Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Great food at blistering speed. Coming from europe, i’m used to french dining and that speed was a bit of a turn-off. But if you’ve got your expectations set, you’ll have a good time. Bring your hungry friends and a warm jacket."
"First time at Brazilian BBQ anywhere in the world…and what a place to experience it! Absolutely mind blowing, face melting, taste-bud tingling. Meat did not stop coming to us from the minute we sat down. Everything from beef to lamb to chicken to salmon. The salad bar was exquisitely curated with fresh produce, stewed fruits, and other condiments to balance out the onslaught of meat. Also a sushi bar with delicately prepared sashimi and maki. Honestly, this was one of the best culinary experiences I have ever had. Tried chicken heart for the first time, which was delicious. My favourite had to be the fillet mignon. Cinnamon toasted pineapple to wash down the meat was the perfect way to finish the meal. My parting advice is - PACE YOURSELF!"
"Great place, lots of options. They have sushi and salads for those not into meat. Great drinks. R$135 per person. Good service and quality of the meet."
"This is what and how a Brazilian churrascaria should be. Very nice cold buffet and excellent cuts of meat. Atmosphere I find a little less appealing as it is just "1 big room" filled with tables but the quality of the food makes up for it."
"If you are ever in Rio I would say you should go there. I sadly did not take pictures of the meat but from the entrance to the end we were not one minute with our plates empty. It was more than perfect. Meat quality was amazing. Fish was very fresh. Staff was very nice and attemptive to us."
"I've been in Rio for a month now and this is by far the best restaurant I've been to. The food and especially the service is superb."
"A total meat-fest! They have a few fish dishes for the non-meat eaters like myself but my colleagues seemed to enjoy the Rodizio. Desserts were great, too. Friendly and efficient staff who pretty much ensure your plate is never empty!"
"Service one of the fastest and best in the world! This restaurant way above the 5 star with average 50$ u can have unlimited best meat sea food even oysters love this place."
