2025 is bringing a new and exciting option for diners looking for a meal with the tastes of Brazil. Terra Gaucha is opening a new location in the neighborhood, reports local media outlet Taste DMV.
The Churrascaria is moving in at the intersection of Festival Street and Chapman Avenue, behind a newly erected Wegmans.While a precise opening date is not currently available, Rockville residents still have a bit of a wait ahead of them before they can sample Terra Gaucha’s fare; the restaurant is projecting a late 2025 opening.
The chain currently has five locations; two in Florida, one in Connecticut, another in Indianapolis, and one in Nebraska.
Founded in 2015, Terra Gaucha is a meat-lover’s paradise. The concept’s website details what Rockville residents can look forward to, stating “Terra Gaucha “gaucho chefs” are experts in the art of fire-roasting meats. They hand select, butcher, and season each fire-roasted skewer that is served, elevating this centuries-old cooking technique. At Terra Gaucha a red carpet cultural experience is rolled out for diners with delectable meat and seafood brought on long skewers and expertly carved, tableside. Part of the fun is watching servers slicing meat right into your dish instead of having it plated it in the kitchen. To add to the experience, each guest receives a card, one side is red and says “No Thanks” and the other side is green and says “Yes Please.” This ensures you will always get the juiciest meats cooked to your liking with the added benefit of pacing yourself by indicating when you are ready to eat and when you want to stop.”
