Reviews Fazenda Rodizio Bar & Grill

I sent my friends to this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The the cooking is fantastic and the stuff is generous and cooperative. always when we go to this place we have a pleasant evening. I recommend this place with pleasure..

Not bad! The place is really nice and the teste of the food is beyond average but it’s not the one of the greatest. It was alright! very recommended.

i would recommend the lunch buffet as it was really good quality food. It was better tasting than at Bem Brasil and was a gourmet food experience.

Visited Sunday night. Had been drawn to Spinningfields for the live music which was great and decided to sit outside at the restaurant to listen to the music in comfort! Asked for some advise on a bottle of Malbec and ended up with a good bottle reasonably priced. We decided to eat here for convenience and to enjoy the wine with some good steak. The meat was very good and you could have as much as you wanted along with the salad at the buffet bar. Despite it being good quality I can't help feeling it was a bit of a glorified buffet and at the best part of £30 each left me a little underwhelmed.

Booking the monthly girly night we had originally planned to visit Bembrasil. However after reading Mark B review he has said he wouldn have rated it higher if he had not attended Fazenda. Looking at the website I thought it was worth spending that extra fiver as it looked swisher. Using the websites booking system it was very simple to pick out slot for 19:30. On arrival there was a reception desk who immediately acknowledged us and a waitress who I felt had been waiting for us led us immediately to a comfy leather booth. The waiter who served us for the rest of the evening queried whether we has been before. When we all shook our heads he explained that after helping ourselves to the salad bar we would simply flip this carded disk to green when we wanted meat and red to stop. After choosing a fazenda cocktail and malbec we waited for our drinks before we set off. The booth was stunning we were walled in by bottles of wine . In front lay the well presented salad bar and the lighting in general made it feel eloquent. Browsing the salad bar made me happy it consisted of various cheeses, sushi, stuffed peppers, dolmas, asparagus, stir fry, mushroom and other rices, roast potatoes, pork stews, prawns in mango, whitebait, chorizo and many others . Basically it wasn't your average salad bar it was creative and hard not to go mad with it. Sitting down with our catch we flipped the disk to green and let the meat commence. The service was so frequent and attentive there were no gaps on waiting for meat when it was set to green. We had beef skirt, pork belly, chicken hearts (thought I would give it a go!) Rib eye steak and various other cuts of meat cooked to my standard I.e rare. However my friend was a well done person so the waiters would cut bits from different parts to ensure this. After devouring some minted lamb the waiter asked if there were anything else on the meat menu that we had not tried. Spying the chicken and bacon, black pudding and Gammon with pineapple we selected these. What I noticed is that they do have a veggie option of pumpkin and goats cheese risotto and gnocchi. They also offered tuna steak for pescaterians. To finish I chose a light sorbet consisting of raspberry, scoop of mango and a third scoop of lemon and lime. Overall I could not fault the service so we agreed to the service charge. The ambiance was great and the food. For £32.60 A head I would say it's worth it. I would suggest it's good for groups and couples.

WOW! Just WOW! (Before I continue, if you are reading this review and probably read just beginning bit, remember to check in on Facebook or Google+ to get a free cocktail. Its the Brazilian cocktail, cairpirinhas). I had been wanting to come to Fazenda ever since it opened but for some reason it had taken till this week to finally go. Most of us arrived before our booking so had a drink outside - although unfortunately the drinks for some took awhile to come and actually arrived just as we we got up to go inside (to go to our table). This was the 1st time inside Fazenda and I really like the interior of it. Very cool, stylish. We walked through most of the restaurant as we were in a private room towards the back. We didn't book a private room. Made us feel more exclusive! (And the added benefit is that it was a bit quieter). I had been to a Brazilian BBQ a couple times before so knew what it was about. Salad bar with various pasta, rices, salads etc. Fazenda's salad bar also included a small selection of sushi. (I only managed to go to the salad bar once - at the start - because I didn't want to fill up on salad/rice etc and leave no room for meat!) We sat at our table and after a minute, we were given a complimentary "sharing starter" which was breaded prawns and dough balls - tasted good. However, we were there for the "main event" #meat. Since it was an evening, we would get the choice of 15 different meats. If you don't know, waiters come round with basically chunks of meat which are carved off right in front of you. I am very much a meat-eater and big fan of steak so was really looking forward to basically a conveyor belt of meat coming to our table! You also get unlimited fries. While eating, someone comes round every now and then with some lovely fries. I was also kind of looking forward to trying the chicken heart. Never had before but interested to see what it tasted like. I think we missed out on a couple things which were in menu e.g. black pudding but had plenty. Some things twice. Some things 3 times. We had: Sirloin Gammon (with pineapple) Chicken thigh Sausage Fillet Lamb Chicken with bacon Garlic Rump Cap of rump Lamb chop Chicken heart Rib Eye Rump tail Skirt Pork Belly Overall it was all so good!! I was a BIG fan of the gammon - as was everyone else on the table. Great flavour, so tender. The sirloin was great too - not usually my favourite cut but this was tender and I think had bit more marbling that normal. It was the 1st couple "dishes" so that may have a factor as towards the end, I was very full so things like the pork belly were not as good - was bit dry. The chicken heart was a little odd. It of course tasted like chicken but with a slight offal taste. Now I don't mind offal e.g. liver, kidney but, as it says on the menu, its an acquired taste. Also, my favourite cut rib eye was maybe a touch dry but that could be because by then, I was so full! Happy, but full! For drink, as well as the cairpirinhas I mentioned right at the start - which was lovely, I also had a beer and also a flight of 3 different red wines. To be honest, I am not really a red wine fine but thought would give them a try and also they apparently "go with" red meat. For dessert, I just had a couple scoops of ice cream. In hindsight I should have just had a single scoop, if any at all. If you come here, come with a BIG appetite - maybe just a light lunch! And maybe wear some pregnancy pants ala Joey from Friends. Also, be prepared for the meat sweats and the meat coma when you get home. The service was brilliant and really friendly and they did whatever possible to make sure you had the perfect night. From the "meat servers", the guys taking drinks orders and our main waitress, Helena, who was excellent. What more could you want, endless supply of meat, drinks, lovely restaurant, excellent service!!

