitchen, and tres moderne dining room. They know how to cook meat here: check out the smoky, juicy Brazilian sausage; the big, meaty beef ribs; slices of pink, tender leg of lamb; and ferociously garlicky picanha (top sirloin). The capirinhas are good too and way-strong, and there's even a decent selection of South American wines. Forget dessert -- you won't be hungry for a week.
