Beautiful food and lovely setting!!! Went after my friends wedding and was a big table we got served straight away and can't fault them

We went here for my boyfriends birthday. There was a big group of us, about 14 people I think. The services was amazing, the quality of food was amazing! I have no complaints. I am not a meat eater so opted for the vegetarian option, which was very generous and had incredible choice... and the food was again incredible! Will definitely be returning here soon read more

What can you say at about Fazenda? The whole experience is like a Samba! We arrived just before 6pm on the first day they were opening. The bar area is quite pleasant, with I think faux cow hide chairs and wooden bar stools. Beers vary from the usual Brahma beer to Quilmes from Argentina We sat down for dinner in a booth at first it kinda reminded me of an Aberdeen Angus Steak House, honestly though you start to look around a little bit more and you realise that it is far better than that from the flames to the other seating, wine racks behind tables and so on. The staff explain the serving process very well and are amongst the most friendly I have come across. Getting meat from the roving Gauchos is easy, you indicate you are ready to eat with a green disk to red on the reverse to highlight you don't need any! However, a few words of advice the starters are really good, especially the yams! Be warned if you want to leave the restaurant bursting order more than one. To be on the safe side only get one! The salad bar could have done with a few more greens and maybe a few more cheeses. I was surprised at just how much meat was on the salad bar! Once you get past the starter and the salad bar it's time for the main event, the meat, we had everything from beef sirloin to pork loin to chicken hearts. Meats are served in the traditional way from a roving gaucho with a skewer full of meat. Meats are generally quite well seasoned, not sure if these are are just spices or whether there is a big element of what Americans would call seasoned salt. In terms of drinks as mentioned we started with a couple of beers. However, we did have a bottle of Brazilian Tempranillo, which I have to say was very good.a light red with very soft tannins. It was quite interesting that a lot of people were going for the run of the mill Argentinian Malbecs. This personally I think is quite sad as it is not everyday that you come across Brazilian wines in the supermarket and I was pleasantly surprised at just under £20.00 a bottle. If you are feeling very flush though there are French Burgandies in £300 plus bracket! We were limited on the number of deserts we could have. I went for a passion fruit mouse while my other half went for a coconut tart. These were good but I have to say by this stage we were absolutely bursting. I finished with a double espresso and as a person who is very particular about espresso I have to say it was one of the best espresso's I've ever had in a restaurant, this is from someone who raves about La Bottega Milanese by far the best espresso bar in the north of England. Our bill came to just over £90 with all the food and drinks with a £12 discount for being one of the first customers. This is my first visit to a Brazilian restaurant, although my wife has had a lot of experience visiting Brazil and she rated it comparatively to what she had had there! If I was recommending going to anyone. I would say If you are going out for a special event go during the evening. However, if you just want to try it I would checkout going for lunch, which I believe costs around £10 less. read more

