The best barbecue in Brazil, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide and The 50 have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Clan BBQ comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Rio de Janeiro.

Rank 1. Clan BBQ
Barbecue
A neon sign reading "Don't put out my fire" glows above the door of this Leblon barbecue spot, where raw concrete walls and a full-grown tree anchoring the dining room set the tone before any food arrives. The menu leans hard into smoked and grilled meats, though fish, vegetables, and burgers fill it out. Sit at the counter by the grill if you want to watch the cocktails come together alongside the smoke.

Rank 1. Corrientes 348 - Marina da Glória
Argentine Barbecue
An Argentine steakhouse with a terrace that looks straight out over Marina da Glória, where the view alone could sell you a second glass of Malbec. The name nods to a classic tango, and the mood follows suit: expansive dining rooms, a glass-fronted wine cellar, and a menu built around serious cuts off the grill. Finish with the dulce de leche pancake and you'll understand why Argentina takes dessert personally.

Rank 1. Rufino Parrilla
Argentine Barbecue
An Argentinian parrilla that crossed the Rio Plata and kept going until it hit Leblon. The open grill is the centerpiece, turning out cuts like Tomahawk and Angus skirt steak while the room channels the unhurried elegance of a Buenos Aires steakhouse. An extensive list of Argentinian wines arrives to help slow things down further. Dulce de leche pancakes close the meal, because of course they do.
