Rodizio Rico - Islington

Rodizio Rico, London's authentic Brazilian 'churrascaria de rodizio', has opened on Upper Street in Islington. Churrascaria translates as barbecue in Portuguese while rodizio means rotating, referring to the restaurant's unique style of service where carvers pass from table to table, slicing sizzling roasted meats from skewers onto your plate.

There's no formal menu as such, instead the price is fixed allowing diners to eat as much as they'd like. It centres on the wide range of grilled meats continuously rotated and flavoured with sea salt, skewered and then anchored over the charcoal fire. Add to this, diners can also help themselves to the vast array of traditional Brazilian hot dishes and exotic salads available on the buffet, all freshly made on the premises.

So, for a truly unique Brazilian atmosphere that's fun and affordable, head straight to North London for a truly sizzling evening - all you need to take with you is a hearty appetite!
