Pampas Grill Churrascaria

Tucked inside the iconic Farmer’s Market next to The Grove, Pampas Grill Churrascaria brings the bold flavors of Brazilian cuisine to one of LA’s most beloved food destinations. This pay-by-weight spot lets you load up your plate with an impressive spread of South American classics, though fair warning—it’s easy to get carried away once you see what’s on offer.

The star of the show is undoubtedly the feijoada, Brazil’s celebrated national dish. This soul-warming stew combines tender pork and beef simmered with black beans, arriving alongside fluffy white rice, toasted cassava flour for texture, and collard greens kissed with garlic. But don’t stop there—the pitmasters working the grill are turning out an array of churrasco-style meats that deserve your attention. The linguiça delivers satisfying heat without overwhelming your palate, while the picanha showcases why this cut is revered in Brazilian steakhouses. That fatty cap renders down into something truly special.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch solo or meeting friends for an afternoon feast, Pampas fits the bill perfectly. The Farmer’s Market setting adds to the casual, bustling atmosphere, and you can wash everything down with a cold Guaraná soda for the full Brazilian experience.

For anyone looking to explore authentic Brazilian flavors without committing to a full churrascaria experience, Pampas offers the perfect introduction. It’s a greatest-hits tour of Brazilian cuisine where you control the portions—just try not to go overboard at the scale.
