About Rios Brazil

Rios Brazil is a Brazilian restaurant at 16 Bridge St in Swindon, serving in the rodizio style, where the team brings 12 cuts of meat to the table on skewers. The cuts include beef, lamb, chicken and pork, and chicken hearts are available on request. Diners control the pace with a colour system: flipping a card or block to its red side signals when to stop the meat service, and flipping it back signals to continue. Alongside the meat, a salad bar with fresh items and a hot buffet are open for as many return trips as guests want. The drinks list includes ones made with condensed milk and a local beer called Original, and puddings finish the meal. Reservations are required.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers come mainly for the unlimited rodizio meat, with juicy cuts of beef, lamb and chicken served from the skewer, and several call it proper Brazilian food, one Brazilian diner describing it as nostalgic. The salad bar is close behind, described as fresh with a great selection. Diners also like the colour card system that lets them pause between meats, and the drinks, including cocktails with condensed milk and a local beer called Original. One reviewer notes a Negroni was made on request though it was not on the menu. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, with one family saying they catered for children with additional needs and another saying staff helped plan a surprise. Puddings get a mention too. The main complaint comes from one reviewer who found the room loud and crowded and was charged more than the correct price on an item, saying they were told the manager had not fixed it after earlier customers raised it, and calling it a misleading overcharge. Another asked for chicken hearts after paying the bill and was told to sit back down and was served some.

    “What a great place, from the start a very warm welcome. A great choice of drinks, a salad bar so fresh and inviting you'll full up your bowl to the full. And for the main, juicy tender smoky flavours of different cuts of beef, lamb and chicken. A taste of South America in Swindon.”
  • Andrew David Thomson
    “Food was excellent. Service fantastic. This was the first time I have been to one of these restaurants where I need to flip over to the red side. I asked if they did chicken harts after paying the bill and the guy was like sit back down Al get you some. Fantastic place all round.”
