    I went to the restaurant with high expectations, but unfortunately, it turned out to be quite disappointing. The quality of the meat was very poor, and the service was subpar. Throughout my entire hour-long meal, I could only manage to eat two slices of picanha, and to make matters worse, one of them was almost raw. It was a far cry from the authentic Brazilian barbecue experience I was hoping for. If you care about the value of your money, I strongly advise against going to that restaurant. The overall experience was so disappointing that it simply wasn't worth the cost.

    Unique dining experience. 3 options on the menu. You pick 1,2 or 3 and it's all you can eat. They bring the food to your table on skewers and serve it off the skewers.

    Understaffed so super slow service. 30 minutes for drinks at least an hour food. Chicken was salty and inedible. Spend your money elsewhere. Very disappointing. 200€ wasted

    Crazy good place to dine in, relax and enjoy the evening. The staff is super friendly, helpful and always available. I haven't eaten so well in a very long time.

    Food is ok, but bad service. If you do not order wine, they will ignore you. Serverer only serve you the same food: chicken, sausage instead of fish and gambas seafood is only served 1 time and ignore your request for the 2nd time. We face the same issues many times and won't come back . The service is better at place Jourdan ( Etterbeek) than place st Catherine in the city.

    First time here. It was busy, there was a lot of staff but service very slow. We were seated and then left for ten minutes. Then someone served us drinks and we waited about another ten minutes for chips and salad. Then another five minutes for our plates. Food took a while to be offered. Not really worth the money in my eyes, but it was an experience. Most of the meats tasted nice, a few had way too many herbs on to be enjoyed.

    Interesting concept, cutting slices of meat directly on your plate! And of course this is the place to be for meat lovers; anyone else will just find fish, shrimps and (as a dessert) pineapple and banana. Service was ok, as was the atmosphere. And prices are definitely competitive for Brussels (35 Euro for "all-you-can-eat).

  • 5/5 WadeWatt Why Am I H. 2 months ago on Google • 42 reviews New
    Was my first experience with all you can eat formula. We (2) enter around 18h30 without reservation, got seated. The staff is incredible! Fast but friendly service! We ordered strawberry mojito with and without alcohol, both very up to our expectations! The food was perfect to my expectations. Once we started eating the staff kept passing by with new food. A good combination between meat, fish and hot fruits. All of it very tasty. Again i would like to point out the staff, very professional and always with a smile, it gives a feeling as they all like being there. My only point of critisme would be the maitre/manager/owner. He has a clear view over the restaurant but only came in contact with clients/guests when we asked for the bill. Walking around during service asking if all is fine would have been enough. But now he gave us a feeling he only had money on his mind. Not saying this is true but the feeling we got after paying. I would highly recommend this beautiful place in Brussels and you shall not be dissappointed by the quality.

    Great atmosphere (smart interior decoration, staff friendliness) and great value for money. Make sure you book early and arrive before 18 (otherwise time between servings can dent this dining experience a bit) ! tip: fish menu has GIANT delicious gambas, make sure you try as many as possible early on...

    A bit apprehensive initially as its an all you can eat, but one of the best I've been to. Very busy so be prepared to wait or book at busy times. You get Bread to start, then a choice of unlimited sides (we had fries), salad and veg - all were very tasty. Then it's onto the mains. The standard menu is 9 meat & fish dishes which is 35 EUR per peroan. The staff bring round skewers of each type of meat and they slice bits off for you. You have a card with 'More' on one side and 'Stop' on the other indicating if you want them to keep bringing good over. They're very responsive and come round every couple of minutes with freshly cooked food - e.g. Sausages, garlic lamb, chicken, honey & mustard pork - all faultless. There are also vegetarian options. All in all with the food and 2 drinks we paid just under 40 EUR per person, very reasonable Only downside is drinks staff are a little lax so took a bit of time to get another drink, and the manager/owner (who was just sat in the corner until someone paid) also most ushered us out of the door once paid. Definitely recommended this place and would go back!

    Really good food! It’s Rodizio so it says by itself that you have the best service, just sitting and waiting that they come with the food🥰 friendly workers and I recomend it 100%!

    Went for dinner with my Brazilian wife. The food was ok, but service left a lot to desire. The waiters kept skipped our table constantly, and we spent the best part of our time with empty plates. At one point the waiter served me, and suddenly turned away to the next table without serving my wife! Ironically, while waiting for the bill and having turned our cards to Stop, waiters kept coming to our table. In Brazil, the waiters who are serving the meat are the most important part of the experience. I hope Pampas realizes this and takes some corrective actions!

    Pros: -salmon was edible crack -sausages melt in the mouth and it has this incredible gamey taste -ribs sauce and quality was amazing -honey porc, my favourite, had such a refined and soft taste caused by the honey's enzymes. -chicken wings had this spiced seasoning giving it character -surving sugar coated pineapple rich with protein that degrades the meat leaving you to eat more. Such a good addition -caramelised banana obligating you fill your stomach even after the end -shrimp were also perfectly seasoned -garlic lamb is also a great combination of flavors -picanha was cooked with bigger salts, leaving a burst of flavor overall -even their garlic bread was so delicate, also great addition All of this cooked by one guy which at this point should be called Dionysus as he engineered the cooking of all the meats together Cons -other type of fish (cabillaud maybe) was just okay, don't waste your stomach on it -maminha was just alright, could have been softer. Had to chew too much before digesting it Would recommend for meat lovers, and for whomever would like to die from overeating.

