As well as a wide selection of salads, stews and curries, you are offered a selection of 15 different skewered meats - each one grilled to perfection. With everything from fillet steak to chicken hearts you wont be disappointed. If you have room for more deliciousness, you simply turn your card to green. If you are full to the brim, turn it to red and you will be left alone! Staff are exceptionally attentive and very friendly. Will definately be returning here. P. S. Try their sangria - it is divine!

In the Ropeworks vicinity you'll find this traditional Brazilian restaurant of the Meet family,…read moredrawing you in with alluring offers such as the free glass of pink fizz between 5 and 7pm on Tuesdays, and buy one get one free on all courses. You can't say fairer than that, can you? Thankfully this place hasn't jumped on the churrascaria bandwagon, not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's nice to see something a little different from all you can eat meat. I've got backup in the form of Miss X and her sister, two half Brazilian ladies who spend every summer over there with relatives and they were rather pleased with the authenticity this restaurant had to offer. Simple decor and glowing lights add an ambient, warm feel to a cutely patriotic place (the row of Brazilian flags outside the entrance is particularly endearing) and the starter sharers really set you up for a fabulous meal. You know you're in hog heaven when you find deep fried cheese. Who came up with this genius plan to take something already full of calorific goodness and add even more indulgence to it? Mmm, crispy gooey meltiness. The red pepper tapenade that comes with some of the little dishes is mighty delicious, and you can also find goat's cheese, spicy sausage, scallops, rice, salad, everything that's bound to make your tastebuds tingle. The prices aren't half bad either, especially with the special offers. And this is definitely the place to come for steaks. The service is friendly, professional and yet not too brisk - they don't whip away your plates or hover around encouraging you to leave. You're simply left to bask in the cosy glow and languish over your tasty meal. Can't argue with that!

If you are a vegan I would look away now and not continue reading this review because we shall be talking meat meat and more meat. The decor inside is nothing out of this world, but very inviting. Upstairs is the dining area whereyou instantly notice the white curtains which are bright thanks to lights behind them. Now my Portugese is not the best, so all I managed to do was basically ask them no pigs please the rest is ok!!!!! I don't eat pigs, mainly because I've heard they are one of the very few animals that harbour a range of parasites and diseases that can be transmitted to humans. Even if there was a 1% chance of this being true, I decided long ago not to risk it. I'd like to extend this gift of life for as long as possible please!!! Back to the menu, I'd recommend Viera Ao Molho De Alho, which at £12.95 is a lush bowl of succulent scallops bathed in cachaca sauce. Cachaca being a Brazilian alcohol made from sugarcane juice. I still prefer Bem Brasil and Tropeiro but it is refreshing to see that there is an option here in Liverpool for those looking to "meet" up to enjoy a bit of south American flavour!!

Unfortunately, Bem Brasil missed on most. 1st, let's speak to the speed of service. Now I realize that the slower they serve, the more you fill up without eating. Still, slow is an understatement of how Bem Brasil operates. 2nd, let's talk quality. While I didn't expect every cut of meat to be top notch, I was very disappointed with what came our way. They offer 12 different meats, however, I'd classify only one or two as high-end. Furthermore, the portions offered of the high-end were small and the waiter wouldn't budge on how they were sliced. 3rd and finally, while I normally come out stuffed from these type of eateries, I left somewhat hungry.

Its a bit more casual, decor is lighter. I think it may be slightly cheaper (comparing lunch menus). The buffet area has less things compared to Fazenda but still get a nice selection. If you have not been to a Brazillian BBQ before, basically they come round with different meats on sticks and they carve a slice for you at the table. For lunch, there were 7 different types of meat (I think) which included a couple different beef cuts, sausage, gammon and lamb. Previous visits to Fazenda, my favourite has been the gammon. However, my last visit is didn't meet the very high expectation from that first time having it. Its still good but not "incredible". Actually, if I am honest, at Picanha it seemed to be lacking a bit of flavour. Not often complain about it but it was lacking some salt - which you expect with gammon. The rest of the meats were all good - although some of the cuts were a bit too rare. I don't mind rare meat but I prefer medium-rare (leaning a bit more towards the rare) but some of it was rare. The standout meats, and I have since heard they are a favourite of customers of Picanha (and Fazenda) is the belly pork and the lamb. My last visit to Fazenda and the belly pork was my fav that time. Lovely, juicy, marinated with honey and cinnamon. So overall, good food, nice restaurant and good service.

