✨ My experience
We went to Esplanada Grill to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and the energy was just perfect.
There were more of us this time — not just me, my husband and my sister, but also friends who joined in. We chose a big table outside, where the music, the movement of the staff, and the smell of grilled meats made everything feel vibrant and full of life.
At lunch, we enjoyed their rodízio — endless rounds of perfectly grilled meats — and when the birthday cake arrived, we sang “Parabéns” with joy.
The team at the restaurant was super friendly and made the moment feel even more special.
