Fazenda is a polished, all-you-can-eat Brazilian steakhouse located on George Street in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town. Part of a small, upscale chain, the restaurant brings the traditional rodízio dining experience to a refined city-centre setting, combining attentive tableside service with a wide selection of expertly grilled meats and a generously stocked salad and sides bar.
The main attraction here is the continuous rotation of skewered meats served straight to your table by waiters who slice everything to order. Expect a line-up of cuts including picanha (cap of rump), lamb, pork belly, sirloin, and chicken thighs, each cooked over open flames and seasoned simply to bring out the best in the meat. The quality is consistently high, and the pacing allows guests to try a bit of everything, from richly marbled steaks to more adventurous cuts like chicken hearts or spicy sausage.
Alongside the meat service is the restaurant’s large Market Table, which offers a self-serve selection of fresh salads, cured meats, cheeses, grains, seafood and Brazilian-inspired hot dishes such as black bean stew or garlic-infused potatoes. It’s designed to complement the churrasco but could also be a satisfying option in its own right, especially for vegetarians or lighter appetites.
The interior is warm and contemporary, with dark wood, leather seating and moody lighting creating an atmosphere that works just as well for business lunches as it does for birthday dinners or date nights. Service is polished, professional and friendly, with staff clearly trained to guide newcomers through the rodízio format.
Fazenda offers set pricing depending on the time of day, with lunch and dinner sittings priced separately. While it’s not a budget option, the experience feels generous and well worth the cost for those seeking a celebratory meal. Ideal for diners who enjoy a sense of theatre with their food, Fazenda delivers a memorable, meat-forward dining experience in one of Edinburgh’s most elegant postcodes.
