Well... Let me make it clear, we (15 people went there) and chose the all-you-can-eat menu, but it was all-you—can-GET!!!! 😡🥶 I know it is kind of traditional serving but here is something really strange! You will get a very small piece of food every time, and you have to wait around 10 to 20 minutes for the next part! Really frustrating and clearly they serve late late to make sure you will get full without eating or finding food to eat!!! Food quality was very very ordinary, nothing special, even a lot of options were under average Very expensive (around 36 euros) and they start serving the main dishes after 40 minutes Nor recommended at all Check my attached photos 🌠 Each time you will get this size of main course and you have to wait 10 to 15 minutes more to get another slice!

Visited this restaurant on various occasions when I was in Cologne in 2009/2011/2015/2022/2023. In the past it has been excellent but unfortunately the quality has dropped significantly and on my last visit I was super disappointed - especially having just visited a lot of similarly priced rodizio restaurants around europe and australia. The buffet contained garlic bread that seemed to be from the day before due to its consistency, the meat except the chicken was of max. average quality, etc. The attentive and friendly staff have been the best part of my recent visit.

This place is always busy, you have to wait months for a reservation. People go for the "experience". The experience being unlimited food and a cabaret of scantily clad dancing girls (and dancing man) who appear at intervals throughout the evening, each time seemingly having lost progressively more clothes. Their attempt to encourage diners into a conga pretty much failed, mainly because most people were sweating in their chairs desperately nursing their distended stomachs. You can certainly eat a LOT here. The starter salad buffet alone would fill most people, offering as it does prawns, smoked salmon, hams, garlic mushrooms, salad, bread, dips etc etc. But this is only the warm up for the main event, the meat..... This comes on skewers and it comes often. Wave after wave of waiters come to your table armed with great knives, carving off slabs of beef, chicken, gammon, lamb chops. Then there are the sides: fries, green beans, mushrooms and um, grilled pineapple. I was warned not to touch the pineapple as it is apparently put there by the restaurant just to fill you up. As if the 15kg of meat would not do that anyway. It gets messy, it gets bloody and you get full. Quickly. The food is actually pretty good and the quality is fine. No problems there. However, the frantic atmosphere of the place is not conducive to relaxing and digesting your own weight in meat and you get the feeling they want you out anyway. I waddled out into the night feeling and looking like one those snakes that has swallowed a goat whole. My fault for not showing restraint perhaps, but that is kind of the point of the place. Which really is my main issue here. Sometimes less is more.

If you love mountains of meat on your plate, this is the place for you! For a bit of health there is a salad buffet and if you can, you should help yourself to the desserts! Always fully staffed, always the same quality!

One of the best servicing restaurant in Cologne I experienced so far. Although can't speak fluent English, staffs are still trying best to explain the meat they are bringing to us. All the meats are delicious but chicken and saussage are a bit too salty. All the side dishes are well cooked and filling in case you don't have enough meat. Roasted pineapple is a must try! Overall, a decent dining place in Cologne!

Best Brazilian steakhouse I've been to. Make a reservation a few days in advance and bring your appetite. They bring you so much food, meat and sides and deserts. Plus during dessert there is a dance number for entertainment. All food is excellent. Staff is top notch. Great evening.

Excellent service, welcoming and very accessible atmosphere

Good for people who eat meet. If you are a meat lover, you must visit. About food: Its a buffet system for salad, and other things they come to the table and serve you. Drinks are tasty and have options with and without alcohol. The desserts were delicious and had a lot of variation from tiramisu to milkrise. Service and atmosphere: Service and waiters were very kind and friendly. The restaurant is old but very well maintained. Good and warm vibes. Cost: About costs, it varies between 25 euros to 36 euros. Note: Only limited options for vegetarian and vegan people.

What a wonderful place! We found this place accidentally and didn’t regret it! I’ve been to Brazil and been to other Rodizio places, this one is outstanding. A big choice of Brazilian snacks (cod cakes, pastel, pão de queijo, etc), big salad bar and constant servers coming with bowls of rice, differently cooked potatoes and of course meat. Spoiler alert 🚨 it’s a place for meat eaters. If it’s your first time in a Brazilian restaurant, picanha is the meat you need to try. The meats are very tasty. And of course the entertainment part done by beautiful samba dancers! Beautiful women dressed up nicely dancing samba, what else could you wish? Loved it! ❤️

Never been disappointed in years. The Rodizio has always been worth the money. For €35 per person, you will not only be full, but you will also really get value for money thanks to the various side dishes, types of meat, and the salad and desert buffet. The drinks are exclusive to Rodizio and must be added to the €35. You should calculate a total of €50 per person for the evening for normal drinks with your meal. The service is always responsive and friendly. Due to the number of people and the samba dance performances on the weekend, the background noise is sometimes very loud and you can also notice that the air conditioning is reaching its limit. Nevertheless, for me this is only a small negative point in the ambience.

