Perfect place if you like meat! There's no limit to the quantity and even the quality is good. You can also have pasta salads, vegs, beans etc. My favourites are picanha and the one with pepper. Really tasty!
Good for what ails ye'. First time I went here I ate so much I had chest pains.. True story.
I survived however to return many many times. SO good. When I return to London I will make a beeline for this place.
Great restaurant. A truly 'Brazilian Barbecue Rodizio' experience outside of Brazil. I have been to the Victoria branch 5 times and always great service!
Me and the kids love this place !! Great value , wonderful service and meat to die for !!!!
Great food, and a great way to serve all of the meats. Definitely recommend if you like your meat medium to rare as it is all fresh and juicy.
Perfect!!!!. I am really shocked to read the bad reviews on here!
My first time at Preto - Putney was november 2010... and since then I have been going back on a regular basis (average of once every 2 weeks). I tend to take all my different groups of friends and they keep asking for more!
I am a Brazilian who has been living in London for the last 15 years. I have been to every single Brazilian restaurant in town and Preto in Putney is the only one that gives you a real Brazilian Experience.
The food is absolutely amazing. The buffet and the meats are wonderful. Tasty and yummy! A real taste of the real Brazilian food! Oh and when they start bringing all the juicy and tender meat? I can't stop eating!!!!! The service is top notch! All the waiters are very attentive and kind. They always ask if there is any special request and they will bring ot for you. In my case once, I was the only one at the table that liked medium rare meat... all the others likes well done... all the waiters made sure they made all of us happy!
I don't really understand people complaining about the price! I mean at the end of the day you have as much food as you can and as much meat as you can. At 19.95 a head it if a bargain! You can help yourself as many times as you want to the Buffet and then they will keep bringing the meat until you say STOP! So I don't really understand how people can complain about the price!
The management always very polite, attentive and impeccable.
Preto Putney - A dream come true!
Hot buffet. I visited this lovely restaurant last night with some friends. We had an amazing time and were made to feel very welcome and special even though they were having some issues with their electricity supply. The salads were very appetizing and fresh as were the hot dishes. The meat on the skewers was amazing and beautifully served. When it came to desert we shared three deserts between six of us and to be honest I regreted that!! I could have easily finished the big portion of coconut and chocolate cake by myself. The music was not too loaud, provided by a young guitarist, just right. The prices were very reasonable. For £20 you had a massive choice of salads and hot dishes as well as all the meat you could eat ( which was cooked to perfection). Finally, the tea and coffee machine was not working but as my friend insisted she had to have tea, David the manager arranged somehow for us to have tea which was very nice of him and to top it up, it was complementary :-)
We went to Preto on a whim and did not expect to like it, we were very pleasantly surprised and we are going back again this weekend. Thank you to all the staff for their kindness, friendliness and outstanding service.
Recommend to all!!!. My boyfriend took me to this restaurant at the weekend and i just want to say what a fabulous time we had there.
Firstly I had booked a table the day before because of a friends recommendation and was really looking forward to it as she had really hyped it up.We arrived and were shown to the bar area. The Lady who saw us in (i think the owner)was very welcoming and attentive.We both ordered a cocktail-its hard not to in the lively atmosphere ,it was the green jamaican-and was delicious. We were then shown to our table and the restaurant system was explained to us and we were given a card each that was red on one side and green on the other. If you want the waiters to serve you then u leave it green and they will come over with succulant meat on skewers and serve you .There is also a buffet with salad and rice and different veggies that was fresh and with a wide variety.
The waiters kept coming over with sirloin and chilli chicken and topside of beef. all cooked to perfection and really tasty.we both shared a dessert(choc pud-what else!!) it was to die for ...
Bill was a very reasonable 75.00 for two inc service and drinks. definatley will go back very soon, thanks for a great evening!
