Casa Brasil in Portsmouth

It's all about the meat. If you like rarer cooked meat then this is the place to go. I prefer well cooked meat so was quite disappointed and most of it was beef. Quality of the salad and side dishes was lacking.

Excellent Service, attentive and more important, plenty of meat! Great tasting meal, good value and highly recommended

Excellent restaurant for meat buffet. Replica of the restaurants of this type found in Portugal and Brazil. 36 pounds per person, which does not include drinks and coffee. Friendly and efficient staff, mostly Portuguese and Brazilian. Calm and fun atmosphere. Has free parking. Will be back.

I used to love coming here but all you can eat buffet is ridiculous for the price you pay there's hardly anything there compared to what it used to be like not going back sadly...staff were lovely though

Have just had a party of 17 canceled with one day's notice! A 70th birthday with guests coming from as far as America. Can't believe they are so heartless not sure where to go from here. Absolutely gutted for my amazing husband and guests!

Good place , Miguel was amazing with us .....look after us well. Would be great to have in more location such as Worthing ....

All meat lovers must go here, the cuts of meat are fantastically tender and delicious. Make sure you arrive hungry! Fun, chilled atmosphere, staff very friendly 🍖 🇧🇷

We had a lovely experience here on a sunny evening. The staff were friendly and attentive, and even though we hadn't booked, they quickly set up an outside table for us. The Brazilian-style dining, with food served from skewers brought to your table by waiters, was a fun experience. The red and green card system to signal when you want more food works well, although we did have to wave down the waiters a couple of times as they occasionally missed our table. Perhaps a more visible system, like coloured blocks, would be more efficient. Despite this minor hiccup, the food was delicious, with a wide variety of meats to try, including some more adventurous options like kangaroo, chicken hearts under variety of beef and pork! The price was moderate – our meal for two with a bottle of crisp sparkling wine came to around £78, which is fairly standard for Portsmouth. While you can certainly find cheaper options, the quality and experience here make it worthwhile. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. My only word of caution would be that the atmosphere is perhaps more suited to adults. While older children would likely enjoy the food and the lively atmosphere, I noticed that the one table with young children on a busy Saturday night seemed a little out of place, and the noise from their children did disrupt the otherwise pleasant dining experience for the other guests. So, if you're looking for a family meal out, it might be best to consider other options. If you're looking for a fun and unique dining experience in Portsmouth, I definitely recommend giving this place a try

Great if you love meat! We made the classic mistake of taking too much of the cold buffet before the meat came round. The sirloin of beef, the parmesan pork and the cinnamon pineapple were the highlights of the meats carved at your table. Drinks are a little on the expensive side, but the “bottomless brazil” is a good deal if you can stick to draught beer or their selection of cocktails. Will be back again soon.

Amazing food, amazing service and such brilliant value for money. Really really nice place to have a meal out. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to go out for a lovely meal.

My previous visit here was over 9 years ago but I don't remember the meat having as much seasoning as it did on this occasion. So much so, that is was just not good at all. The ham was inedible as was the pork, lamb and beef. The chicken on the bone was great as were the small sausages. A shame really, because the salad bar and the sweets were excellent. Considering the price they charge, I thought the whole experience was not good value. Disappointed 😞

Fabulous service, great food. Will use again

Genuinly the worst meal I’ve ever had, Overpriced as it can get, get about a crum of meat everytime it comes round, wouldn’t let my dog at it

I've not been for a few years and I'd forgotten just how good it was! Amazing food and service.

I went to casa Brazil last night with friends, everything was great apart from one main issue. The amount of salt added to the meat. The food was really tasty but there was a huge amount of salt all over the meat. The gammon was so salty it was pretty much inedible. We were sat next to the guy cooking the food and he’d hold the meat over the sink and shake half a ton of salt over the meat. I was up 3 times times last night downing water and had a headache all day today. I can’t see why they’re purposely add that amount of salt Shame as would have been 5 stars otherwise

I am quite surprised by some of the poor reviews on here . My experience is quite the contrary. We were a party of 18 for a birthday gathering yesterday with mixed adult and children . The staff were so incredibly helpful and friendly they could not have done more . Excellent gluten free choices and information on other allergies available easily . The manager constantly checked we were ok and have everything we needed . Hot sides were brought for all to share around and refilled on request . They even brought an ice cream which was not on the menu to one of our party which was no problem to arrange and lolly pops for the children . An impromptu birthday song from the staff was fabulous at the end . Thank you so much for welcoming us . Hope to visit again soon .