I am not generally in the habit of updating reviews with every single visit, being as it's rarely useful (places don't often change dramatically) and I don't normally have much extra to say. However, Fazenda is a different beast. Yes, this will mean that there's been a review for every single visit made, but hey. I love writing, I love eating, I love Fazenda and it's a a pleasure to re-live the moment in recounting the story once more. (It does, of course, leave one wanting as I'm not sat there right now filling up on flesh.) No, things have not changed, but yes- I've been back, baby, and it's just as amazing as ever it was. Oooof. It was a dark and stormy night. We had just gotten back from the realms of the 'Shire (not in search of Tolkein's rings, it just happens to be my homelands) and my tradition now, to thank mein Papa for the lift Leeds-wards, is to take me Dad out for a ruddy good nosh. He's not au fait with great restaurants, and has been known to become ecstatic over a microwaved pub lasagne. But, since he's as excitable about edibles as myself, I'm slowly changing his world by introducing him to Leeds' culinary delights. Fazenda HAD to be on our list. Foolishly, he was ravenous on arrival - this meant that he had to be patient. I tried to explain not to fill up at the salad bar, but the stomach demons twisted his arm, and he half filled up a plate. (I've said before, it's not a totally bad choice - their salad bar is incredible.) I was afraid he'd leave no room for the gauchos to fill... I'd put the cards on green before we even sauntered to salad. It was that urgent that this man be fed meat stuffs. It wasn't just their rep on the line, but my own -his last meal in Leeds had blown his mind, and this one had to better it. Within moments, we had our first cut. I sat, gleaming and beady eyed staring at him, awaiting approval as if I was 12 again and showing him my very first poem. 'See! It's AMAZING! They'll be back, don't worry. They'll bring more and you can ask for which ever cuts you want!' At first, I thought he was unconvinced. He had finished the morsel within moments. He was ready for more and they weren't there... Hurry Fazenda! And then the lamb came-his favourite. We got him two chunks to tide over, and before you could blink, another cut arrived. (A special for the night, I believe.) He'd practically sworn his soul on the fact that lamb was his favourite, and this was the best he'd ever had, and then he tried the special cow. And then it was like the floodgates opened, just as he was saying he was always ready for the next bit, they appeared en masse. Oh wowsers. Oh my word, that was the kiddy. That was Shakespeare. Literally. Melted. In our mouths. I felt like I'd shown him some kind of god, shared the answer to life, the universe, and everything (it's not 42 - eat here and you'll see), and he kowtowed to the meat heaven, the indelible experience of such cuts. A fool, a disbeliever, a doubtful desperately hungry man, no more. If Fazenda had a bible, we'd have become disciples to the cause. We'd have preached in the streets, sodden and storm-laiden as they were. Despite being too full to breathe. He regretted arriving too hungry, but this only meant we'd require a return visit. And so the accoutrements, as ever, added a final touch of excellence to the experience: the staff were heavenly, the setting was beautiful, the wine glorious. And this story may be yet superfluous to the praise on this page, but I revelled in telling it *almost* as much as I enjoyed being there in real life, wishing my stomach to be three times the size, so that I might fill up ever more. My only fear is that I might love it so much, that you'll actually expect miracles -don't, just treat yourself once in a while like I do, and savour the moment. Are you a believer? Praise be Fazenda, and all who dine within! read more

I won't go into the concept of Fazenda seeing as everyone else already has! We'd booked a table, not that we really needed to as when we arrived there was plenty of tables available. Still, better to be safe than sorry. As my parents were visiting, they'd left me to choose somewhere to eat out, and as we'd been very underwhelmed to say the least by Casa Mia last time they came up, Fazenda seemed a good choice for all. In a way I was right, however, my non-beef loving mother would disagree in that respect. There was very little in the way of non-beef being offered by the gauchos, gammon made a brief appearence and chicken only seemed to do the rounds once we'd asked if there was any coming round. Unfortunately, mum wasn't feeling too great anyway and so didn't each much - though I'm sure she would've made several visits to the salad bar and had some of the salmon if she'd been feeling better. That said, her concerns were listened to by one of the waitresses, who said she'd go and find out where the chicken was. The rest of us, however, thoroughly enjoyed it to the point I'd have been quite happy with a skewer of rib eye to myself. Dad's only complaint was that towards the end of our meal, the steak was coming out very rare and we'd had to cut around the rare bits to eat some of it! But still, all that aside, the steak was beautiful and I'm sure between myself, dad and the boyfriend, we must've got through at least a cow that evening. We decided not to bother with dessert, mainly because it cost more to have it, but also because we were too stuffed to cram anything else in. Having gone in the evening, it was £24.95, which is good when it's all you can eat - not so much if you're not a beef eater though, as mum found out. Still, I think the boyfriend and I shall be visiting for our anniversary next month and we'll probably go for the lunchtime menu instead. It's a good restaurant in a great location, but it is very heavy on the beef - whether that was just the night we went, I'm not sure (other reviews make notions about chorizo, we certainly weren't offered any of that!) but it's definitely a place to go if you're a big fan of steak! read more

