Preto - Brazilian Steakhouse West End Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The meat never stops and the salad is great."
• "There was a wide variety of meats (lamb, pork, pork ribs, beef, sausages, chicken...) and everything was delicious!"
• "The meat is very similar to Brazilian Churrascaria. Most of the cuts were very juicy and tasty!"
• "The food, as expected was great with plenty of different meats to chose from and a good choice of vegetables and Brazilian favorites at the buffet bar."
• "The meat was very tasty and the side dishes delicious."
• "Beef, lamb, pork, chicken, all well cooked, tender, and with enough condiments to enhance the meat flavour without overpowering it."

Cons:

• "Decent meat but some (mostly beef) was slightly over cooked."
• "The meat was mostly dry and not very flavourful."
• "Food was definitely not par to Brazilian standards. Tasteless and dry."