Several slices of Rio in Pimlico. Just found this place and am extremely glad of it. Excellent (and seemingly unending) food, copious supplies of a bewildering variety of drinks and friendly, efficient service. I discovered the Rodizio/Churrascaria habit in Rio de Janeiro about 15 years ago - it's appearance close to Victoria makes a visit to London far more tolerable.
Recommended for those with large appetities seeking something a bit different from the post-pub curry!
6/10. I've had a good evening at Rodizio Preto. Having travelled around Brazil and having tried Rodizio Rico in more occasions in London (eat as must as you want went up to £23.50 there!), I thought I'd give a go at Preto behind Victoria stn. Price for meat + buffet is £20, I would say that the quality of the cuts we got wasn't the highest but was certainly not bad at all, flavour was also good. Only two disappointing things I must point out: 1) Not much choice available as in two hrs i did not get a single sausage or any liver/heart at all. 2) Some of the cut, especially the stuff wrapped in bacon tasted salty and I mean very salty :( Overall Rodizio Preto is a fun place to go and I will go back for more meat in future, considering that Rodizio Rico seems to put the price up by £1 every other month...
Superb Restaurant. Last Friday I took the whole family - 6 of us in all to Preto in Putney, we had a superb evening, The service was excellent, the staff attentive but not intrusive, the atmospere - good energy with nice music. The food was delicious, a tremendous variety of meats, all beautifully cooked and a delightful hot and cold buffet table. I had a cocktail - a "Green Jamaican" that was exquisite, and for desert the Tiramisu was to die for! I asked my children to rate the restaurant on a scale of 1-10 my eldest (most cynical) son gave it a 9.5 my eldest daughter gave it a 13! I highly recommend this restaurant if you love good meat - and want a fun experience
Great food & Service. I admit i never heard of this place until I stumbled upon this place by mistake... or should I say by luck. I will surely go again, and next time, will take my friends. Highly recommended.
Great food amazing live music. I am just so happy for been there on preto... the ambient the people just make me feel good..the brasilian food is amazing,,,and i really liked all about live music...That brazilian music and that singer just make my night great tks a lot guys nice work...just keep on..
Love it. Great Value, great service most important fantastic food. Also only place outside of brazil that I have had a decent Caipirinha.
Good. Really liked the choice of meats and all the rice/pasta/veg/salad bar. Appetite almost not large enough to do the vast array of tasty food justice.
Could improve on food labelling at the self-serve counter and dispense with service charge due self-serve nature of most of the meal.
Great Value..... Amazing food!. What a lovely restaurant. The decor is great, staff are really welcoming and poilite and the food is outstanding.
Will definitely be coming back here and would certainely reccomend to anyone in the area!
What a place !. We came here with the office last week and had an absolute blast ! Such a refreshing surprise.
The staff were efficient and helpful, within 10 minutes we were all eating which was great. the dirnks were a treat too. The meats were the highlight. Absolutely fantastic.
Im so glad we all the team had a good night out. I would stongly reccomend Preto, its just a shame they arent dotted around London so that every one can enjoy the experience.
Cant wait to go again !
Brazilian Steakhouse. Been to Brazil a few times and I must say that this is the closest to an authentic Rodizio that I have had outside Brazil.
A MUST try
Very Good for Churrascaria / Buffet. Went there this afternoon for Sunday Brunch. Excellent quality. I would give it an 8-9. I started with the buffet and had an excellent plate of feijoada. Very nice chunks of pork in a lovely bean soup, and several styles of rice from which to choose. Also had some salad and lasagna and a sausage casserole. All very nice.
Then I started on the churrascaria. The meat was brought to the table by handsome, attentive waiters (always a plus in a Brazilian restaurant). There were several beef, pork, lamb and chicken cuts to try. All were very nice, particularly the steak and lamb.
This was all washed down by a continuous flow of Guaraná Antarctica, which is a must with churrascaria.
This was followed by a nice dessert of lemon mousse.
All in all an excellent brunch, and one the best Churrascaria's where I have eaten outside of Brazil.
