Formerly a branch of The Real Greek, this Brazilian restaurant follows the Rodizio format: you pay a fixed price per head (£19.95 as of April 2011) and "Passadors" (waiters) bring skewers of meat to you fresh from the grill and carve them onto your plate. There is also a buffet area containing salads and "Traditional Brazilian Hot Dishes", of which your reviewer recalls a kind of chicken lasagne. A £14.95 (April 2011) option is available if diners wish only for items from the buffet.

elvum and bob visited on the Thursday night before a bank holiday, and found it busy, but not full. All the rodizio options were good, but the standout dishes were the rump steak (rare, exquisite) and the beef ribs (melt-in-the-mouth good, hence presumably not actually cooked under the grill).

The only down note was a 10% "mandatory cover charge" that appeared on the bill, which we had not seen advertised on the menu.

Last visited by bob and elvum, 20 April 2011. Opening hours taken from the Rodizio Preto website, April 2011.
