For £21.50 it is all you can eat, really as much as you can handle so be sure to take sweat pants when you come here. The salads are lovely and fresh and the meat is bursting with flavour and prepared in front of you (almost). Very long skewers hold beef, chicken, lamb or pork and they are being cooked in a massive fireplace that has a very funny pork sculpture with an apple on its side. Vegetarians fear not, besides the saldad bar they also offer grilled vegetables skewers at a price of £12 for all you can eat. Very friendly staff, but for some reason I was not allowed to take a picture of their food, I guess you are just going to have to go and see for yourselves.

Started the dinner with a very strong Caiprinha, my friend had a glass of the house red, which she said was surprisingly good. We then had fried prawns without shells for a starter, which were delish. I can't put my finger on what the flavour was, but they were perfectly cooked and very tasty. My friend then had chicken with cheese, rice and beans for her main. Which was good, but nothing to write home about. I had beef ribs with rice and beans. The ribs could have been cooked a little lower/slower and I think they would have ended up more tender. Additionally they were quite salty... and I really like salt. All in all an enjoyable night out, but at almost an hour away from my house, nothing I would recommend or travel back for. If you are in the area not a bad alternative to you standard English fare at a pub.

Sadly Coco Bamboo has closed its doors. But in its place is now Touro, another brazillian…read morerestaurant that opened about three weeks ago, or so I was told. This time, instead of an a la carte menu they do rodizio (unlimited buffet + unlimited meat cuts). It's the second restaurant of this kind I've been to and it's quite nice. The meat cuts are tender, there are plenty of options (salads, cheese, breads, chips, vegetables, ...) in the free buffet and quite a few desserts, too. It's impossible to go away hungry, hehe. Staff were very attentive and kind, and the local itself is small but cosy. The only minus for me is that being on the basement level, there's virtually no phone signal (so no sharing photos of your dishes right there on the spot!). I suppose in a way it's a plus, so you get to socialize more with your peers, but if you're a lone eater like me who likes to have something to read while eating, best remember to take a book (or download one before hand!).

It's also adorable with a lovely man serving and making all the food out the back. I walked past this place this morning and thought, "I must pop in for lunch, this place looks too cute." I'm so glad I did! Browsing the menu there is a host of Brazilian home baked delights on offer, from chicken croquettes to cheesey dough dumplings. I went for one of their home made sandwiches filled with egg mayo and tonnes of salad. That with an apple cost no more than £3. What a great value lunch. They do have a little sitting area for 2 people that you can eat at. It's really nice because you can sit and watch the world go by while munching your lunch. I am so going back here to try the rest of their menu as well as their coffee. Well done Café Brasileiro, I can't wait to see you grow ever popular with the locals.

Love it, the food, the atmosphere, the service, the music. A warm, vibrant, friendly and welcoming venue. The bar is at the front as you walk in, and then the restaurant is on several levels, with plenty of seating, so although it was heaving when we arrived quite late on a Friday evening, we did managed to find two tables next to each other, to cater for our group of 8 people on the first floor. They even have a terrace on the top floor and live music in the basement. The table of three had the sharing tapas platters, and we had the traditional main dishes, the Moqueca, a classic from Bahia of mixed seafood and fish stew made with sweet peppers and coconut milk with steamed rice; the Feijoada dish, slow cooked mixed pork meat and black beans stew with rice, farofa, greens and orange, and finally, Picanha na chapa, this was by far the best, rump beef from Brazil with onions, steamed rice and salad. They were all so tasty, melt in your mouth, delicious! The drinks are just as good, I started with a tequila, followed by passion fruit caipirinhas. Late into the evening, the music got even better, and it was particularly hard to leave!

The portions were great, the prices were fair and after having lived in Brazil for five months, the food tasted pretty authentic to me. P.s. It may not be obvious when you go inside, but there's a nice rooftop terrace too!

This place is the bomb for good reasonably priced Rodizio…read more Having tried one in Clapham Rodizio Brazil and absolutely hating it, even I didn't really know why I was risking this again. But this place highlights why you could never tarnish every business with the same brush. It set a new standard. We were the first here for dinner and whilst the son of the owner was a little quiet at first, he was perfectly polite and let us get seated. After taking our drinks order which was two soft drinks (they have the lovely Guarana) we set about eating some salads and other buffet starters. The rice was cooked perfectly, as were the pork/beans and pinto beans. There was cassava pieces, and some yummy cheese puff things that were extremely addictive along with chickpeas, salads, salsa, fries and other things. It wasn't a huge selection for a rodizio, but it was a concise and allowed us to try everything. It was all really good. As we started eating, the meat started arriving. It isn't the card up/down thing here, and it isn't staggered in evenly spaced 10-15 minute intervals. The staff here are very mindful of how far you'll likely be through your food and when you'd probably like some more. You can also always ask for a particular meat you want more of, and they'll helpfully bring more of it out. It was rare to find them return to the kitchen with any meat on their skewers. They would normally take just the right amount out depending on the number of people dining. And might I add, it was all very fresh. No tough chewy dried meats here. Speaking to the staff, it's because they roast all the meat on a charcoal spit. Meaning it remains tender and succulent. The chicken was the most tender meat I've ever eaten. It was well charred on the outside, but it was almost like it was steamed from the inside. There was no pinkness near the bone that you would normally attribute to a piece of meat cooked this gently. Amazing. The meat courses delivered to us were spicy sausage, chicken drumsticks, chicken heart, pork, pork ribs and maybe a few more chicken/pork dishes I can't remember. As non beef eaters, we missed out on quite a few courses that I kind of regret a little, but makes this place all the better for you beef eaters out there. These were beef short ribs, beef Picanha, and maybe one or two more beef dishes I can't remember. The only thing really missing was Lamb. But the chicken was so good, I pretty much substituted that for the beef rounds, having 3 in total and they aren't small! Dinner is coming to a close when they see you're kind of stuffed and you're served some grilled pineapple. This was good. If only they'd cut all the black bits out. On a side note I noticed the groupon voucher mentioned banana fritters. I asked the staff, and I expected a little resistance, them saying perhaps, it wasn't on the menu tonight or similar, but they immediately said they'd check with the kitchen in a few seconds later, confirmed it would be ready in 5-10 minutes. Lovely responsive service. I believe the mother was in the kitchen making this, and it was quite nice to be able to see from the doorway the actual fresh bananas being taken from atop the fridge, hearing the chopping and mixing of the batter... They were really good, with a breadcrumb type batter compared to the normal pancake type. The bananas were a bit firm, but to be honest I like them like this. Dessert was a brazillian puddim. Which is a little like an egg custard tart and creme brulee. It was a delicious rich end to a meal that left us stuffed and certainly a few kgs heavier. In all, it was a lovely evening out with homely brazillian food. The place I'm told had only been open for a year and I was surprised it wasn't busier to be honest. Food of this quality just deserves more attention. I'd certainly be back even at full price. One place they could start is with menus in English on their website. I was told that was being worked on too. If you're around Stamford Hill with an appetite. I now have a place I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Walking into Galpao is like walking into a different world and even though I have never been to Brazil I am sure this is a very authentic experience (probably mainly due to a Brazilian news channel playing in the background). The place is busy with diners and people ordering takeaways. As I am not familiar with Brazilian food I opted for a selection of tapas sized dishes. On reflection I should have tried one of their set meals - I had food envy when I saw everyone else's combinations of meet, chicken or fish which were served with rice, beans and salad. The service was particularly welcoming and I will definitely return on my next excursion into this neck of the woods.