Fazenda - The finest rib eye I've ever eaten. - Brazilian Near Me - Leeds, XWY

It was recently my niece's 16th birthday and Fazenda was recommended to me by a friend as something 'a bit different' and I'm so glad she told me about it! We don't often go for places with an 'all you can eat' menu because in my experience the food doesn't tend to be that great, but Fazenda was something totally different. Although we went for the daytime option when there is less choice, there were still something like 8 different types of meat to choose from and the waiters brought them round every few minutes. Every type was delicious! My husband isn't very keen on red meat so was confined a little bit, but the choice of salad was amazing. From lovely tasty olives to bean stew and a great selection of cheese he loved everything. Most importantly, my niece and her friend had a great time and there was a lot of complaining about full stomachs on the drive home! Can't wait to come back again! read more

We have been having meat cravings since our lunch at Fazenda on Friday - it was sooooo good. A few friends had raved about it so a bunch of us thought we'd see what all the fuss was about, and we weren't disappointed. A salad bar the likes of which Pizza Hut has never seen, with flavoured olive oils and artichokes and olives and amazing coleslaw and just everything, and then all the meat you can eat. Each diner's given a cardboard coaster, red on one side and green on the other, so you flip it to green when you're in the mood for more meat, and the waiter brings you various cuts, then flip it back to red when you need a rest. The lunchtime sitting is 12-3 and costs £16.95 - beers are normal city centre prices, and a 10% service charge is included, so for 4 of us it came to just over £100. A tip - the Quilmers is a cheap and cheerful choice for an accompanying lager. We'll be back again very soon! read more

Went for the lunchtime treat. Waitress asked us if we'd been before and ensured we knew what we were doing, which was reassuring. She also told us the meats were served rare and medium and if that was ok for us. It's the same, fab salad although no fresh fish but there was sushi. Red and green coaster for stop and go for the meats. Meats are still nice and I really enjoyed it but felt the price had gone up but there were a few less options with the meat. Service was great and attentive. They used to just sit you down, order drinks and let you get on with it but we were asked if food was ok halfway through. read more

Another night and another trouser button popped at the glorious Fazenda. My 2nd visit in 3 months and it just keeps getting better. Highlights on this trip included my boyfriend being quickly and accurately clocked for the Meatosaurus Rex that he is and, repeatedly, getting extra big manly portions of meat with a heavy wink from waiters who completely understand the power of juicy flesh on man's pleasureceptors. I learned my lesson from the first visit and managed NOT to dive face first into the outrageously tempting and flavourful salad bar like a squealing pig on fresh bacon crack. This major act of restraint enabled me to eat from almost EVERYTHING on the meaty menu, from the Filet Mignon and Cap of Rump to the Beef Ribs and even the Chicken Hearts. I just can't fault this restaurant. We started with lip smacking cocktails, drank velvety wine, feasted on flesh in a biblical orgy of meaty opsomania, breathed deeply and managed to force achingly indulgent cakes into our bulging tummies and topped it all off with generously full, beautifully presented Irish Coffee and iced Coffeetini. Veni. Vidi. Edi. To top it all, as we lolled in our seats in a state of gourmand ecstacy the waiter asked if there was anything else he could get us. Here it was. The test of whether Fazenda truly IS my heaven on earth: Waiter: Can I get you anything else. Moi: *wiping creamy Irish Coffee froth from my upper lip and picking up the red/green card off the side of the table* Could I please take this card......for my cat? He doesn't know when to stop eating. Waiter: *without skipping a beat* Of course, I'll get you a clean one! Then 5 minutes later as we staggered out the door: Moi: Thank you, goodbye! Waiter: *running over to wave at us from the door* SAY HELLO TO YOUR CAT! I HOPE HE LIKES THE CARD!!! And with that it was settled. Fazenda? I love you. read more

