Charro de Rio

For dining with a difference, check out local North London restaurant Charro de Rio. This Brazilian spot specialises in rodizio, a classic type of all-you-can-eat dining. This is a modern and sophisticated place to try this type of food, where meat is carved right in front of you for an interactive and fun dining experience.

The interior at Charro de Rio really catches your eye, combining weathered walls with contemporary design, and a sizeable skylight. It's a comfortable and stylish environment for a lively and sociable meal. At this restaurant all you have to do is sit back and relax – in many rodizio restaurants you make trips yourself to the buffet of side dishes but at this place they bring the buffet to you.

Every table gets a selection of hot seasonal side dishes, fresh salad, chips, and garlic bread. You can ask for more whenever you want it. Then comes the main event – a large selection of cuts of barbecued and smoked meats, carved at your table so you can have as much or as little as you want. It's a meat lover's paradise, with options ranging from filet mignon to leg of lamb, sausages, and chicken wings. You can have unlimited meat too so feel free to try a bit of everything and stuff yourself silly.

Tempting desserts and drinks from the bar are also served at this contemporary destination. Complete your meal with churros or cheesecake and choose from the extensive list of global wines. There's also a list of signature tropical cocktails that perfectly fit the theme.