What can I say... we came from Limburg just to go out for dinner... a really nice evening from start to finish. The service is amazing!! Everything happens quickly, but without hecticness. The service staff are funny and that creates a relaxed atmosphere!! Drinks come quickly too!! The price/performance ratio is mega. The meat is buttery soft, flavorful and very varied (we stopped counting at the 11th meat variation). Our eyes would have liked to eat more, but at some point our bellies gave up. We then rolled home with a smile on our faces... We'll definitely be back!!!

We had dinner there today with a larger group of people. The ambience is fine and the service is not intrusive. What's a bit strange but probably part of the concept is that the meat comes first and then the side dishes at some point. Most of the meat was grilled to perfection. The salad buffet and dessert selection were good. But what gives us a blatant point deduction is the fact that we were actually thrown out after the meal because the table was supposedly reserved again and the guests were already waiting (we didn't see anyone) We would have liked to stay longer, but so we went somewhere else and left our money there. It was definitely our last visit.

(Translated by Google) High quality, deliciously seasoned meat! Creative side dishes, prawns, seafood salad, grilled pineapple ..... Great ambience, pleasant, motivated service! We will be back definitely! (Original) Hochwertiges, köstlich gewürztes Fleisch! Kreative Beilagen, Gambas, Meeresfrüchtesalat, gegrillte Ananas ..... Tolles Ambiente, angenehmer, motivierter Service! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

At first we were somewhat disappointed, thinking "30 Euros for a salad bar, really? Where is the real food?" The real food came to the table, constantly, and getting better and better on every turn, until we were bursting! And still the food kept coming. We'll definitely be back...after not having eaten for a week.

I’m Brazilian and I live in Cologne. This was my first (of many) visits to Pantanal Restaurant. I was with two good friends and we all had the same feedback I now share: OUTSTANDING. The team is very gentle, highly educated and they suggest things to improve your experience. As Brazilian I am, this is one of the best “Rodízio” restaurants I’ve been and the price is fair. There you can find the famous caipirinha, feijoada or even a guaraná soda. Meat is top quality and the waiting time is short. Location is also good but parking a car might be challenging. Go with time, food is really good! Thank you #pantanal-köln team, awesome experience.

We've been there yesterday, paid 35,50 for food and drinks were paid extra. The first served beef was really good, pork not so good unfortunately, in general more than anyone can eat so at some point we had to say no to chicken or sausages. I understand that you make money with drinks, but amount of salt on the meat, french fries, champignons was just unbearable. For me this was one time experience and probably I won't go there ever again. It's just too much salt!

It was a really nice experience. The waiter was very nice and was spoke to me in my native language which is really a nice gesture. Food and building was great.

The buffet is small but there were people walking around with other dishes to serve. So in total it was great! There were a variety of dishes for the buffet and as we all know, the best meats come in the end for the churrasco. The servers were all so friendly too. Toilets are most of the time a good indicator for me if the place is clean and yes, they were!

Traditional rodizio in Germany, serving varieties of meat in a style, Brazilian show during food service makes cheerful atmosphere

Great service, and the buffet is plentiful. Side dancing girls are a good entertainment too.

Worthwhile. Wonderful food, great service and a great show.

We were there with 7 colleagues and wanted to have a nice evening. Unfortunately nothing came of it. The whole restaurant smelled like a drain, according to the waiter, the problem had been known for years...so the food was inedible!! The starter buffet was nothing special, I expected more for the price... We found the show sessions with the Brazilian dancers very entertaining. But we won't come back again.

We often go there for men's evenings together. Unfortunately this time it was very crowded and we had to wait over 40 minutes before we got our first skewers. We also had to wait a long time for drinks at the beginning. In addition, a waiter spilled hot vegetable water on my friend and didn't even really apologize for it. Nevertheless, the food and the skewers were again delicious and later the drinks came quicker. The dancers' performance creates a Brazilian atmosphere every time. We will continue to dine there.

We were a group of 7 and had their all you can eat bbq buffet, and did we eat all that we could ;) The dancers who came after every full round of dishes made the atmosphere fun. 100% will go back again.

I ordered the salmon from the menu, which included the salad bar and the dessert bar. Everything was delicious, but the prices are quite high. Had 40€ for myself alone for salmon with rice and vegetables + 2 drinks. Otherwise everyone was super friendly and accommodating.