I went here on Friday for a birthday meal. I had already heard good things but I was not disappointed. The salad bar first of all was lovely. Often salad bars are very disappointing, with just the staples of warm lettuce and a few tomatoes. Not so here; there was all the normal salad stuff along with slightly more exotic fare such as vine leaves with soup, rice and many many dressings. I had to remind myself more was coming and restrain myself from overloading my plate. As explained in the other reviews, once you turn your card over the meat starts arriving. There was so much choice ranging from steak and chicken to chicken hearts and black pudding (neither of which I touched, although braver souls did). I am not much of a meat eater, but reasoning that this was the sort of place that could change my mind I tried the majority of things, and liked pretty much everything. Particular favourites on our table were the fillet steak, gammon and chorizo. The puddings were also delicious. I had the sorbet selection (apple was the best one) but the favourite at the table was the Brazilian creme caramel. I think this is definitely the sort of place to go in a group. The fact that you are all trying the same things is a great talking point and the meal does naturally take longer with the steady stream of meat wandering around, so it is good for making a night of it. One thing I would say is that the drinks are expensive, I think a cola was £3.80 but you can just get water for the table. The service was great; everytime the water jug got depleted someone materialised and refilled without us having to try and catch someone's eye. All in all, a great evening! read more

I absolutely loved this place. Once you go inside while you are waiting for a table you can order a drink in the bar section and wait there eating some peanuts. Once you are seated they will tell you you are welcome to go to the salad bar and get whatever you want. They have all sorts of things there, they have salad items obviously, but other things too like different meats and some cheeses. I think it depends on the day for what exactly they have. For the meats they come around and serve you and you are able to accept or decline anything you want. They always tell you what it is before hand and if there is something you want again, all you have to do is ask and they will bring it back round for you. read more

I've been wanting to visit this restaurant for ages as I have been to an original one in Brazil when I went to visit family. So the chance came with a friend's graduation dinner there. The meat was really nice, i especially enjoyed the Picanha (Cap of rump) and the Filet mignon. On the table we had side dishes such as chips and a hidden gem that not people noticed "pão de queijo"!!!! Those yummy cheese bread balls you can't find easy and to make you need specific starch instead of flour, From the salad bar i picked the signature dish of Brazil. The name is feijoada which is black beans cooked with pieces of meat accompanied by rice and topped by a type of "flour" called farofa (i absolutely love this, every time someone from Brazil asks me to send me something i always for it.) It could had a bit more stronger flavor but that would require some specific sausages that are extremely rare to find in England. The only think that made me a bit disappointed was that there wasn't any coxinha. Which is another traditional Brazilian treat that could be added as a side dish or on the salad bar and also no traditional Brazilian desserts such as brigadeiro, sohnos, Bolo de Rolo, Quindim. The service was really good and the people there were very nice and helpful. I would definatelly recommend it. read more

I've been like 8 times now, it's amazing! The traffic light beer mat is a really good idea.. Turn it to green and an array of meats is brought to the table in which a strip is carved off in front of your very eyes that you have to take with little tongs.. Red means "Stop, I've gone crazy with the tongs.. Got caught up in the moment and said yes to everything, now I have a plate full and need a bit of time to shovel it into my mouth and I'm already getting meat sweats.. What's that you say? House special rump? I love rump steak.. Damn it, I have to change it back to green now" Try the chicken hearts, be brave it's worth it.. Especially with a squeeze of lemon. read more

I'd wanted to visit Fazenda for absolutely ages as I am of a rather carnivorous bent and when my birthday came around it was my choice so the whole family got to gorge themselves on meaty delights. Because there were quite a few of us we got a private area and, after a very warm welcome and an explanation of how the whole concept worked, we set about stuffing our tummys. The salad bar was fantastic and I could have quite easily filled up right there (one of my daughters did, there-by eating possibly the most expensive salad in Leeds) but what I was really waiting for was the tons of meat sure to be heading my way. So the meat started arriving and it was of variable quality from stringy to sublime with the terms rare, medium and well done being applied very loosely. My top marks went to the lamb which was beautiful and succulent. I found the steak disappointing and really craved the simplicity of a good quality super-sized steak on my plate instead of small pieces which, if they hit the spot, were impossible to repeat. I truly enjoyed the experience but for several of our party it was poor value for money as due to age or physique they were unable to eat much for the set price. read more

