• Brazilian Steakhouse • Durham

Booked 15 times today

Estabulo Rodizio Bar & Grill honour the Brazilian Gaúcho’s traditional method of cooking. This involves taking the most delicious and flavoursome cuts of meat, which are then skewered and cooked slowly on open flames. This method of cooking also means that all the meat served to you fresh at your table, straight from the grill. You can eat as much or as little as you like, and we have a large selection of meats on offer, so you can stick to what you know or try something a little bit different! We also have a selection of Vegetarian, Halal and Fish dishes on offer and the salad bar which is the perfect start to your meal, and accompanies our entire menu perfectly as little palate cleansers between each skewer that reaches your table.

My girlfriend and I visited the restaurant for the first time on Saturday evening with our 18 week old son, who was in his pram. The staff were so accommodating of us it was beyond belief. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. My only regret is having been aware of this restaurant we haven't been to it sooner. We'll definitely be going back!! Highly recommended!!