Canivors delight. I have been to Brazil many times and eaten in the world famous "Fogo de Chao" chain in Sao Paulo, Salvador, Miami and Chicago. Without a doubt, the meat in "Preto" is comparable and the service excellent. If you like your meat hot, succulent, freshly cooked just as you like it and delivered to your table by friendly, attentive staff, then Preto is a "must visit." The place has a good atmosphere, is clean, spacious, (more so than some of Londons other churrascarias) and has a modern Brasilian feel to it. The all inclusive buffet is very comprehensive with fresh saldas and traditional dishes, but above all the meat is superb. Try it, I'll bet you will be back for more!
Amazing !!!. The food, location, place,staffs....everything there is Amazing ! As a brazilian I can say is the best brazilian bbc I`ve ever had on these last 6 years in the town !
Tip = Try the "Brigadeirao" (brazilian dessert )
Lunch. I don't agree with the comments written below that the place isn't nice, all that i reckon that is very nice and well decorate
main issue ain't the decoration the issue is the attitude and the unprofessionalism of must of them!
1) the first one and unacceptable the waiter serving you the meat is constantly eating behind the grill.
2) the morning staff the girl and the a tall guy serving were absolutely hopeless no professionalism at all
3)We were waiting for our drinks for about 20 min and i went to check what was wrong and i see the waitress and the bartender having a laugh.
Button line is the place is nice the food is good but is a shame to see someones investment been conduct like that.
Everything that i wrote here was also mention to the waitress.
Cheers,
***Excellent***. Hello, work in victoria and lunch usually some 3 to 4 times a week in the restaurant Preto, I have no words to express how I am treated well and the quality of food, and the team that best in London and ...
A perfect place for families and gatherings of friends restaurant Preto I recommend to all who know enjoy a meat.
Outstanding. I tried hard to find something -- anything -- about this restaurant that would bring a perfect score down, but I couldn't.
This is a brand new restaurant on Wilton Road in the Victoria area that has only been open for a few weeks (I went at the beginning of November 2008). It is sparkly clean, bright and very welcoming. Employees are cheerful, welcoming and helpful. Tables range from two- to four-seaters and are set with views of either the buffet table and chefs, or the passersby on the street.
As for the food -- it is perfect, delicious, plentiful (even overly so!), fresh, quality is high, and incredibly varied. It consists of a large buffet of various salads, vegetables, rice, beans, lasagne, fruit, cheese, bread, and then we come to the meat. Various cuts of beef, lamb and chicken that are cooked in traditional grill (called churrascaria I believe) style in an open area that diners can see. They are brought to your table on their skewers, in all-you-can-eat style. Fortunately, they give you a paper disc to keep on your table, with "more" on one side and "no more" on the other (I call that side the "oh please stop I'm gonna burst!").
While this is primarily a meat restaurant, I think even vegetarians would get their fill from the buffet.
I found the prices to be of excellent value considering what you get for your money, ranging from £14-20 depending on lunch or dinner, and buffet with meat or without. If I were to have to find one thing "wrong", it would be the drink prices (a Coke was £2). However, given the outstanding value of Preto, I think their drink prices would be the most minor aspect to the entire menu.
The restaurant is set between an Indian and Chinese restaurant, and is the newest in this area full of good places to eat, with a very good Turkish one across the street. That being said, I see Preto being the "new kid on the block" who will take this area and give the others a serious "run for their money".
I absolutely recommend this restaurant to every person who comes to the Victoria area (and it's only two and a half blocks from Victoria Station).
Food: Buffet is normal, nothing special includes pasta, finger food, salads, lasagne etc. Their focus is mostly on the meat, different cuts of meat, beautifully grilled - i found some slightly salted but that is due to personal preference.
Service: Fantastic service, the man who served us was polite, funny and extremely welcoming. Its people like him who make the place worth coming to!
Ambience: Lively with upbeat music in the background, great place to hang out with friends and chill out
Overall i really enjoyed the service and if you like meat (i'm Portuguese so my food pretty involves meat at all times!) then this is a great place to come to!
