Found this place when I had a couple of hours to kill until the next ferry. Food was lovely. Lots of different meats offered around on skewers (I lost count the number there was) and cooked over an open fire. One word of advice, don't fill up on the salad bar whilst waiting for the meat. Very enjoyable experience.
On offer here is the standard Brazilian BBQ experience. The waiters bring you various skewers of different meats for as long as your card is turned to green. Need a break? Turn it to red.
The building is lovely, architecturally at least. The interior decor wasn't so great. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, just nothing particularly right either. It's a great space which could have had a really nice Brazilian themed feel, but it's just got some square black tables and generic leather chairs partnered with inoffensive piped music. It could be any restaurant anywhere.
The menu online looked really good buy I felt like it failed to live up to its potential. We visited on a Wednesday evening and it wasn't very busy, which perhaps didn't help. The buffet dishes would have been really good but they hadn't been refreshed, the things which should have been hot no longer were and some of the things which were meant to be cold were obviously flagging a little. Perhaps on a busy night this is better but for us it wasn't great, and as my girlfriend is vegetarian this was her entire meal.
You could argue this isn't really a place for vegetarians, and I would agree. The real draw of Brazilian BBQ is the lure of endless varied meats and here is no exception. The meats were mostly pretty good, nicely cooked and well infused with various seasonings and marinades. A couple of chicken offerings were the exception to the rule, I don't know what they had been subjected to before arriving on my plate but they were hard enough to throw through the living room window of someone you don't like. Certainly more than a match for my dentistry.
Full BBQ menu was £23, vegetarian option £11. We had a drink each and no dessert and spent just over £40. I left full but not feeling like it represented good value for money, nor particularly compelled to return.
