Sabor Mineiro Lisboa — Restaurant in Lisbon

We were staying at Hotel Corinthia and the concierge suggested this place. This is your typical Brazilian style steakhouse served rodizio style. There's a card with a wheel on top - you turn it to green if you want the waiters to serve you the meats or to red if you are done or taking a break.

Food: The meats were good, lots of beef, some pork and chicken. The meat is on skewers and brought to the table vertically, kinda cool to watch it! Good quality and I wanted lean cuts and they happily obliged. Price is reasonable. My lunch partner went for the buffet as they don't eat meat - there were some options like salads, shrimp.

Drinks - ordered the caipirinhas and they were very excellent. Went down very smoothly - went through 2 of them very quickly so decided to focus on the food before the third one :)

Service - was pretty good, didn't face any issues. I don't know Portuguese and they don't know English at least not very well. So it was fun communicating with them :) but despite all that there were absolutely no issues.

Overall a good place for...

I came here expecting a nice simple buffet, but what I got was insane. You go in and ask for a table and once you get a sit they explain to you how it works if you ask. There are 2 kinds of buffet, the normal gives you access to the normal buffet which is huge and delicious already, sometimes a bit cold but not often, the other buffet besides giving you access to the normal buffet you get these little devils constantly trying to serve you freshly cooked meat at your table, there is little red and green circle on your table for you to chose if you want them to come with meat or not but even when it's red they come to make sure to feed you more meat. The service was great everyone seemed friendly and caring about your enjoyment, there is also constant nice live music. The drinks and desserts were amazing aswell. Thanks to the new COVID rules you have to bring a vaccine certificate to get in. I really have nothing to complain about, the food was delicious and I ate until I was bursting, I highly recommend you giving this...

tl;dr: mostly legit Brazilian rodízio, but service isn’t all that great

The experience here is similar to a typical Brazilian rodízio: you turn your little wheel to green to indicate you want to be served meat, turn it red if you want to take a break or ate about to die from picanha overdose, and serve stuff like rice and beans (and sushi for some reason, never understood why churrascarias do this 😂) from the buffet. All for 20 (!!!) euros, all you can eat. As a Brazilian living in Germany, I almost cried when I saw the price.

The meat was good, you can get several cuts in different cooking points, and other stuff like garlic bread, chicken heart and pineapple (which you’d find in Brazilian rodízios). Buffet was meh, but that’s not the point of a churrascaria anyway.

I could say I expected more service wise. Waiters weren’t rude or anything, but drinks took a long time to be served and we felt a bit ignored sometimes. Also, we were only served picanha once, which is annoying.

Good...
