Steak with potatoes and sauce at Gramado’s Restaurant & Bar Blenheim

Gramado’s Restaurant & Bar brings a southern Brazilian point of view to central Blenheim. The name looks to Gramado in Rio Grande do Sul, a place shaped by both South American and European food traditions, while the kitchen makes room for Marlborough produce and the region's wines. Owners Saulo and Emma run it as an evening restaurant, giving the cooking and bar equal weight.

The opening plates quickly establish that the menu is not limited to familiar steakhouse ideas. Pão de queijo arrives with guava sauce, balancing the savoury cheese bread with fruit, while crisp cassava cakes are paired with smoked garlic and chilli jam. Escondidinho layers cassava over a rich filling, and a tofu-and-smoked-mushroom option carries the same interest in texture into a meat-free plate.

Main courses range across Brazil and its coastal influences. Prawn moqueca folds coconut and dendê oil into a fragrant stew, Porco Loco matches pork belly with guava and chipotle, and feijoada builds depth from black beans, pork, bacon and chorizo before the traditional accompaniments arrive. Lamb assado and fish à Portuguesa extend the choice, while vegetarian versions of moqueca and feijoada avoid treating plant-based dining as an afterthought.

Dessert keeps the Brazilian thread visible through smooth caramel pudim and a chocolate Vulcano with a touch of heat. At the bar, cachaça naturally leads to caipirinhas, while mojitos and a Marlborough-focused wine list offer different pairings for the spice, smoke and richness of dinner. The result is a restaurant that connects its Brazilian identity to Blenheim rather than reproducing it in isolation.
