Those who appreciate the often rare combination of quality AND quantity in a dining experience – will be in their element thanks to the latest arrival to Solihull.
Local foodies can count themselves lucky their little part of the world has been chosen as only the third UK location for Beleza Rodizio, a premier Brazilian steakhouse. The second isn’t far away either, in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Renowned for its authentic rodizio-style dining and vibrant atmosphere, this is a meat-eater’s paradise with a rather fun and unique feel – and one that stands every chance of ‘carving’ out its own place in a crowded culinary market.
Beleza meaning ‘beautiful’ in Portuguese, showcases an exciting and authentic Brazilian rodizio in all its flair and finery – an all-you-can-eat extravaganza.
Cooked over a one-of-a kind charcoal grill, sumptuous skewers are carved at your table, the Rodizio-Style service offers meats including beef, lamb, chicken, and pork, all expertly seasoned and grilled. There is also a Gourmet Salad Bar offering a selection of fresh salads, traditional Brazilian and Argentianian side dishes, and hot items to complement the main courses.
And all hail the star of the show – the diverse menu also includes Wagyu, the legendary super-marbled, super-expensive beef from Japan that’s now become really sought-after in the UK. Expensive because of the way it is reared – the cattle are fed for 600 days after weaning and that’s more than double the time for other breeds. It’s the marbling that gives wagyu its unique tender and buttery flavour. And is genuinely the most flavourful beef I’ve tasted.
And now Beleza Rodizio is changing the rules of rodizio-style dining as it’s the only restaurant in the UK to offer unlimited Wagyu cuts, creating a new luxury dining experience. Guests can enjoy a selection of high-quality Wagyu cuts carved fresh at the table, such as Brazilian Picanha, premium sirloin, and slow-cooked Wagyu short ribs.
To help wash it down, there are some great Signature Cocktails, including Brazil’s famous caipirinhas and a curated list of wines, to enhance the dining experience.
And the impressive and vibrant décor makes for a fitting sumptuous backdrop to the rich flavours of Brazilian cuisine.
For the uninitiated in this style of service, my advice is to pace yourself. The passadors are circulating constantly with a variety of meats and it is best to take your time over the plate of food and, perhaps, enjoy extra drinks and salad bar trips between the meat fest.
The costumed passadors even offer side dishes on a skewer, including garlic bread and onion rings and there’s also pineapple carved at your table for those craving a fruit hit!
For the unlimited Wagyu rodizio experience, guests can expect to pay £65.95 per adult, with under 4’s dining for free and children enjoying the same unlimited offering at a reduced rate of £17.95 for ages 5-8 and £27.95 for ages 9-12. Meat is served to taste, so guests can request their cut rare, medium or well done.
This is a culinary ‘experience’ in the truest sense, probably best enjoyed in group occasions or celebrations. Give it a go – but you might want to starve yourself for the day for maximum enjoyment!
With attentive service, elegant interiors and the theatre of meat carved tableside, Beleza Rodizio delivers an experience that feels celebratory from start to finish, whether it’s a special occasion or just an excuse to indulge in quality meat and ingredients.
Belza Rodizio is a fascinating feast for the senses, an immersive dining experience that I think will prove popular – at least with those who have the cash to splash. Otherwise a special occasions venue perhaps.
For guests looking for something beyond the ordinary, Beleza Rodizio is setting a new standard for what rodizio dining can be. Check it out HERE.
