PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIAIt’s not the food in your life that makes you feel alive; it’s the life in your food. At Rodizio, you are invited to rejoice in owner Chris Allchin’s passion for fresh Brazilian cuisine with an unforgettably vivacious dining, drinking and dancing experience. Savour an “all you can eat” authentic Brazilian Churrasco BBQ with up to 18 different succulent, superior quality, prime cut meats on individual sword-like skewers. Best of all the meat is carved fresh at each table, often to a drooling reception of Churrasco enthusiasts. All meats are served with your choice of spicy sauces and savoury side dishes. Not just a carnivorous carnivale, the a la carte menu caters for seafood lovers and vegetarians. But holding true to the age-old heritage of the
gauchos (ancient Brazilian cowboys), Rodizio’s attentive, warm-hearted staff go from diner to diner, offering the freshest cuts of beef, chicken, lamb and chorizo sausage from the authentic wood-fired Charrusco kitchen. “At Rodizio we take quality, freshness and generosity of spirit to a whole new delicious level,” says Allchin, proudly.
Dancing yourself dizzy at Rodizio may be the closest you’ll get to Carnivale celebrations without boarding a plane. On Friday and Saturday exhilarating sequined Samba dancers shake to the beat of drums and cartwheeling Capoiera boys heat up the dining experience with an explosive high-energy celebration of life and colour. Sizzling with South American spice and festive flavour, Rodizio is a succulent slice of Rio De Janero in the middle of Leichhardt. Diners, you’ll be dazzled and dancing in your seat ... if you are lucky enough to reserve one that is!
