Quick info
About Recanto (Swindon)
Recanto is a Brazilian restaurant in Swindon at 96-97 Commercial Rd. The menu centres on steak, and the main sharing option serves two people on a sizzling platter with about six traditional Brazilian sides. A lunch plate pairs steak with egg, chips, rice and beans, so there is a smaller option for one. Cocktails are on the menu alongside the food, and the restaurant also hosts live music. The sharer platter suits pairs who want to split a meal, and the sides give the table a range of Brazilian accompaniments without ordering dish by dish. The kitchen also caters for gluten free needs.

Customer Review Summary
Steak is the draw most reviewers return to. One diner calls the two person sharer the best steak in Swindon, served on a sizzling platter with about six traditional Brazilian sides, and another singles out the ribeye that comes with the buffet. A lunch plate of steak, egg, chips, rice and fancy beans is described as really good. Close behind is the welcome: reviewers repeatedly call the staff friendly and welcoming, and a group of seven who stopped only for a drink after training say they will all be back. Cocktails earn praise, and one diner loves the super cold beers in glasses straight from the freezer. A reviewer who lived in Brazil says the food, drinks and live music felt authentic, and another says their gluten free needs were met. Opinions on cost differ, with one calling lunch fairly pricey and another saying it is not too expensive. One reviewer suggests booking Friday and Saturday nights because it gets very busy. Another recalls a staff member offering to reheat their steak.

“What an amazing place, such friendly staff. I lived in Brazil for 9 months, came here and it felt just like being back. Authentic food and drinks, live music, and amazing people. Not too expensive either 🌟”

“Luciano the chef is very welcoming. The ribeye steak that accompanies the buffet is a winner. It was under £60 for 2 people.”
- Luisa Rutherford
“Amazing service, the most friendly staff and so welcoming. Great vibes....and the food.....wow! We (group of 7) only stopped for a quick drink after training, and we're so welcomed that we will all be back very soon! Thank you for welcoming us. Oh, cocktails are amazing too 😍 If you haven't been you're missing out!!”

“What a lovely little gem ! Food was delicious, staff friendly, happy to help and suggest what they thought was the best for your liking. They made sure my gluten free needs were met. If there were more than 5 stars I would give more”