Brazilian food is excellent. This was not Brazilian food, Feijoada, poor quality, salty, frankly inedible. Bbq meat all tough and tasteless. Salads poor, sweets just ghastly. And not cheap! Staff very pleasant.

Came here for a friend’s birthday - his choice as said he had enjoyed it before! Salad bar - ok Service - I didn’t enjoy how they came over with the meat. We were a table of 7 and the waiter stood at the corner or the table and we all had to reach over to get the meat. The poor person sat next to the meat got splattered with meat fat and she had to act as waitress putting meat on the plate and serving it Meat - meh. I didn’t have much of it tbh but what I did eat was far too salty which made it not enjoyable Sides - didn’t enjoy particularly Waiter came over with our cocktails - put one on the table, then the whole tray of drinks somehow ended up all over me. He accused me of touching the tray, if I did ok it was my fault but still no apology. I was drenched, literally soaking wet. After they had cleaned up the floor then then offered me some blue towel I had to go into the disabled loo, strip and dry my clothes with the hand dryer! Drinks - Pina Colada was nice, my partner didn’t enjoy his cocktail. Over priced! £130 for 2 people!!!! Won’t go back

We’ve had lots of family celebrations at Casa Brasil from my dad’s 80th to our son’s 16th more recently. It’s one of the few places our family of 19 can be seated comfortably, including a high chair and space for a pram. The food is great, lots of lovely fresh salads and delicious meat selections as well as hot tapas and mini desserts. The bar choice is also really good with cocktails and mocktails on top of the usual. For our son’s birthday recently, the atmosphere was great from the start and they were really happy for me to bring a birthday cake. All the staff banged drums, played tambourines and we all sang happy birthday. Thank you to everyone who made it a great day! 🍹

Saturday lunch, despite staff not being busy, we were left standing 5 minutes before we being seated. Meat tasted strange and was very salty, prawns were overcooked tasted as had been reheated. Only highlight was that the guy serving our table was customer focussed, caring and attentive.Wont be going back any time soon.

Friendly service and good food. On the expensive side but plenty of food.

I absolutely love this place! The price is fairly reasonable for all you can eat meats. They have dozens of meats to choose from and the staff are incredibly friendly. There is a wide range of sides and desserts for you to choose from and the quality is amazing. The meats are grilled there and then and make sure you go on an empty stomach as you'll be eating like a king/queen.

Great food, service and beers 🍻. A fantastic all round experience 👌

We had a company dinner at Casa Brasil on 7 December 2024. The place and ambience was good. Location is not that good for commuting customers exceot by taxi. The food which was supposed to be the highlights, was I would say, did not meet my expectations. Gammon and the sausage were like marinated in the sea. The beef was so tough and bland. Pork was ok, but still not that good. The chicken and the turkey were for me the best, in taste, texture and satisfaction in the mouth. I asked one of the staff about why the sausage and the gammon were super salty, he just said that the sausage was his favorite but now it isn't anymore. For a £36 dinner, I will not come back for something too expensive that I can make myself at home and better. Beans was also salty, mushrooms was good. Overall, I can't really talk about it and recommend to my friends.

Brilliant. From the start to the end.

I just had dinner at this restaurant and I can't stop vomiting and going to the bathroom. My stomach won't stop hurting. Possibly because of the raw meat they served me. I asked for it well done and they still brought it rare. I was hungry after just getting back from a trip. They served me another piece of meat that was completely burnt. I couldn't take any pictures because my phone ran out of battery and they pretended that my charger wasn't charging, so I couldn't take any pictures. French fries completely covered in oil. DISAPPOINTED AND FEELING SICK, thank you very much! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Another observation: You guys are right in the gringo evaluation by the response below to a customer and NO, your food doesn't even come close to what quality Brazilian food is. Gringos barely know what good food actually is, but rather poor quality rice, potatoes, “cold” foods, as they say. Brazilian who knows what Brazilian food is, gives this restaurant a 0 rating.

The whole experience was let down from the start. The front desk is unmanned most of the time and you wait ages and I mean ages, for anyone to attend to you to get you seated. Interaction at the front desk is borderline rude even after you have been waiting a long time - no apologies or anything close. The main serving staff are super and were great. Food is ok, not bad, not great either. We usually go to the southampton branch which seems more well run.

