in these restaurants waiters endlessly come to the tables and slice different types of meat directly into the customers' plates. a red and green paper signal is given to the clients to signal the waiters to either keep or stop coming.

churrascarias also offer a buffet table where clients can self-serve various additional side dishes such as vegetables, pastas, risottos, breads, cheeses, cold cuts, soups, and condiments.  high-end churrascarias also include fish and sushi on the buffet table -  for vegans, it is possible to accompany their meat-loving friends and enjoy a full meat-free meal just with the side dishes. 

high-end churrascarias serve special meats, such as rabbit and ostrich at no extra charge, but these dishes may not be on the menu and have to be specifically asked for -  drinks, coffee, and desserts are never included in the fixed price and are generally expensive compared to the price of the courses
