    Variety of Brazilian meats, along side black beans and rice
    Shaghiegh C.

    Variety of Brazilian meats. They serve you every meat, except fish. Buffet has a tapas section with different cheese and finger food, and also a salad bar. The food is rodizio, meaning they serve the meat at the table where you are dinning, until you turn your block (has a green and red mark) to the red side for stop. The staff is very friendly, catering to your every need. Would recommend this place to anyone who likes meat, and just wants to have a nice dinner in the city but away from the busy streets of Lisbon

    Ok so the 2 stars isn't because the food was bad, on the contrary, it was really good. The 2 stars is for the service. So we got to the restaurant at just after 7pm when they opened for dinner. We were starving after a long day out walking and touring and we had literally gone hungry all day in preparation for a pig out session at the "all you can eat" buffet. We've never been to a Fogo before but we have had similar experiences in Rodizio Rico in London where they feed you until you literally pop. Anyway, so we got there, told them which deal we wanted (the 9 meats) and we went and served ourselves at the salad and sides buffet. The meat started coming and it was really yummy, but after a few rounds of meat (not the 9 ordered but less) they stopped bringing the meat completely. We thought maybe there was a delay in the kitchen and waited. After a bit, one of the servers came and asked if we were finished. I mean hello, the green and red block was still green side up, we were nowhere near full and we hadn't even gotten all the meats listed on our 9 meats deal yet either! We said we were not finished and wanted more meat. A waiter came and gave my hubs 1 slice of meat and went away. They came back again to ask if we were finished- I mean, we were literally being chased out of the place! We said we still hadn't gotten some bits of chicken on the meat list and whatever. Another waiter came with the chicken and straight after we were asked if we were done. I have never in my life experienced an all you can eat buffet where you are chased out. I thought the idea was to continue bringing the meat until we turn the thing red side up? I got so pissed off I told my hubby and daughter that we should just go as we were getting tired of being chased out. For the first time in our lives we left an all you can eat place feeling nowhere near full! I will never go to this place again. Could have been more satisfied at Macdonalds and I loathe macdonalds! Service at this place needs work!

    Great Brazilian steakhouse in Lisbon. Fairly cheap compared to the U.S. Great food, drinks, and customer service.

    Good meat. Especially Picanha. Quick tip- they don't speak english there. And don't stuff yourself with starters

    We dined at Chimarrao for an early dinner on a Sunday evening. The service started out kind and…read moreattentive, and we ordered the rodizio (the all-you-can-eat meat deal). Naturally, as we were early, there were not many other patrons in the restaurant. So the service was quick, and we were brought a plethora of meats in a short time, as expected. Encouraged by the volume of meats we were receiving, we limited our trips to the buffet (so as to not use up valuable real estate). A few times we were missed on the meat rotation, however to remedy this grave error, we were each brought four generous slices of picanha (but no seconds.) As the meal continued, service started to slow down and the restaurant got progressively more crowded. We felt as though we were being encouraged to stop eating. However, we continued requesting more meats until we were rudely CUT OFF by the lead server, while other tables around us (who had been there as long) continued to receive their meats as promised. Meanwhile, we had to practically BEG for the grilled abacaxi (grilled pineapple with cinnamon, a critical way to end the meal). In all of our experience consuming meats (both at churasquerias and other establishments more broadly) we have never been cut off when promised an "all-you-can eat" deal. If the all-you-can-eat was limited to one hour, this should have been clearly specified, and perhaps we would have dined elsewhere.

    I came to this Brazilian churasqueira with five Brazilians. These people know what a good Brazilian…read moreBBQ restaurant should be, but this was certainly not one. It's a huge restaurant but was pretty empty when we came at 5pm. I can imagine that it gets fairly busy at the height of the summer with all the tourists as it is in a prime location right next to the Oceanarium, the Science Museum and the cable car. Because of this, they probably don't need to rely on return custom and this would explain the shoddy service. For a anyone who doesn't know how a churasqueira works, you basically pay a set price for all-you-can-east meat brought to the table on a selection of skewers and carved on to you plate until you say stop! There are usually many different cuts of beef as well as some lamb, pork, and chicken dishes. The meat here was ok, but nothing exceptional. The buffet at most Brazilian restaurants is normally so amazing that it competes with the meet to fill your belly. Think sushi, cheeses, charcuterie, fish and lots of exciting salad dishes. At this restaurant, not only was 70% of the buffet space empty, what was there was totally pathetically - limp lettuce, and bowl of uncut and undressed cherry tomatoes, and a few unidentified fried objects that I really didn't want to touch. We also ordered the additional seafood sharing plate for two and when this turned up it looked pretty impressive. Unfortunately, the prawns were old and tough, the muscles looked like they had been hanging around too long, and the crab sticks (from the 1980's?!) were just unappetising. The only decent part was the seafood dip in the middle. One of our waiters was so lazy, he didn't change the plates or bring new cutlery when required and was slow with the drinks orders. On top of this, he was quite rude and unfriendly. The only saving grace for this place was our meat waiter who was not only super fast at bringing around the meat dishes, he was really friendly and entertaining, and actually made an enjoyable evening out of mediocre food. The house vino verde was also good and I did leave feeling pretty stuffed so not all was lost. If you are visiting this area of town, I would recommend avoiding this tourist trap and searching out something far more local and authentic.
