Discover the history of Rafain Show Steakhouse

The Rafain family started their business in the restaurant, accommodation, events and entertainment sector in 1959 – that's many years of experience!

It all started in the 1890s, with the height of Italian immigration to the state. Immigrants brought with them much of their culture and cuisine.

In the 20th century, the history of what would become the Rafain group began. The kickoff came from the union of Olímpio Raffagnin and Philomena Maria Morello.

The two had in common the taste for serving people well, as well as the spirit of hospitality. 

These two qualities were passed from generation to generation to their descendants.

Over time, the family's various businesses grew, bore fruit and expanded, making the Rafain name a guarantee of quality in the city.

In 1959, Rafain Show Churrascaria was founded, and since 1981, for more than 40 years, it has been in the same place, offering a good meal, as well as an incredible show.

Spectacle worthy of Guinness World Records

I'm sure you're already tempted to visit Rafain Show Churrascaria after we talked about the food you'll find at the buffet.

But, if we say that the show presented is so incredible that it has already been mentioned in the Guinness World Records as the show with the greater number of typical dances presented at a dinner show?

The idea of ​​the Latin American Show is to present, for approximately 1h30, typical dance numbers from eight countries:

  • Brazil;
  • Argentina;
  • Paraguay;
  • Uruguay;
  • Chile;
  • Bolivia;
  • Peru;
  • Mexico.

During the show, you will literally take a trip to these countries, through their music, dance and culture.

The actors are extremely talented and are super animated. 

It will be impossible not to participate in the various interactions that are made with the public – even if it is just clapping when requested.

A much-awaited moment of the show is the “napkin moment”: the audience is encouraged to shake and shake their napkins!

The most excited are invited to dance with the dancers. 🕺💃