I heard good things about this restaurant, and I finally paid 'em a visit 3 years after first hearing about them (don't ask me why it's taken me this long to go, as I myself don't know either!). This meant I had high expectations of the place even before setting foot in the place. Having been seated, I quickly had a look at the menu on the table. There were 13 cuts of meat to try. My aim was to try them all except the black pudding, as I am not big fan of the stuff. After a quick explanation of how things worked, we turned our cards to green, ready to consume large amounts of food. Before we divulged in the meat, we made our first trip to the salad bar. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised at how extensive the salad bar was! Not only was there salad, but they had cold meats, sushi, bread rolls, roasted vegetables, and lots of dips and sauces (that's as much as I can remember). I tried my best not to get full on the stuff, as the main event were the beef. As we saw the first waiter with the big sword of meat, we said yes. And many more yesss' to come! I thoroughly enjoyed every cut of (that poor cow(s?)). This is a meat lovers dream. I enjoyed the natural flavour of the meat, as I didn't want to ruin it with sauces, and it was the best choice. I like medium-rare, so the beef were cooked near perfectly in my opinion, and full of juicy-ness :D. My favourites were the rib-eye, sirloin and fillet cuts. In addition to all this meaty goodness, chips with herbs and two pastry parcels were served. Although I couldn't finish the chips, the two parcels were very nice. As the end of the night drew near, and after 15 cuts of meat, 2 plates from the salad bar I was down and out. I never consumed this amount of food before. It was a struggle getting up and walking out, but I managed to muster the strength. I've had good experiences with buffets in 5 star hotels in Hong Kong, but still to find a high quality one in the UK. Fazenda makes that cut. I highly recommend this place - good food and good service - there really is a heaven on earth!! Get yourself down there! read more

Meat meat glorious meat there's nothing quite like it, to give your mouth a treat. I visited this house of carnal pleasure and discovered the hype about this place was justified, I could not decide which i liked best the fantastic selection of cooked meats or the amazing salad bar so i just stayed long enough to ensure I had thoroughly tried them both and washed them down with a delicious Chilean wine. My group are normally very noisy and talk as much as they eat , but Fazenda beat them into carnivorous silence, with various "Oh my god" and "wow" in between the rounds of skewers. We arrived at 6pm and left at 9.30pm, the service was excellent and the waiters considerate and obliging. altogether a truly great dining experience. I wiill be back as soon as i feel hungry again , possibly in about three weeks.. read more

Visited Fazenda last night with a customer for dinner to celebrate a new deal between our companies finally coming to fruition. We stayed at the Hilton just over the square so Fazenda was just a few steps away. He had chosen this as our venue for the night and I had not tried them before. I did sneak a peak at the reviews on here after making the booking so knew what to expect. And boy did it deliver - great service and a great meal which still has me full the day after - even turning down the Hilton breakfast this morning ! We got the lowdown from the greeter and made our way to the salad bar - nice chilii butter new potatoes and a couple of spoons of the pork and black bean stew. Then the procession started - skewer after skewer of the most amazing meat you could wish for, Steak , Gammon , Chicken , Sausage and the best black pudding I ever tasted ( sorry bury ). I feel we did ourselves justice helped by the copious amounts of beer drunk in the hotel bar prior to eating and the 2 bottles of red washing it all down. We even managed a couple of cocktails in lieu of dessert. The bill was a little steep at £240 but we thought well worth it. I expect that I will be back next time I'm in Leeds. read more

