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!

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.

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.

Excellent selection beyond just meat. Amazing salad bar and seafood selection as well. Very attentive service and personal attention from management for our group. We had a fabulous time

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.

fantastic food and fantastic staff. leandro served us and he was simply phenomenal! meat and buffet was also insane! love it!
