Bem-Vindos!

At Espeto – meaning “skewer” in Portuguese – you’re treated to authentic Brazilian food in an inviting, casual atmosphere right in the heart of Jacksonville’s historic Avondale neighborhood.

We’re not your ordinary steakhouse. 

At most restaurants, by the time you reach the center of your cut, the meat lacks the heat that delivers its best flavor.  At Espeto, our gauchos provide continuous tableside service – gallantly circulating the dining room with sizzling skewers of the hottest, most delicious rotisserie-cooked meat.

Enjoy the flavorful preparations of our gaucho chefs along with a gourmet salad bar, authentic Brazilian side dishes and handmade cocktails – amid inviting waterfront views and the music of Brazil.

Gather with friends over Caipirinhas and watch the sunset over the river from our outdoor dining oasis.

Reserve a table in our main dining area or in our private room with seating up to 40 – great for meetings and celebrations! ( No additional fees for private dinning ). Plenty of parking with up to 110 spaces. 

Experience Espeto...and taste authentic Brazil!