First time I'd visited, went with friends for a birthday, clean place with friendly staff, was explained what we had to do and where the food was placed , being the salad bar and plates, salad was fresh , back at the table the meat arrived now there's a variety of meat from chicken to beef and as much as you can eat your given a card , green more meat red no more its that simple, meat arrives on skewers and is sliced off by the staff, it's very tasty and melts in your mouth, drinks are available so you can choose from the menu,as well as desserts also available 😋 great atmosphere. I really enjoyed it. Thank you. Prices are pretty average for 2024. So go and enjoy.

Staff are always very friendly and it's always a good time there.

Great entertainment, friendly staff

Food was brilliant they are constantly bringing around meat, large selection to choose from desserts are very nice also The Staff are friendly and quick when serving cocktails and drinks A very welcoming environment!

We go there every week and we love it. My child always eat for free as he is 3yo, me and my brother never get tired of the service, food and ambience. The staff is the friendliest I ever met and everyone is always up to some banter or a chat. Special shout out to the management team as they go over the top to provide a great service. As a plus tip, if you speak Portuguese or spanish you are gonna love it even more!

I really loved this restaurant! Had some amazing food here (the pineapple and peri peri chicken were amazing)! The meet In the buffet being cut in front of the table really added to the atmosphere. In addition the staff here were very friendly and provide amazing customer service, asking what we enjoyed and making sure we had at least another serving of it Definitely worth coming for a date night !

Great place. Lovely food and plenty of it!

Love this place. Excellent food and a different eating experience altogether.

Always excellent. Food and service are amazing.

Went here for a birthday. Selection of meats was good, service was quick, and staff were courteous and helpful.

Want your full of meats...where better than a never ending supply of it! Casa Brasil is a must dine experience!

I proposed to my fiancee there, was good food, for an all you can eat place, they offered too much of the standard meats however and less steak for an all you can eat steak house, I've been to a few.

If you want good atmosphere go on a fri/sat night, if you want a good quiet meal Sunday is the day for you :-) always a good time

I am a veggie, so there are only two options for me on the menu. I didn't like having to fetch salads from Salad Bar, too many people having contact with food i might eat. The meat eaters had to wait for servers to come around, not as often as previous visits. Prices are good.

Good was either burned or burned and uncooked at the same time for example getting served pink pork and chicken wings on three separate time one the pork was pink and dripping blood from it for people who don't know that meat if it's pink could kill you and then when we told the management about the problem we got kicked out and told never come back.

A different experience for sure my favourite was deep fried banana! The men loved the meat!

Excellent all round, food is delicious, staff are great, worth every penny.

Staff are great will always go out of their way to help you . And nothing seems to much for them I celebrated my birthday there and they sing happy birthday to you on your night and it makes you feel special

Service charge was added to the bill and I did not notice 😡

Loved this place. Looking over the harbour with all the boats and sun going down. Staff were super friendly and professional and could not be more helpful. Only thing that puts me off making this a 5 star place is that you have to order your sides and it's not a buffet self service. Obviously other people may prefer that they don't have to get up and self serve but I felt awkward asking for just one bit of bread etc...

Went recently as a family of 5 (with 2 pescetarians and a vegetarian). Despite being a meat centered restaurant there were quite a few fish and non meat main options (hallomi and prawn skewers were cook to order), as well as within the salad bar and bottomless hot sides (the fried fish was great). The dessert area was not overstocked meaning that the sweet treats did not suffer from being flavourless (as we have experienced in other buffet style restaurants). In fact, the desserts were all very tasty and our party especially enjoyed the cakes with dessicated coconut and the various mousses. All of the staff were attentive and helpful (despite the place being busy) and the price was reflective of the variety of good food and meat available. Definitely would go again!

Great food and a lively atmosphere. Well worth a visit, but wear your expandable waistband

A lovely place, good food and very friendly people! the service is unique and the atmosphere perfect.

Bang average and overall highly disappointing. The reataurant , and the staff , appeared generally tired and in need of a refresh. Great concept , pricing was fair but this is not somewhere I would return to or recommend

Excellent restaurant. We went as a family to celebrate a birthday. The staff are warm and make you feel welcome from the very beginning. The food selection is amazing and tasty and there's plenty of different meats on offer. There was even a bit of live music at one point in the evening. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you.