    Food was surprisingly good however the staffs to have too much cigarette break besides the customer's table. Waited 15 minutes for our plates while the waitress enjoying her cigarette. Ordered drinks but not served and it ended up on the invoice.

  • 3/5 Walid R. 8 months ago on Google
    It's an average Brazilian churascaria at best, they don't have the famous salad bars and the grill selection is limited but the food quality is good, so overall an ok place to try.

  • 3/5 Thiago Guimarães O. 6 years ago on Google
    The restaurant has a good infrastructure. The chairs are comfortable. The service was ok. They do not have olive oil if you like to put in your salad. The speed of they offer the food is slow, comparing to the real Brazilian "churrasco". They put their on seasoning in all meats, so the meat loses his characteristics.

  • 4/5 Melissa S. 10 months ago on Google
    Everything was delicious, my favorite meats were the picanha and the pork. Garlic bread and pineapple were on point and the best sauce is the garlic, pairs good with all the meat and fries.

  • 5/5 Mohamed A. 9 months ago on Google
    A great option for an affordable ayce Brazilian steakhouse (Rodizio) in Brussels and as a matter of fact in western Europe where this type of a restaurant isn't common. The difference from a US one like TDB is FDC is in the less number of items and that they don't have an appetizers buffet to go along. They bring you some light appetizers items (cheese cold cuts and salad) to the table at the beginning. This was my 3rd or 4th time over a period of 7 years or so and was happy to find that it is still the same.

  • 4/5 Michael H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice restaurant in central Brussels with a single all-you-van-eat menu at a fixed price. I found the food to be of good quality, delivered by a friendly server who came often with the advertised products. I would keep my fingers off the starter-bread since that served me mainly as a stomach filler. Both the cocktails as well as the wine were to my liking. Definite recommendation for meat lovers.

  • 5/5 Magaly R. 10 months ago on Google
    Excellent experience while having lunch! Everything was delicious and well served! First time here but sure will not be the last one! All the selection of meat & fish were just 😋😋😋😋😋 Congrats to the chef 👍👍👍👍👍 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  • 4/5 Bruno R. 1 year ago on Google
    Good quality, nice variety of meats including even some fish into the offer ending with pineapple with cinnamon and fried banana. Service was quite attentive. Good price/quality ratio for the offer (all you can eat style)

  • 5/5 Маrina M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very delicious food, great customer service. Definitely worth the visit and I can 100% recommend

  • 5/5 Martin van o. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is great. Going round with meat and fish and serve you well. You see not editing for the food, because they go around very often. Restaurant was pretty full, and ee had a great time

  • 1/5 Ngandjui C. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was horrible!!! I had a reservation at 8Pm, but my friend and I left without ordering because of how DISRESPECTFUL the server was. It was almost like he didn’t want us there. It was my 1st and last time in this dump.

  • 5/5 Cezar N. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good restaurant for trying several types of Soth American meat. The proposed formula is to pay a fix price and receive different meat and fish one after another until you say stop. Side dishes, salads and water are provided continuously and included in the fix price. I would highly recommend this place for large groups (we were 42), the food quality is very good and the staff very friendly and efficient. There is even a vegetarian menu.

  • 4/5 Pablo S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Brazilian all you can eat meat restaurant, Inthe top 5 that have I ever been to. The service was not bad, and the food was constant. The meats were very well seasoned and not over salty which is great. The sides were ok, the vegetables were a little sad but the chips/fries were great.

  • 1/5 Bruno A. 2 years ago on Google
    The manager has zero patience; instead of presenting a menu you have to assume what they have to drink, and when you take a second to answer he leaves from the table without taking your order. There are other statehouses with better meat and price.

  • 3/5 Lucky B. 2 years ago on Google
    An all you can eat restaurant. The meats and fish are quite good, but I've seen more variety of meats at other venues. Very few options for vegetarians - if any. The fries were 'crispy' and it took a long while to get pineapple and plantain. The waitress had a bit of a scowl and the staff weren't the friendliest or most helpful. We asked several times for drinks and weren't served. It was busy for a midweek night but I'd expect more from the staff.

  • 4/5 Алекс �. 1 year ago on Google
    All you can eat for a reasonable price. Nice choice of grilled meats. A vegetarian menu is available. The place is convenient to meet even extremely hungry friends. Sometimes is difficult to find a parking place on the street, especially in Friday and Saturday nights.

  • 5/5 Matteo S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice location, near the Parlamentarium. A perfect all you can eat of meat. All the different types of meat were very well cooked and the savour something special with different salty or sweet flavourings. They perfectly match the meat! And finally the caramelized banana and in particular the ananas had a special taste. I want to remark the freshness pf the ananas. I cannot forget to say that you should also take the potato with garlic cream inside!! The price was very correct in my opinion