Whether you like your meat or not, Fazenda doesn't hide its credentials. I've been looking forward to trying it for a while now, and the food was more than good enough. It justifies the price. We could have filled up on the buffet alone, but the perfectly cooked meats being transported by us kept us on the straight and narrow. It's worth noting we had a vegetarian in our party who was more than catered for with the buffet, and a selection of pasta dishes. The staff excelled in looking after her and ensuring she had as good an experience as those eating the red stuff! Make sure you try the house specials, chicken hearts are a must if just for the novelty, and the Picanha stands out too. I'd also suggest sporting a glass of water and avoiding beer, you don't want to fill up on the wrong items! House red is very well matched to the cuisine and I'd go for it again. The only damper on the night was being told to check in on a social network site in return for a free version of a traditional Brazilian cocktail. Having done this our excellent (funny, knowledgeable, chatty and sociable) waiter disappeared to get our drinks. Except he didn't. He just disappeared. We ended up having to flag down another 'lead' waiter after a fair time, who explained the offer wasn't applicable Fridays. Considering it was on the bill by that point, it wouldn't have taken much, from a cost or time point of view, to serve them anyway as we'd been promised them. I wouldn't have minded if we'd have brought it up! It left us feeling a little unfulfilled - especially as they'd sounded delicious. I'd still go back though, I just need to recover from the meat intake! read more

Now, it's been a year or so since I ate at Fazenda, but the thing that will always stand out about this place is that it nearly broke me - when faced with an all-you-can-eat scenario I do like to try and cram in as much as I can, but I nearly overdid it here! Quite simply, the selection and quality of the meats on offer here was amazing. I tried some things I hadn't tried before (the chicken livers were odd but definitely an interesting experience!), and some things that I've had before but were just waaaay better than I've had in the past! Whilst there are things on offer aside from the meat that gets brought round the table - there's a decent little buffet of sides - I'd advise sticking as much to the meat as possible to make sure you try it all. Aside from the food, the staff were all excellent, and rather pleasingly there were lots of them too which meant nobody was ever left wanting when it came to food or drink. The decor is also wonderful and gave me that really good first impression where you know you're going to leave with a smile on your face. Anyway, if you fancy trying out something a little different, or you just love meat, get yourself down to Fazenda - you will not regret it (although your stomach will hate you for it)! read more

Went here just a couple of nights ago after hearing lovely reports from friends. As a lover of meat it did not disappoint. I would prefer if they came around a bit faster with the meat...but that's probably just because I am a huge pig. All in all a great restaurant. For a special occasion though, I couldn't do that amount of food every day... read more

I had heard nothing but good things about the restaurant so I'm not sure whether part of the disappointment was due to my high expectations or just the restaurant's failure to deliver. As we sat down, we were encouraged by the hostess to tell the gaucho exactly how we liked our steak cooked. We ordered a couple of the South American beers (of which there are plenty) and were given a brief overview of the dining process, once again being reminded to specify how we like our meat cooking. We helped ourselves to the impressive salad bar (earning the restaurant an extra star on my review) and took our seats, flipping our card to green for go. The gaucho approached with an impressive sword of meat, cap of rump infact, and asked if we would like some. 'I'll have a nice medium rare bit please', my girlfriend said, to be told by the gaucho, 'sorry I have to give the outside bit to someone'. The outside of the cut was medium well, at best, if not bordering on well. The evening progressed along those same lines. We'd turn our mat to red, still to be approached by the gaucho with some meat. The meat would be over done and we'd tell the gaucho. I have read a review on yelp where a guy writes that the meat was a little underdone for his liking. So it may just be that we went on the wrong day with the wrong chef working. But, as I said, on the whole it was disappointing: a lot was promised but very little delivered. read more