Booking the monthly girly night we had originally planned to visit Bembrasil. However after…read morereading Mark B review he has said he wouldn have rated it higher if he had not attended Fazenda. Looking at the website I thought it was worth spending that extra fiver as it looked swisher. Using the websites booking system it was very simple to pick out slot for 19:30. On arrival there was a reception desk who immediately acknowledged us and a waitress who I felt had been waiting for us led us immediately to a comfy leather booth. The waiter who served us for the rest of the evening queried whether we has been before. When we all shook our heads he explained that after helping ourselves to the salad bar we would simply flip this carded disk to green when we wanted meat and red to stop. After choosing a fazenda cocktail and malbec we waited for our drinks before we set off. The booth was stunning we were walled in by bottles of wine . In front lay the well presented salad bar and the lighting in general made it feel eloquent. Browsing the salad bar made me happy it consisted of various cheeses, sushi, stuffed peppers, dolmas, asparagus, stir fry, mushroom and other rices, roast potatoes, pork stews, prawns in mango, whitebait, chorizo and many others . Basically it wasn't your average salad bar it was creative and hard not to go mad with it. Sitting down with our catch we flipped the disk to green and let the meat commence. The service was so frequent and attentive there were no gaps on waiting for meat when it was set to green. We had beef skirt, pork belly, chicken hearts (thought I would give it a go!) Rib eye steak and various other cuts of meat cooked to my standard I.e rare. However my friend was a well done person so the waiters would cut bits from different parts to ensure this. After devouring some minted lamb the waiter asked if there were anything else on the meat menu that we had not tried. Spying the chicken and bacon, black pudding and Gammon with pineapple we selected these. What I noticed is that they do have a veggie option of pumpkin and goats cheese risotto and gnocchi. They also offered tuna steak for pescaterians. To finish I chose a light sorbet consisting of raspberry, scoop of mango and a third scoop of lemon and lime. Overall I could not fault the service so we agreed to the service charge. The ambiance was great and the food. For £32.60 A head I would say it's worth it. I would suggest it's good for groups and couples.

Having been and enjoyed Fazenda so much, Bem Brasil was a must try. Now my mind was already…read morepre-blown about the prospects of trying another Brasilian meat buffet, which is slightly cheaper than Fazenda, but that usually is an indication of it not going to be as good as Fazenda. I had no problem booking a party of 9 (as it was my leaving do!), and upon arrival, at around 7, it was surprisingly quiet for a Friday evening, which I didn't expect. The interior was quite nice and modern, and the much anticipated salad bar was situated in the middle of the dining area. Having been seated on a 'long' table, the waitress briefly explained how things worked, and then we were let loose on the salad bar! So, the salad was alright, and not as extensive as Fazenda's, which I suppose is a good thing, as the meat is the main attraction. As the waiters with the meat swords starting arriving, and keeping my card green nearly always, I managed to sample the 11 cuts of meat they had on offer. The meats was of good quality, some better than others. My favourites were the steak cuts and best served pink, and the grilled pineapple! Besides the meats and salad bar food, in addition that was brought to the table, were two baskets of fries and possibly some light bites (can't quite remember these...!). Overall it was a nice experience, good food and friendly service, and is somewhere to dine out.

But then it happens, with a dawning realisation and not a little horror you discover that you are 3 sheets to the wind and your body cannot sustain you a moment longer on naught but beer and Scampie Fries. You need to eat. You need to MEAT. We decided Huddersfield would do just spanky, having as I recalled an Argentinian Steak House. Yes I was drunk and yes it is in fact a Brazilian Grill, a la Fazenda but waaaay smaller, no salad bar and about a tenner cheaper. But! The comparison is unfair. Fazenda (or 'Home' as I like to call it) is a huge, slick, cosmopolitan arrangement with more accoutrements than you can shake your rapidly hardening meat stick at. Botafogo is a teeny tiny one room affair with, I suspect, no more than 30 covers. You're going to need to book. Or alternatively you can stagger in stinking of Black Sheep, get told there's no room and then look at the owner with huge sad lambykittenpup eyes filling with sad tears until he relents and tells you he will try and squeeze you in if you come back in an hour. I recommend lots of mascara for a truly devastating effect if you find yourself in this position. One more pub and a zigzaggy walk later and we were enjoying free drinks whilst we waited for a table to clear. There were lots of apologies for the 20 or so minutes we had to sit, but the free drinks and homely atmosphere made this no problem whatsoever. Just like Fazenda you order your drink, pick some sides if you want them (fries and nibbles come free) and then sit back as the dripping meat skewers wend their way toward you, heavy with mindblowingly succulent flesh. We gorged, drank red wine, gorged some more, I was poleaxed and dropped a huge bowl of herby oil dressing all over Chris, they cleaned Chris up, Chris ate for almost an hour solid and then declared he didn't eat late at night and couldn't finish (I stress he had been stuffing his face for an hour at this point), we all laughed, 3 of us gorged some more and we were utterly sated. Well done Botafogo, you handled us so so well. A gorgeous, friendly, low key, well run, well staffed and sublimely well catered restaurant that deserves to become a landmark for Huddersfield. I thoroughly recommend the short train journey out of Leeds to give Botafogo the support it deserves. For Ade and I paying together plus a really nice bottle of wine was a very reasonable £54, without the wine you are looking at less than £20 a person- so get thee down there and wrap thy gums around some good meat! And remember, all life is sacred. Unless it is delicious.