Very good and polite service. The meat is really excellent! You just have to be careful not to take too many starters etc. You won't be able to eat a lot of meat. The focus should really be on the meat. The grilled pineapple is very tasty, I could eat most of that for the price 😂❤️

Great evening spent in a lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere. The waitresses were friendly and the price/performance ratio was great. Meanwhile, the dancers created a great atmosphere. I can recommend it to everyone 👍🏼

Most of the meats were dry and overcooked and the service on the meats was extremely slow. Salad bar was ok but again nothing tasted fresh.

Excellent food, the wait staff were quick and there was never much time between dishes. Try the chorizo. Reservation recommended. Stay for the samba dancers. It's really a cool spectacle. All for about 31 euro per person.

A very nice restaurant, diffrent from the others If you like meat , go there

(Translated by Google) Super nice staff and very good food. The meat fried to perfection. We will be back!! (Original) Super nettes Personal und sehr gutes Essen. Das Fleisch perfekt gebraten. Wir kommen wieder!!

I think it's the best Rodizio branch I ever tried (I think I tried them all in NRW) the service hospitality of the staff is very good and of course for meat lovers it's the best place .. you always need a reservation and most of the time it's very busy. And the brazilian dance makes it a fun experience for first timers 😉 there is also a nearby parking across the road so it's easy to park there.

Well each time i visit Cologne i must come to Pantanal amazing concept , very tasty open bar salades and non stop meat service ... with plenty veggies... we paid 250 euro for 6 people including drinks and a bootle of wine. Really cheap

Great barbecue, amazing friendly service. Feels like being back in Brazil. The dancers are a plus!

The food quality is great. There isn't a lot of variety, however, and it's not the most authentic Brazilian restaurant out there.

(Translated by Google) Bad service, we had to wait for the side dishes, when we were almost finished they came. Sauces were only brought when requested. The waiter didn't come after the meal for the drinks. Never again. (Original) Schlechter Service , wir mussten auf die Beilagen warten , als wir quasi fertig waren kamen sie dann. Saucen wurden erst mach Aufforderung gebracht. Kellner kam nach dem Essen für die Getränke gar nicht mehr . Nie wieder.

(Translated by Google) Good selection of drinks and meat was okay too. Everything delicious and all friendly. Deductions, however, for the chairs, which were smooth and hard. In addition, the chairs still slipped on the floor. Therefore, comfortable sitting was not possible. Unfortunately, there are no conditions. (Original) Gute Auswahl an Getränken und Fleisch war auch okay. Alles lecker und alle freundlich. Abzüge allerdings für die Stühle, die Glatt und hart waren.

(Translated by Google) 2 stars for taste and quality, at least over 10 years ago. Haven't been there since: 3 stars open, because every time the "round" is over, you suddenly have to wait a long time until someone comes again. According to the motto, he has had enough for the money now, let's take it out of the way. Then rather go to the steak house and order what I want, eat, done. In addition, it is less good for clothing if you drop the food from the skewer onto the plate ... (Original) 2 Sterne für Geschmack und Qualität, zumindest vor über 10Jahren. Seitdem nicht mehr dort gewesen weil: 3 Sterne offen, weil jedes Mal wenn die "Runde" durch ist, man plötzlich lange warten muss, bis mal wieder jemand kommt. So nach dem Motto, der hat jetzt genug intus für das Geld, jetzt nehmen wir den Gang raus. Dann doch lieber ins Steakhaus und DAS bestellen was ich haben will, essen, erledigt. Außerdem ist es weniger gut für die Kleidung, wenn man das Essen vom Spieß auf den Teller fallen lässt...

A very frustrating experience with the service. The Brazilian waiters are quite attentive and polite. However the Portuguese whom we paid the bill was extremely rude, unpolite and grumpy. Unfortunately, I won't come back due to this episode even though the food was decent.

Food was nice but it's far from a brazilian bbq.

Really good meat. I do not put 5 stars because the waiters come again and again to propose you another slice of meat, even if you told them you don't want anymore of it

Super recommended... They could just pay a bit more attention on cold salads... All the rest always delicious

Rodizio is a Brazilian restaurant. Typical for this type of places is that you get an all-you-can eat food and beer, and the waiter circle around holding skewers with different kinds of meat which is mostly very delicious. On Friday and Saturday there are also samba dancers which makes for are very entertaining experience.

reasonably priced, decent food, but it does get very loud

entertainment is good, meat comes non stop but it's not the greatest quality (ok given the price). staff stressed and not very friendly

Service is good but the salad bar can improve

(Translated by Google) Cool eatery, the food was delicious. A different way of eating. (Original) Cooles Speiselokal , essen war lecker. Mal eine andere Art zu Essen.