I'm not massively sure how it took me so long to hit this place but based on this experience it's somewhere I'll constantly be hitting in the future! Here's the best bits: * 'salad bar' is just incredible - we're taking veges, salads, ceviche, sushi, salsa, prawns - just loads of food that tastes incredibly fresh and super yum. * All you can eat meat, whenever you want it - all cooked to perfection and brought to you. * At £29.95 per head at dinner time (cheaper at lunch) it's great value for money. *Incredible desserts (cost extra) * Drinks prices are reasonable and there's some very cost effective bottles of wine and the craft beer range is unique and cool from South America. * Really lovely and efficient staff - these guys rock. * Lovely surroundings Overall a really easy decision to award them 5 stars.

Hmmm.......what can I add? Quite a lot really. I'm not really a meat eater but I wouldn't call myself a veggie either so here I sit kind of in the middle. Came here in a large group so we got a private room which was beautiful. The whole restaurant is beautiful, the lighting is beautiful, the staff are beautiful, the ambience is beautiful, the options for non meat eaters not so beautiful! Basically you can have haddock and pea risotto or something with coriander in it. I saw the word coriander and my heart sank to my uncomfortable shoes. Coriander is heinous! Coriander is the devil! I hate Coriander! You can take the worlds supply of coriander and burn it to ashes, I wouldn't care. Coriander should be used as slow punishment to get confessions out of people etc etc etc. I don't care for Coriander. If coriander was my friend I'd block it's number and disown it. You see where I'm coming from? I'm not so keen on coriander! So I got the haddock and pea risotto......it's very fishy and haddocky. Not really my thing so I was glad of the beautiful buffet choice. There's quite a lot to fill up on here, you def won't go hungry but as a none meat eater you kind of miss the theatrics of the waiters bringing skewers of 15 different types of meat to add to your buffet meal. The meat was well cooked so it seems and everyone was holding out for the lamb. Not for me but they seemed to love it. The veggie option includes a choice of dessert so I got the vanilla and toffee ice cream which I have to say was intensely beautiful, so much so that I had to give some of it away to those meat munchers who insisted on staring at me and it with their mouths open as dessert wasn't in their list of options on the meat menu. ......ha, unlucky!!!!!!!!! I paid £30 for essentially vegetables and ice-cream, I'm not mad but it was the most I've paid for a plate of refillable sides so I'm dropping a star purely for the lack of choice for non meat eaters and I would have preferred the water without half a cucumber in it. But still giving four because the buffet is refillable, the dessert was beautiful, the waiters attentive and the surroundings were incredible. If you leave hungry, it's your own fault! You meat feasters won't be disappointed.

The first time I popped into Fazenda a few months back I was struck by how pleasant and non-snooty the host was, despite this restaurant being really quite fancy. Having now encountered probably about a dozen other staff members I would say the same goes for all of them, they are probably the nicest service team working in Manchester today. The only slight blip in service came at the outset on the comfortable outdoor terrace where I was surprised the server didn't know what I meant by the hibiscus cocktail (there's only one, hibisco is in the name) or what the guest ale was. Perhaps people mainly order wine? Anyway the cocktail was great when it turned up, as were the cairpirinhas we got free because we checked in on facebook. The bar snacks actually look really good - a bit more interesting than average (e.g. a feijoada pastry), I'd like to go back soon and sample them. We were lucky to be assigned a private room at the back, it's perfect for 6 - 8 people and like the rest of the restaurant is a beautiful, dark and elegant surrounding. We started off with the salad bar. It looks like a great selection, I confined myself mainly to stuffed vine leaves and peas with bacon (srsly why were those not in my life before) although also had a quick taste of the sushi (not bad, not sure it's raw). Obviously the main event was the meat and I think we sampled everything Winners: sirloin (probably the best I've ever had), gammon (again probably the best ever, it was particularly tender) Honourable mention: garlic rump (some of this was dry but the bit that wasn't was sensational), chicken hearts, skirt, fillet, pork belly Also ran (deliciiously): lamb, chicken wrapped in bacon, chicken thighs, sausage We had a little flight of wine with dinner - 3 glasses of 50ml. I thought this was a great idea, as it's affordable £7.90 and gives you a chance to sample some wines you might not otherwise choose. Dessert wise, I am a fan of having a cocktail instead. Fazenda has specific dessert cocktails, and we (me and Emily, my sharing buddy) loved the espresso martini and strawberry cheesecake. Can't wait to go back!

