About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Innovative
Rodizio Rico restaurant in north London may well be like no other restaurant you’ve tried before – unless you’ve eaten in the bustling Bayswater original. This is a roaming version of Brazilian barbecue where meat-gluttons can eat themselves happy. Here’s the deal. For a flat price (plus a fiver for seafood options) you choose all you can eat from the buffet salads and Brazilian hot dish bars. Then a parade of skilful passadors – or meat carvers – comes to your table with giant skewers and a ridiculous array of meat, meat and more meat. Leg of lamb, most bits of the cow, chicken thighs and wings and hearts, upper pig and lower pig – you’ve got the drift. After you’ve satisfied the inner carnivore, you might choose a flan or mousse (they’re extra). The wine list is heavily Latin American, and the caipirinhas authentic. Cheery, smart décor and enthusiastic staff make Rodizio Rico a great restaurant experience.There is a 2 hour time limit on ALL bookings on Friday and Saturday evenings.

    Went with some gum buddies to refuel our buddies. Perfect place if you love meat and you can opt for how much carbs you want. The food was very tasty and it kept coming.

    What Rodizio Rico lacks in ambience and atmosphere it definitely makes up for in food and customer service.

    The staff were amazing!!! The were accommodate my sister who is vegan due to health. For a better experience we, as a group, would have liked music and labels on the food buffet. Once again the staff was amazing!

    Food was amazing. Loved the fact that you are given bigger plates then a normal buffet style resturant. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is because it was quite hard to get someone's attention to order drinks and we had to wait a while for them. Would still recommend though and will be coming back.

    Had a good night. Food was very good as always, but for the time we went it was not as busy as it has been previously. Because it was quieter, they had less meat and options on. Overall I enjoyed it and would recommend.

    Lovely evening of variety of meats and veg. This is actually my third time here over the last 5 years, probably should come more often, just can’t eat that much all the time 😅 Staff were wonderful and kept us topped up with food and drinks. Very attentive and when asked about chicken hearts they went and made them for us. Wine was very good too. Embarrassingly forgot to leave our tip, but as I was in the area the next day popped by and left it with the manager/supervisor.