Every once in a while one experiences a moment of total perfection. A moment when the sub-conscious self gives you a nudge and says Remember today. This is what life is about. I had such an epiphany at a visit to Fazenda Rodizio last Tuesday afternoon.I had a meal that ticked all the boxes. A meal that has entered the top ten in the my meals of my lifetime list. Any one of the good points on their own would have been great but to have it all together was simply unforgettable. Service,food,staff,surrounds, relaxed atmosphere, drink, you name it - it all melded together in to a truly unforgettable dining experience. There were nine of us in my group. It was my choice and as we had travelled far I was anxious that they would not be disappointed. I should not have been concerned. Service was quick, polite and engaging. Nothing was too much trouble. Wave after wave of juicy meat hit the table. The sight of my friends having such a good time was fantastic the boy done good. One thing I particularly enjoyed was the willingness of the staff to give us exactly what we wanted. A request went in for very rare and the meat that came back was practically mooing at us. The taste was just mind numbing. Both I and all my dining companions will be back. I still have dreams of Parmesan encrusted chicken thigh, gammon, rump steak, morcilla. Sweet, sweet dreams. We chose the £15 daytime menu and the bill, with drinks came to £25 each. We were more than happy with that. Next time I'm starving myself all week and going in the evening. If you do one thing in your life come here. read more

My fiance and I were on our way to another restaurant when our attention was grabbed by the warm glow of candles. We took a cursory glance and were intrigued by the style of service and stayed to dine. How glad we were. Meat lovers you'll be in heaven. The salad bar was fair, not vast, but enough to have sides. I do believe vegetarians would struggle however as the primary focus for the entire experience is Meat, Meat and you guessed it more Meat. Can't wait to go back. I tried cuts of cow I'd never even heard of and oh how delicious they were. Brilliant place. read more

Fantastic restaurant concept. There's no menu, you get everything if you want. Make sure you build an apetite first. More selection than a lot of resataurants and you get to have as much/little of each. Can't recommend this enough. Not suitable for vegetarians (salad bar is great but it's the meat that's the house speciality). read more

Right- This is a seriously good place to eat. Amazing during the day, and even more spectacular during the evening. The Salad Bar is unreal, it is fresh- constantly being replenished so you are not left with the sorry pieces of lettuce and cucumber. Then comes the meat....obviously if you are a vegetarian, like a severe one- I would probably say don't go here...these beautiful people bring mounds and mounds of succulent meat to you on these skewers, tear a chunk off for you and place it on your plate. Now, this meat.... good lord above...it is sensational. Another point to make, is make sure you choose your party wisely...I went with people who hate red or redish meat, they refused to ask for it be cooked a bit more (the guys do do this) so they didn't manage to enjoy the full experience, what with passing out every five minutes at the sight of pink meat. I love rare meat, and the excellence of this meat means you can really taste the quality. Obviously the chicken was cooked beautifully, but go with an open mind, and taste the menu- there is so much variety you can't not. Now the price...because my 'crew' didn't actually like the food bar the salad, paying for the bill was a hard pill to swallow, as it is not cheap BUT it is an experience, one I must encourage people to try. Drink, eat red meat and happy salad and ENJOY yourself. It's a brilliant venue. read more

I went here on the back of a review i read, and boy it was a good punt! Its kind of all you can eat, but not in the way iv ever seen in this country before as every thing is delicious from the cocktails through to the salad; i didnt eat to much salad though, far too lustful for the cuts in all their varieties! We started the night with a few cocktails at the bar, where the tender was very good at mixing a tasty beverage, they take a little while to make but everything is fresh and done in front of you. The strawberry, lime and rum was a particular favourite. We proceeded to the dining room to find only our reserved table empty, which is impressive for a Monday night i thought, a clear sign of quality and popularity. The service was impeccable even though we had a skewer of Argentinian black puddings rolling all over our table, the server dropped them but dealt with it well and i thought it was quite funny! The meat is what this place is about, sod the salad i think you could quite happily cook/prepare that at home. The meat is divine! The selection is really quite impressive as the number of cuts they offer was over 10 in number, you have to try everything! Some of the meat was a little rarer than i would normally have (being a medium rare type of guy) you can ask for it cooking to your liking however, i thought i would try it as they served it. It was so tender, tasty, juicy and well cooked, i dont think i had my card on red for more than 30 seconds the whole time we were there. I talked to the head chef after about how i could source some of the meat, and she was very forth coming with pointing in the direction of their supplier from Argentina whom she said i should mention her and i could get individual portions rather than restaurant bulk. This is one of the only times i can think of in the food industry where bulk hasn't in anyway impeached quality! A great night with great food and drink! read more