I think generally it's really hard to find really good Brazilian brasseria (meat on stick), but Fazenda really delivers. Visiting Manchester just for a couple of days (from Sweden) I could not miss out on the opportunity to visit a brasseria and there were no regrets. If you have the opportunity, do try it out. Great service, great food even though not everything isn't he salads bar was excellent, but still good and good wine. Great experience, great food, great staff. And for lunch they even have a vegan menu, so many thumbs up.

Reviewing this place solely on the drinks. Will go back for the food... Fazenda is a Brazilian rodizio on Spinningfields, in other words a place where you come to get the meat sweats. You pay a set price, you help yourself to the salad bar and then they bring round cuts of meat on big skewers and carve it on your plate. I've yet to try the food at Fazenda, but I've eaten at Brazilian restaurants before- and meat- what's not to love? Unless you're veggie of course then stay the hell away. Anyways I've come here on numerous occasions for drinks on their outdoor patio. It's comfy, has sofas with big cushions and there are outdoor heaters so you won't get cold in the Manchester weather. The interior is gorgeous- all sexy yellow and black marble. And the cocktails are fab. This time round I had the hibiscus cocktail with gin and egg whites and it was seriously good. Plus it was a twist on a margarita with a kind of salty rose petal garnish around the rim of the glass. Great if you're on a date as the vibe is rather sultry and the outdoor area makes you feel like you could be sitting outside in continental Europe...almost.

This is the place for good meat! The beef was mouth wayeringly succulent and juicy, the lamb was seasoned to perfection and melted in your mouth and the chicken wrapped in bacon was delicious. Even the cold starters buffet and salad bar was amazing. The staff were great and really attentive. I love this place!

Big fan of Fazenda. The food is great, staff very welcoming and an all round brilliant atmosphere! The choice of salad/sides to accompany the meat makes this restaurant stand out for me as other similar places have let me down on this front, and of course the meats are cooked to perfection. My only bits of advice are to make sure you plan ahead and book in advance as it is very popular and getting in last minute can be difficult and also you probably shouldn't eat for about 3 days beforehand :) Already excited for my next meal here!

Service and atmosphere were great. Food was lovely- high quality meat for sure. Although, the salad bar could do with more work, some of the items on there looked like they were there for too long. Aside from that, definitely a good experience

A while since our last visit, but still top marks. The atmosphere is cosy and for such a large restaurant this is remarkable. Service is excellent, friendly knowledgeable staff, keen to please and no request is too much, always asking if there is anything they can do for you. The food is excellent , meat from rare to well done, just as you like it. The salad table is varied and delicious , sides are good portions . We couldn’t resist desert and wow were we pleased!

We lost the count for how many times we visited here but we never get disappointed. Excellent customer service is one of the reasons we keep coming back and of course the quality of foods too. The atmosphere is very good especially to celebrate the special occasions. Always look forward to go to Fazenda because we know that we are going to have a good time there. Thank you Fazenda

If you're a meat lover and looking for Halal meat then oohlala you have to go here.. The service is spectacularly amazing, All there meat steaks are juicy fresh and just delicious. They have good sides as well, plenty of salad options. Loved their Garlic aioli and Hummus it went well with the steaks. It is a busy place so pick you day wisely. I will definitely go here again. Parking is a bit further.

Absolutely impeccable, I am highly satisfied with the experience I had at Fazendas on the 24/02/24 To begin, the food was delicious, I loved the salad and meat selection which you can help your self, and theres waiters delivering different kinds of fresh, tender meats straight to your table. And what I love about this, is the fact you can choose your desired cook preference of how you want your meat cooked. The sides were very also spectacular, especially the fact they are unlimited and you can request more when needed. The staff itself in Fazendas are so welcoming and professional, they are widely available around the restaurant when you need anything. Moreover, the food and service was top standard, and I would highly recommend this place for the experience I had today. I will be returning. The dining atmosphere topped it all off, it was rather busy but very cooperative in terms of service, we visited at lunchtime at around 12:45.
