Indulge in a stunning smorgasbord of gastronomical delights at the polished and elegant Vibe restaurant. Allow your senses to roam vicariously, and your tongue to travel around the world with the tantalizing buffet spread. Close your eyes and revel in the luxurious setting and set your palate on fire with the astounding array of culinary treats. Arousing, and arresting, a dining experience at Vibe is certainly a sensual one that engages the senses. Since its re-launch a year ago, Vibe has gained a pool of loyal fans who adore the restaurant's innovative and unique concept of “interactive” dining where the brazillian churrasco chef goes from table to table to serve customers straight off the skewer, and sometimes even engaging in friendly chats with them. Distinct and one-if-its-kind, this creative concept has set Vibe apart from its many competitors, in a league of their very own.

• The Vibe
  Casual and contemporary-chic, Vibe hits all the right notes with its stylish and Zen-like interiors. Renowned Japanese designer Kazuo Furukawa of Zuoria Design has specially created a dining space characterized by earthy tones and rich textures to engender a sense of warmth and tranquility. Avant-garde chandeliers throw a dancing confetti of lights against the walls. The restaurant's lush, landscaped interior breaks the monotony of concrete walls and gives the place a light and breezy feel, as if dining in the heart of a natural green oasis.

• The Food
  As George Bernard Shaw once quoted, ' There is no love sincerer than the love of food .' Indeed, Foodies will rediscover their first love for food with the irresistible selection of mouthwatering starters, succulent, tender meats, fresh seafood, and the ever titillating and toothsome collection of desserts. Unleash the carnivore within, with the scrumptious and enticing line-up of juicy meats roasting on large skewers, served piping hot and dripping right off the skewers. Modern Brazillian churrasco selections include the sweet and sticky Chinese style crispy grilled pork, a twist on the traditional “char siew”; the Beef Rump Cap , oozing with savory brown juices; the soft and flavorful Tandoori-style fish ; spicy Cajun Chicken , Lamb Shoulder , Ham and many more. In Brazillian culture, they serve the spicy-sweet grilled Cinnamon Pineapple , to signal the end of a meal. However, desserts at Vibe are not just limited to this tidbit. Samba over to the dessert counter for a dazzling array of dainty sweets and bite-sized fruit tartlets. Be mesmerized by the thick, velvety flow of chocolate cascading down the chocolate fondue fountain like a rich, brown waterfall. Pick from a multitude of sumptuous fruits; plums, grapes, pineapples, figs, rockmelons and strawberries or multi-colored marshmallows to dip into the chocolate fountain. Save some stomach space for the other delectable sweets like the Tiramisu, the creamy chocolate mousse , blueberry mousse and the bright, eye-catching Nonya Kuehs .

The SD Food Advisor's take on Vibe
Poor whims of fancy aside, envy is a wasted emotion. Instead, save the salivating and fantasizing and hop down to Vibe for a taste of the real thing because taste resonates more then words off a page. The modern churrasco concept within a buffet offers a wonderful alternative for people searching for an interesting place that serves more then the usual, boring buffet fare. There is a substantial variety of food, and the selection of appetizers and desserts is excellent. Brazillian Passador Amilson entertains and engages with his lively jokes while carving meat off a Skewer. In the dictionary, the word “Vibe” refers to a distinctive emotional atmosphere; sensed intuitively. Our six senses gave the verdict: we had nothing but the right vibes (pun fully intended) from start to end at this warm and vibrant restaurant.

It seems like soccer isn't the only thing that the Brazillians sizzle at.
