The best Brazilian food in the United States, according to the experts: AAA, the San Antonio Express-News, and Washingtonian have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Pharm Table comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Austin and Boston.

Cana and Estancia Churrascaria Arboretum hold the next two places. AAA shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Eater next.

Rank 2. Cana
Brazilian
Caipirinhas built from fresh sugar-cane juice anchor this small Brazilian bar and kitchen in Adams Morgan, where a vinyl soundtrack keeps the room at a low simmer all night. The open kitchen sends out charcoal-oven dishes and fried tapioca squares with spicy guava sauce that Washingtonian singled out as a favorite dish of the year. A James Beard semifinalist for Best New Bar, it draws the kind of crowd that skips the menu on the second visit.

Rank 6. Churrasco de Brasil
Brazilian
Gaucho chefs orbit the dining room with long skewers of rotisserie-roasted meat, slicing tableside until you flip your token to red. Tucson's lone Brazilian steakhouse, it runs the full rodízio spread, heavy on beef but with pork, chicken, and lamb in rotation. The room leans formal, all dark wood and white tablecloths, so this is date-night or celebration territory. The picanha, a beef cap with a fat ribbon that keeps every slice moist, is the cut to watch for.