A different dining experience and one that you should attend having fasted for a while before hand. We went en famille to celebrate my sons 18th birthday and it was a perfect venue. I am not going to describe the meat on skewer bit as I have nothing further to add, previous reviews sum it up well ( well putt !) The salad bar is really fab and would have kept me satisfied without the meat. Lovely location and has a great interior and atmosphere. read more

Went here for an Xmas works meal. Not cheap but an absolutely fantastic night put. Can't recommend this enough.

Expensive, but you will not regret it! You will leave rolling out of that place, wishing someone would put you out of your misery because you stuffed yourself with incredibly delicious food. There is a salad bar which is good, but don't stuff yourself with that.... Once the meat starts rolling in, you will regret having half-filled your tummy with a bunch of greens. I come from an argentine family that takes their meat-eating VERY seriously... This place... Amazing! read more

Amazing food, a definate for carnivores. It has a very mediterranian feel and atmosphere. Definately one to take your time at and would allow 3hours there. Amazing read more

Very nice, food was great, reception was very warming, I would go here again

Brilliant restaurant and something different. Food was fantastic and had more meat offered than we could eat. Would absolutely recommend

This is the place to go if you want to eat meat. I came here for a friend's birthday and was not disappointed. The beer mat traffic light system is a good idea as it let's the very friendly and professional staff know if you are ready for more or whether you are slowly dieing of meat sweats. And as for the meat, well there is a great selection of different cuts of beef, chicken, pork and game all cooked to perfection and served just right from the skewers that the staff carry around. If you are one of these strange people that eat steak well done, I believe that option was available as well. There is a well stoked unlimited salad bar and a competent wine list and selection of beers and spirits available. Compared with other places to eat in the local area I would say it's on the £££ end of the spectrum but you are paying for quality and atmosphere. Definitely a great place for a special occasion. read more

My favorite place to go to for steak in Leeds. Service is great, the restaurant is beautiful and the food is fantastic!

Decent place but not worth the money, we paid 80 gbp for two people for what was basically a buffet of sides and slices of various meat brought to our table by servers. Interesting experience, for sure and very helpful staff, but prices break it... read more

wow what an amazing place Its a real must for meat eaters A really different dining experience

Delicious, great service, diverse salad bar. I'll be back asap.

Pure coincidence how we found ourselves here and I have to say that the food and service were great. I do love my food so coming here was a pleasure and I totally would recommend to anyone. read more

The first few rounds of meat we tried appeared to be very salty and I wasn't sure if that was the Brazilian way. After that they were very nice. Tried 14 out of the 15 cuts (didn't go for the Black Pudding) but I did try the chicken hearts. A very surprising flavour as they're quite strong tasting whereas Chicken is often quite bland. The best two cuts we had were the Lamb in Mint Sauce and Rump in Garlic. Would definitely go again but it may be a while as there are so many other places I want to eat in as well. read more

No restaurant should make you ill. What started as a very nice birthday treat courtesy of my parents ended in bouts of diarrhea for the three of us. Couldn't fault the service when we were there, and the food, on the face of us, seemed quite good. But my complaint wasn't taken seriously, and as we live separately and hadn't been anywhere else, there couldn't have been any other explanation. An apology would have been appreciated, but unfortunately my complaint was dismissed as no one else had allegedly reported the same that day (other than the three of us). Not good enough. Avoid. read more
