churrascarias are a type of rodizio, but they specialize in serving meat and because of their extreme popularity we classified them as a class of their own -  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 with this complete spread. 

additionally, high-end churrascarias can also 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 can be expensive compared to the price of the courses.
