Review of Rodizio Rico

New World Brazilian Cusine 
Having decided on a having a meal on Upper Street, we thought we'd vary from the usual choices of Italian, Burgers, Pub food, etc and decided upon Rodizio Rico, a Brazilian restaurant serving an all you can eat buffet. With only just three dishes, the vegetarian buffet, meat buffet and seafood buffet, if you are not in a hungry mood Rodizio Rico may not be the place for you however, if you are then perfect. There is a large salad buffet, serving a range of salads, rice, chips, pastas and more but where the real novelty comes in, is when waiters come to your table periodically bringing you various different barbequed meats, cutting slices for you off at your table. With cuts of garlic beef to chicken to pork ribs to sausage, there should be something for everyone. At £19 for a meat buffet the price is reasonable simply for the sheer amount of food on offer. Though a great meal and night out Rodizio Rico is not without it's negatives. The seafood variation only provides you with a prawn and couple of pieces of squid, which althouh only £5 more, was slightly underwhelming. In addition, it can take a while sometimes, especially as the restaurant got busier, in order for the waiters with meat to come over and with little discipline it's easy to get full on carbs and salad during the periods of waiting. All in all though, an enjoyable night was had by all.
