Rodizio restaurants

Advantages: Amazing food, endless options
Disadvantages: There is no Porcao in the uk !

...Porcao literally means Big Pig in Portuguese. This name is not a random idea, but rather the feeling you have once you leave the restaurant. Porcao is synonymous to meat extravaganza! There is also a huge salad bar, sushi, and other options for the vegetarians. The idea of Porcao is one of the most innovative since the invention of fast food. The Porcao Miami restaurant is part of the chain Porcao which started in 1975 in Brazil. With two restaurants abroad, New York and Miami, Porcao has reached the status of symbol and originality. Although there are more modern options that offer the "rodizio" style of serving meat, Porcao is usually mentioned as the classic and more famous chain.

I would recommend going to the Gaucho brazillian restaurant for some Rodizio, the Don Manuel for local Cuisine and the Convivio for a Francesinha Especial (the best in the city!). All... Read review

Advantages: An event rather than a restaurant
Disadvantages: heavily carnivore

...Well Westbourne Grove actually, but what's a block or two among friends! The word 'carnage' has its roots in the Latin word 'Carne' meaning flesh and still means meat in most of the romance languages. The reason it is pertinent here is that this restaurant offers a veritable orgy of meat; Meat of every description, inside and outside the animal. There is a strong vegetarian element to the menu but most of the vegetarians I know would feel a little uncomfortable in this restaurant for the reasons I will explain. It is also a restaurant you should expect to stay in for the whole evening. It is more of an interactive eating event than a restaurant. It is, of course, a traditional Brazilian restaurant which is located on the corner of Westbourne Grove and Hertford Street W.1.. Rodizio rico means 'rich rotation' in Portuguese and is apt...
