Figtree: Churrasco Bar & Grill

Welcome to Figtree - Newcastle’s first churrasco dining experience. If you’ve never experienced churrasco before, prepare yourself for a unique culinary experience.

Pronounced ‘choo-rah-sco’ or ‘shoo-has-ko’, churrasco is a Brazilian-style barbecue laden with mouth-watering spit-roasted meats and seafood, cooked in a churrasco grill and served from a sword-sized skewer to your table. The beauty of the churrasco experience is there is no need to choose from the menu – all you have to do is relax at your table and our servers will come to you.

The churrasco feast begins with salted, warm flatbread with tomato and goat’s cheese dipping sauce, followed by a tantalising selection of hot and cold tapas. Our specially selected tapas are served for sharing and the small, tasty portions are designed to whet the appetite for the feast to come.

Diners will enjoy the selection of tapas and breads, churrasco meats and the seafood selection which is lovingly barbecued and basted with Brazilian marinades and spices by the Figtree chefs.

Nine churrasco courses are served and complemented by smoked sea salt crusted double cooked chats, Figtree salad and a selection of condiments and sauces.

The feast of flavours will consist of eight different cuts of meat, seafood and haloumi, with pineapple served in the middle, sliced and served directly to plates 'rodizio style' by our knife-wielding servers; the churrascarians.

We finish the Churrasco experience with a special dessert of churros, served with vanilla scented whipped cream, warm caramel fudge & toasted Brazilian nuts.

Gourmet coffee and tea is available, as are a tempting selection of ports, liqueurs and dessert wines.

We also have a gourmet a la carte menu and can provide ideas and suggestions for vegetarians and for those requiring gluten free options.
