South American spice comes to London’s very British Bayswater thanks to the Rodizio Rico restaurant. Inspired by the traditional churrascarias frequented by Southern Brazil’s gauchos – that’s cowboys, for the uninitiated – Rodizio Rico is based around barbeque style food grilled on wood fire and carved at your table to order. The gloriously light dining room with its large windows is almost entirely decked out in bare wood, from the high arched beams above to the stripped back flooring below, making for a cosy, warm and relaxed space well matched to the authentically Brazilian buzz that fills the space and on Saturday nights live music and dancers add a carnival atmosphere to proceedings. Though something of a food heaven for the dedicated carnivore, Rodizio Rico doesn’t forsake vegetarianism entirely, providing a very well thought out range of meat-free dishes as well as the classic grilled meats and classic Brazilian side dishes.
