I must give them 5* because of their Chinese cuisine. I am not a big fan of buffets and I would…read moredefinitely prefer to order something from a menu, but the Chinese dishes they have there are really delicious and authentic. They have some of the classics, like sweet and sour pork, spicy beef and a succulent duck with stir fried vegetables. The spring rolls are vegetarian and sooo tasty. Some nice touches with the Cantonese style seafood, deep fried to golden perfection. I did try the sushi and it seems a lot of fusion for me, with Mediterranean herbs or spices, cream cheese or so. But the usual suspects are there, like the tuna and salmon nigiri and the quality of the fish is very good, really fresh. And for the price there is nothing to argue about, but this just doesn't matter, it's the authentic Chinese cuisine that wins the prize...

Definitely didn't think I'd be coming here for my first dinner in Portugal. Steak and Grill…read more Thought it was American food. Then we saw the word Rodizio. Rodizio is basically ayce meat options where servers bring around various cuts of meat on large skewers and then if you want it, they slice you a portion at your table. The most famous Torontonian equivalent is Copacabana. We got there before they opened. They told us 6pm. We loafed around til then. We tried going back. They told us 7pm even though their door said 6. We opted to wait. Worth the wait. The standard rodizio here costs $13.90 euros and includes the basic meat package (12 meats + grilled pineapple) and both their hot and cold buffet. Drinks cost extra, but a small beer or juice will set you back about $1.80 euros, and a litre of their house wine will cost $9 euros. Be warned though. If you order in English, specify what you want, because their fresh squeezed orange juice is $3.50 euros a glass. It's tasty, but expensive. Their hot buffet only has like 8 items including rice, beans, fries, some kind of stew, and something that tastes like a mix between salt cod and mashed potatoes and some kind of cream pasta. Their salad bar is not bad, but not fantastic either. I appreciated the pickled veggie assortment though. Helps cut down on the fat from the red meat. OH THE RED MEAT. The menu said 12 kinds and lists them out. We got more than 12 kinds. Chicken drumsticks, chicken with bacon, chicken heart, pork chunk, roast pork, pork with cheese, sausage, rump steak, steak with garlic, tenderloin, beef with bacon and cheese, some other kind of steak I can't identify, ham, rump steak roast, etc. SO MUCH MEAT. Most of it was pretty tasty, albeit a tad salty. Surprisingly, the chicken dishes stand out as being juicy and piping hot and tender. Also the beef with bacon and cheese, and the tenderloin. THEN GRILLED PINEAPPLE. With cinnamon. So good. So sweet. Amazing with the meat, especially with the beef, bacon, and cheese. I think my dad ate a whole pineapple on his own. The servers were fantastic about it though. Very lovely service. Side note that isn't rodizio: They have a la carte seafood and meat options. Mom and aunt got seabream for $12.90 euros ish. Whole seabream. Nothing else. Delicious. Slightly salty. The rest of us got rodizio and they let mom and aunt have some of our food. As in we asked and they said yes. Pineapple goes well with fish too. If I lived in Portugal, I could see myself coming back fairly often. Best ayce experience I've had in a very long time.

When visiting Luz for a family wedding recently, there was the difficult decision as to where to…read morehave the second hen do - anyone who has read my reviews will know that our first, which took place at Bundell Street in Liverpool and was an absolute hoot! - was going to take some beating. Luckily, some friends and family are permanent residents in Luz so helped the bride organise the event. As a group of circa 25 women, it was going to be a difficult decision whatever; many of the places in Luz are quite small and wouldn't want to cut off their evening's custom 100%, so Picanha's appeared to be a great option. For €25 ahead we signed up for the serve yourself buffet in the centre of the room, the Brazilian meat on skewers circulating the room, unlimited red or white sangria (beer or wine were also an option but they weren't very forthcoming with these options), and live music throughout the evening. Service was very friendly throughout and understanding of people's meat preferences - well done or rare etc. - and communicated well with the party, both in English and Portuguese. They even organised a shuttle transfer for us as it's really located outside of Luz. The buffet didn't stand out as anything special and was unlabeled, proving difficult for anyone with allergies or dietary requirements. I filled up with plenty of salad, some bread, a potato & onion dish, some beef stew (which was delicious) and chicken. There was something that appeared to be pizza but actually had banana on it. An unusual flavour to say the least! The meat coming round was by far the highlight of the evening and I am becoming quite fond of this style of eating. We had everything from spicy sausage to wild boar, the latter being the best thing of the evening. Half a garlic steak also went down very well! The music during the meal is hard to judge. It was slow and a bit too mellow for the atmosphere we would have liked, but the guy had a great voice and could seriously play the guitar, and I understand the need to find a balance for us and the rest of the diners. When we had finished and people started to get onto the dance floor, he did manage to pick up the pace and entertain us for an hour or so! Great value for the amount we managed to get through, both in terms of food and the sangria, but the location is quite off-putting as it adds an extra journey element to the evening and I think the space could do with a bit more 'oopmh' to reflect the theme.
