Derjenige, der Steak bestellte - bekam Würstchen, demjenigen, der Huhn wollte, wurde Ente serviert und so weiter... Um den Ärger der Kunden abzuwehren, gab der Restaurantbesitzer zur Erklärung "Heute werden alle Tische mit allen Mahlzeiten bedient." Dies hatte einen so großen Erfolg, dass es an den folgenden Tagen beibehalten wurde und nachdem etwas Zeit verging, führten auch andere Barbeque-Restaurants dieses Angebotssystem ein. Im Laufe der Jahre gewann in Brasilien das "Rodizio" (d.h. auf einem Grill, Fleisch von guter Qualität in besonderer Art und Weise zuzubereiten) so sehr an Bekanntheit, dass immer mehr "Rodizio-Restaurants" im ganzen Land eröffnet haben. In den vergangenen 10 Jahren wurden in den großen Städten Bremen, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hannover, Köln, Leverkusen, immer mehr "Rodizios" eröffnet und werden mit Erfolg geführt.

I will start off by saying if you are a vegetarian then this is probably the last place on earth…read moreyou would want to visit for dinner. The salad bar here is alright but to be honest it doesn't need to be very special because that's not the reason you came here. Recently I have been craving protein and meat and after tonight I might consider becoming a vegetarian. The meat was very good and there is plenty of it with large varieties of meat. I just wish there were better sauces for the meat, so I could add some variety to the meat. The meat is very salty which I think is smart by them so they can squeeze a few extra dollars out of your pocket with drinks but all the meat is cooked very well. Some of the sides were pretty good like the garlic mushrooms, or the potatoes, peppers and broccoli. My favorite sides were the fried banana and the grilled pineapple. For dessert I tried one of everything and there were about 10 desserts to try, so to say the least I had my cheat day today :). The two best were the vanilla cookie pudding and the chocolate mousse. The service wasn't very good to be honest, for one the workers there didn't really speak English or German, they give you cards that say whether or not you want more food and they don't even look at them. Also the salsa dancers are kinda annoying because they are in the way and it gets to loud in there that you can't even hear. I will say that I pride myself on being able to eat a lot of food but it is impossible to leave this place hungry. You are so full when you leave that you worry about rolling right out the door and into the road. It is pricy if you ask me almost 30 Euro a person which is crazy but all you can eat Salad bar, meat and desert is hard to find so once in awhile it's ok to spoil yourself. This place is worth trying but I personally don't think I will ever go again.

Great place with great food!…read more I really don't understand all the people complaining about how the system here is. It's like this in all Brazilians!!! There's a Salad Bar so you can get whatever you want. Afterward they start to come with the Skewers, you're offered sausages, chicken, turkey, and different kinds of meat, the 'problem' is that people take from everything at start and when the good stuff comes they're already full and stupidly complain. You have always the possibility to say NO, and wait for the next Skewer to come. Also if you like something you can ask to get more and they nicely cut more on your plate. And they keep coming with more and more meat until you've had enough. There are also waitresses walking around offering all kinds of sides. Fries, mushrooms, rice, beans etc. You can also choose what and how much you want. The price is right for what you get, at €26,50 an all you can eat buffet with quality meats and all kinds of sides. Plus there's also a Dessert Bar if you still have space after the meat. The only thing not included are the drinks. I enjoyed my visit and am definitely coming back. So all the complaining is just wrong and unreal. How is it the Restaurants fault that you stuffed yourself so early? Stop bitching! It's your fault if you don't know how to say 'no, thank you' and also how to say 'more, please'.

The salad bar was a bit questionable, and so was the dessert bar- it wasn't the freshest quality so it was a bit of a bummer. All in all the service wasn't unfriendly, however it was just one dude carrying around the meat stick for the entire restaurant and took a while for us to get his attention for certain types of cuts because you can't go up and choose- it's whatever they bring out to your table.

It's very true....this little, easy to miss spot is a MUST NOT MISS!…read more Beef empanadas were so good that we fought over the last bite. Arroz y Mariscos - so flavorful, so fresh, and such an amazing depth of flavor and seasoning. The crispy Peruvian bread was fantastic. Ask for the HOT chili paste, mix it with the tasty sauce they bring out with the bread for a creamy and hot spread. Staff was charming. They were working on a mural of South America on the walls. Service is in Spanish or broken English/German. Point and smile - you'll be fine!! Enjoy!

Friendly little Peruvian restaurant in the heart of Cologne. Okay maybe it seems odd to go to a…read morePeruvian restaurant but I had just got into town after a very long two days of travel. And honestly I wonders in because it was close to my hotel. I was glad I did because I found some really friendly owners (two sisters) who have been in Germany for 26 years. One of the owners felt talkative and we practiced our communications skills in my terrible Spanish and her English to the amusement of us both. I learned all about the challenges the family faced in moving to Germany and learning to modify recipes so Germans would eat it. So the food, once they learned I knew what Latin food was supposed to taste like and more importantly that I actually liked real Latin foods they decided to give me something off the menu. She said I won't like what they have on the menu because it was all designed for German tastes apparently Germans don't like things very spicy and they don't the flavors that their traditional Latin foods have or at least they don't purchase them. so the meal they made me was something she would normally make for her family. It was a kind of marinated steak and Yucca plants and other vegetables. Then she brought out what she called a chili sauce that was very hot but also very flavorful, she said Germans would never eat it and she was surprised when she saw that I liked it. The owner said most customers don't like chilis or peppers here. we enjoyed the rest of the evening I ended up staying probably two hours. Everything that they brought out was very good. I got introduced to other members of the family, I got to go back to the kitchen and made friends with everybody there. I was invited to come back and made me swear that I would return before I leave to tell them goodbye. It was really good experience and fun to be close to the people who are serving you. Normally I would not like so much interaction but being alone it was perfect. If you go in ask to order off the menu if your adventitious.
