Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Some of the premium beef cuts, lamb with mint were very tough and salty."
  • "The buffet has a wide selection of hot and cold dishes, which is constantly refreshed and kept clean."
  • "The food is wonderful, and the serving is a great experience too because they brought all the meat to your table and cut in front of you."
  • "The meats were also good, the service was slow & getting the good cuts like filet or even the standard picanha required asking staff for it."
  • "Most of the meat was dry and hard, the buffet food was not fresh."
  • "The meat is always of good quality (not high salt content like some other places) and the salad bar/buffet has plenty of choices."
  • "The buffet was excellent with many options for starters, main dishes, cheeses, salads and more!"
  • "The steak was excellent, you'll never find anything on this level in the city."

Cons:

  • "Extremely dissatisfied by the preparation of meat."
  • "Being big fans of rodizio style Brazilian BBQ in North America, this was the worst experience we've had."
  • "The food is wonderful, but the serving is a great experience too because they brought all the meat to your table and cut in front of you."
  • "The food is good and too enough, me and my friend order for 22 pound buffer meal include chicken heart, ham, meat, everything is great."
  • "The buffet area is packed with typical foods from Brazil which are really amazingly done."
  • "The buffet options table is not as big as other locations that have far more options available."
  • "The bigger problem is with their allergy menu."
  • "The atmosphere was great! However some of the table paid for the more premium cuts of meat however hardly got service of these meats even tho cards were present."

Service

Pros:

  • "The service, led by the skilful server brought the essence of Brazilian churrascaria to our table with an impressive array of meats served rodízio style."
  • "The service was quick and all the staff were so attentive and friendly."
  • "The staff very professional, friendly and helpful, going beyond to accommodate your needs."
  • "I recently dined at Fogo de Chão, and the experience was exceptional."
  • "The staff super friendly, especial shout out to Elisa who host my experience."
  • "The atmosphere and service has been amazing we have spoken to all the waiters and they have been a pleasure with us."
  • "The service was quick and amazing. Food was very tasty and had a large selection on the buffet area."
  • "Absolutely wonderful food and amazing staff."

Cons:

  • "The rodizio staff is great and efficient, but the other servers at the front can be very slow."
  • "The food was cold except for the meat circulating around but the servers were hit and miss."
  • "Service was quick and amazing. Food was very tasty and had a large selection on the buffet area."
  • "Most of the staff didn't appear to speak English and so it was sometimes difficult to know what you were getting."
  • "The staff is not really engaging with the customers."
  • "The restaurant was super dirty and messy, if you would look at the floor or at the end of the room on the second floor before sitting down you would not stay."
  • "The service was slow & getting the good cuts like filet or even the standard picanha required asking staff for it."
  • "The only thing they share is their name. Service was fine but the food was more often terrible than not."

Price

Pros:

  • "For the price, this one is really not bad!"
  • "Went in for a lunchtime meal. For the all you can eat carvery. Very good value for money at £22."
  • "Great for meat lovers and I think it’s good value for money you pay £50 for all you can eat meat and there is a good selection of salad bar."
  • "The food was absolutely delicious and amazing, reminded me of home. And Day was an amazing server, super kind and welcoming."
  • "Excellent food, and we’ll presented/prepared. Our waitress, Anna was very professional, friendly, and more than eager to explain the available courses."
  • "As a Brazilian I am always a bit hesitant in trying a traditional rodizio somewhere else. This place surprised me in a very positive way! Great premium meat, fair prices."
  • "Good food but overpriced for what it is."
  • "Not cheap (£36 per person), but that meant 5 of us got a table for dinner at 30min notice."

Cons:

  • "Feeling terrible about wasting over £110 for very mediocre food."
  • "Prices have unfortunately increased, from roughly 9 pounds for the buffet, to around 13 if I remember correctly."
  • "The pricing is deceptive. We opted for the most expensive option which included desserts, just to be offered cheese, then another board with more of the same cheese with guava spread on top or more pineapple which was also served with the meats."
  • "I would say quite expensive if you don't have a lot of appetite."
  • "It was good. I'd come back. But it didn't meet my high expectations from previous similar places I have been to. Prices have increased quite a lot during the last year as well."
  • "The price for the buffet itself can be expensive for some which is why Groupon vouchers were bought in advance, only to find the restaurant doesn't accept them on weekends."
  • "The meat quality does not match the price tag at all. All cuts lack salt and the Costela was just dried out."
  • "It is a place that is quite crowded, but the atmosphere and the food are worth it. If I had to criticize something, it would be the fact that the meats were not 15 as they say, many of them were repetitive."