It had lovely food, one of the best I have ever eaten in! Everything was perfect the whole time. The restaurant has extremely kind employees who are always pleasant and thoughtful. I will absolutely come back there to eat both extraordinarily delicious food and dessert. I was served by Allison who worked very hard to make sure we had the best experience possible! With all honesty imaginable I recommend this restaurant to everyone who is looking for a place to have a relaxed meal.
Great food. Everything were freshly prepared. Go for Unlimited meat and starters. They are just delicious. I felt the meat is too buttery though. After few rounds you would already feel full due to the butter
Today I went to preto with my husband because I got my diploma, and was everything amazing! the host Gustavo was really kind with us all the waiters was lovely with us. Great atmosphere
A very lively Brazilian diner in a busy street. It has seating for over one hundred people, Inside and outside and also downstairs. Also private dining. Traditional Brazilian grill. Green card for more food, red card to say you are done. Has vegetarian menu and cocktails and wine.
Good atmosphere and food. Decent prices for London. The 24 bus stops right outside.
Good lunch with a reasonable variety of options. Meet tastes delicious, just save yourself for what you really like as the rounds are non stop👌
The atmosphere was cosy, and the buffet selection was pretty good, but some of the food was a bit salty and the price was quite expensive. It would've been nice if they had other selections like fruit, other desserts and some fish. It would be good if they had other fruits or small jellies for those who do not like cake.
Really liked this place, I was not sure what I was letting myself in for, but I am glad I went to Preto, simple idea, eat as much as you want, and all the various meats are brought round and you chose what you want. You can choose particular cuts of meat, but this time round, I wanted to try a wide range. I would recommend doing one of the Sangria Pitchers, especially the RUM based one, wow! I will definitely come back to Preto when I have more time.
We went out looking for a restaurant to eat at after a long day fighting crowds during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebration. We settled in this place since I like Brazilian Barbecue. This is a very nice Brazilian Barbecue restaurant. The food is very good here. If you've never had Brazilian Barbecue before, it is, essentially, a buffet. However, instead of getting the food yourself, the food comes to you. Unlike other Brazilian Barbecue places I've been to in the past, this one doesn't have a buffet table for the sides. Instead, you order the sides and they bring them to you "tapas" style, as they said. It reminds me of Korean Barbecue where you order everything and keep reordering as needed. The waiters are very friendly and helpful when answering questions about the food they are bringing to the table. We tried all sorts of meat. Beef, chicken, pork and camel! Okay, only I tried the camel. It was salty. Not sure what it is supposed to taste like. We also ordered ice cream ahead of time for our 5 year old daughter. It was the only thing she wanted after the long day she had. Additionally, even with the ice cream (she couldn't finish it, it was a big portion), she ate some of the meat they brought over. Overall, a great place to eat.
Came here with my boyfriend as we both craving some meats. It was a great decision because we loved everything. The lamb and beef mix, lamb and chicken thighs were our favourite ones. This place is not for small appetite for sure. Next time when I come again, I think I should fast a day before 🤣
Last but not least, the waiters and the servers are amazing and friendly. Which makes the whole dining experience impeccable. The only thing it can be improved, probably would be the quality of thr dessert.
Good food and service, though there was one lady walking around with attitude but this did not overshadow our experience. Tbh there was good service from the main staff Philippe and the other gentlemen with the afro and the meat servers were enjoyable as well. Loved the drinks though, the pitcher was a bit expensive but had value but had a lot of sugar in it. Would deffo go again especially on the Wednesday offer.
Went for the 2 for 1 rodizio deal, very good, plentiful meat, well cooked, good cuts, chicken wings, lamb, pork, sirloin, topside, chorizo, rump, etc, friendly staff, nice buffet.
The food was good, not all the meats where tender, they started with the lowest quality meats and at the end they gave us the good ones. The service was super slow, we started with the meat before the appetizer and many items weren’t delivered to our table. But overall was affordable