Perfect Italian foods

(Translated by Google) Without many words: 👌🏼👍🏼👌🏼👍🏼👌🏼 (Original) Ohne viele Worte: 👌🏼👍🏼👌🏼👍🏼👌🏼

(Translated by Google) Very good ! (Original) Sehr gut !

(Translated by Google) Those who like meat will love the Rodizio. The waiters come to the table with the different types of meat on the skewers and cut fresh from the skewers. The next one comes by with side dishes in between (but it's better to take only a little of them, then more meat fits in) and you can also help yourself at the salad buffet. Those who still have space at the end can still access the dessert buffet. At a late hour, however, this was no longer filled so abundantly and the taste of what was available wasn't outstanding either. But who goes there for dessert? 🤣 Only it was sometimes a little difficult to understand the waiters what was being served on the skewer and the masks made it even more so. Otherwise it is definitely worth a visit and the price shown. (Original) Wer Fleisch mag, wird das Rodizio lieben. Die Kellner kommen mit den verschiedenen Fleischsorten am Spieß zum Tisch und schneiden frisch vom Spieß runter. Der nächste kommt zwischendurch mit Beilagen vorbei (von denen man aber besser nur wenig nimmt, dann passt mehr Fleisch rein) und am Salatbuffet kann man sich auch bedienen. Wer am Ende noch Platz hat, kann am Dessertbuffet noch zugreifen. Dieses war bei uns zu vorgerückter Stunde allerdings nicht mehr so ergiebig gefüllt und geschmacklich war das vorhandene auch nicht herausragend. Aber wer geht schon dort hin um Dessert zu essen? 🤣 Einzig war es manchmal ein wenig schwierig die Kellner zu verstehen, was da gerade am Spieß serviert wurde und durch die Masken wurde das dann auch noch ein wenig verstärkt. Sonst aber auf jeden Fall einen Besuch und den aufgerufenen Preis auf jeden Fall wert.

(Translated by Google) Very disappointing ... it all happened too fast. Meat was very good! salty. The crumbs could still be scraped off. The side dishes always came at the stupid time ... I would have liked side dishes with the meat and not everything separated. (Original) Sehr enttäuschend... es ging alles viel zu schnell. Fleisch war seeeehr! salzig. Die Sslzkrümmel konnte man noch abkratzen. Die Beilagen kamen immer zum doofen Zeitpunkt... ich hätte gerne Beilagen zum Fleisch und nicht alles getrennt.

(Translated by Google) Very good also in terms of price and quality (Original) Sehr gut auch vom Preis und Qualität

(Translated by Google) Perfect!!! (Original) Perfekt!!!

(Translated by Google) Nothing to do with Brazilian! Never again. Beans are only boiled with water, it comes cold to our table, meat is not good. I as brasileira could 😭 (Original) Nichts mit brasilianische zu tun! Nie wieder. Bohnen wird nur mit Wasser gekocht es Kamm schon kalt zum unsere Tisch, Fleisch nicht gut. Ich als brasileira könnte 😭

(Translated by Google) Have already been to Hamburg and thought it was great .. in Cologne the selection is a little less but everything was delicious ... despite the coronavirus it was well attended .. the later the evening unfortunately the floor in the restaurant became more slippery ... Women had our problems with ... we'll be back ... this time in sneakers 😉 (Original) Waren in Hamburg schon und fanden es super ..in Köln ist die Auswahl etwas weniger aber alles war mega lecker... trotz corona war es gut besucht .. so später der Abend um so rutschiger wurde leider der Boden im Restaurant... wir Frauen hatten da so unsere Probleme mit .... wir werden wiederkommen ... diesmal dann in Turnschuhen 😉

(Translated by Google) Salad buffet very good, meat of good quality, but extremely salty. Side dishes at most mediocre and unspectacular. Dessert just as mediocre. Friendly and fast service, plus everything was very clean. Just 4 stars with a tendency to 3. (Original) Salatbuffet sehr gut, Fleisch von guter Qualität, aber extrem salzig. Beilagen maximal Mittelmaß und unspektakulär. Nachspeise ebenso mittelmäßig. Freundliche und schnelle Bedienung, dazu alles sehr sauber. Gerade noch 4 Sterne mit Tendenz zur 3.

(Translated by Google) Always worth a visit. Delicious food, a highlight when the guys come with the skewers. (Original) Immer wieder ein Besuch wert. Leckeres Essen, ein Highlight wenn die Jungs mit den Spießen kommen.

Totally unpleasant service! And meat is also mass-produced, so the quality is only 1 out of 5 stars!! Not worth visiting at all!
