The meat and the buffet is very poor and the combination price to quality is overrated! the garcons are not happy to serve you!

I would say... don't miss this place if going to Natal. Because of the food, the location and the price. One of the top3 in Natal. For meat lovers, great barbecue, meat/beef, grilled and the best from the city. Nice atmosphere, central location, although the restaurant is really big. If you like barbecue and meat, this is the place for... More

There are two Tabua de Carne in Natal, but the best one is in Via Costeira because of the nice view of the Ocean. Do try to be seated next to a window for the fantatisc view. When ordering choose A La Carte since it is far better off than the buffet. I visited Tabua de Carne more than once... More

Nice place but they try to sell the buffet instead of the a la carte menu. It becomes a rodizio and falls short from the experience it may be as a place to eat regional food.

This is a Brazilian barbecue place, with all sorts of Brazilian cuts, grilled to perfection. You may also chose to have a specific cut grilled to order and they will gladly do it for you. Lots of other food in the buffet area, including deserts and sweets exclusive to the northern eastern cost of Brazil. I loved this place, went... More

People tal a lot about this place. However, if you have been to barbecue places in the south and southeast of Brazil, you will see they are far from having similar good food.

Tabua de carne was chosen as an option to have meat in Natal. Although service and environment is ok, the restaurant is very crowded and service is not individual, with waiters always running from table to table. Meat (we had a picanha simples) is ok but a little pricey.

Good food. Kinda heavy, but very tasteful. If your kids are picky you can find something like pasta to satisfy them. The "String Bean" (feijão de corda) is delicious.
