Viva Brazil

The 2019/20 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

The famed Brazilian rodizio encourages jovial chat since diners are continually interacting with waiters, so expect a bit of buzz at this busy city centre outlet. The room is spacious with tall walls and wooden floors loaded with a myriad of tables spreading out to the distance. After filling up on beetroot, olives, new potatoes and more from the salad bar a waiter appears at your table every few minutes with a new sample of meat fresh from the barbecue. Pork ribs, gammon, leg of lamb and chicken hearts are all represented. As is picanha com alho – a garlicky cap of rump with smoky skin – and peseco de porco, a crispy-skinned pork joint with moist centre encrusted with salty parmesan cheese. The small Brazilian sausages are noteworthy, too. Full set-price dinner costs just £24.95, which includes unlimited meat selection (there’s 17 choices on offer) and as many visits to the salad island as you like. Waiting staff are pleasant and efficient, and a large bar caters to the undiminished Glaswegian affection for cocktails.