Reminds me of Fogo Gaucho Nairobi...eat all you can Brazilian style. However, as an African, it could do with more spice to the meat? More spice is always good especially in a cooler clime.

Great birthday meal, staff all excellent......

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Really good experience if you find yourself close to the Marina

The quality of the food is awful!!! It isn’t worth £36 for one person on Sunday! The house salad was like a leftover of last week!!!

Menu does not reflect online thoughts or options, very disappointed and price per person is alot

Great food and brilliant waiting staff

Visited Casa Brazil for our first time having never tried a rodizio. The chef de partie Phillipe was constantly on the ball, ensuring that all customers were dealt with in a timely manner. Alex also made repeat appearances and always served with a smile, all round great staff. The evening BBQ menu was fantastic, side dishes were a little less appealing, but certainly nothing to complain about. Overall a brilliant experience and highly recommend.

Went as a group of four at lunch time, got there a bit early but was no problem, went to talk about my allergy (sulfites) and the host said he was just about to ask which one of us had it as he could see on the booking and had pre arranged with the chefs for some unmarinated food, they went through all the ways to view the allergy's, was simple and easy to understand, it was clear the staff had been breefed when the unmarinated food came out and came straight to our table, I just loved the whole experience, the host even checked up on me half way though, best service I have received since discovery of my allergy. Will return and make sure my allergy is on the booking ready for them

The food was mediocre, but the service was great.

Came here dinner with a group. Well worth the money although I struggled to walk out I was so full up!

Umm not the best to be honest best part was the puddings Rice was microwave rice Meat was dry The mac and cheese was the worst I have ever had Won't be going back sorry

Be sure to book in the evenings. Staff are great and very accommodating. I specifically enjoyed how the catered for carnivore diets

The service in this place is second to none and it's so true what they say on the door, you enter hungry and you leave happy! Great choices of unlimited starters/desserts and the Rodizio is excellent! Would love to come here again, especially with the nice views of the Marina!

Low score because everytime I've been here I always get an upset stomach. But the food tastes good.

As a Brazilian I can say that it is not Brazilian food as it is in the name, only marketing, it could still be any other type of cuisine but that was good, unfortunately the food is very bad!

Always have a great experience here :) food is delicious

Damp smell on entry. Three other tables in use. Walked towards bar area and asked for a table for 2. Polite staff member looked towards a manager in a suit who said “have they booked” this was relayed and we said no. Manager in suit said “you should have waited at the door” sat down studied menu £70 minimum spend for 2. I highly recommend the Indian round the corner.

Lovely, well cooked meat. Huge amount of side dishes. Not a place for dessert lovers as they're small, but you probably won't have room for any more anyway!

I love so much their food, great service, meats are just wonderful and I always go there to have the best food in the world in my point of view! ❤️❤️

This place is amazing. Your first thoughts are wow its pricy, but and it's really a big BUT It's not... The food you get for the price is of good value and quality. Remember, you pay once and can keep going till you have a card saying no, but then you can turn it over to carry on... plus you don't finish there, the afters are the same too, handy small sizes but you keep going till you've had enough plus they really are nice to... This, for us, has now become a must place to visit whenever we are down this way.. thanks goes to my cousin who introduced us to this place. Awsome highly recommended 👌 👍

We just had the best time at Casa Brasil! Kevin and Diogo and many other staff members were super nice and made us feel really welcome. The food was fantastic, especially the cinnamon sugar pineapple! —They even surprised us with some freebies and a whole pineapple to take home😭 Such a great place, and we’ll definitely be back!

A group of 4 Nigerians and British as a treat by one of us whose family frequents the place. Consensus was we all liked the service from when we stepped in till when we left. MeaI was fantastic and tasty. The corn cobs, the cinnamon-sprinkled pineapples, everything. We each shared some and also tasted different things. Spoilt for choices. Would go again.

Excellent service and excellent quality

Huge restaurant with lots of seating. They serve various BBQ meats, all cooked on skewers over a charcoal fire. There will be something for everyone, beef, lamb, pork, chorizo style sausages the only extra cost seems to be prawns. They carve it off the skewers at the table. It's an eat all you can place, fixed price they keep bringing food until you've had enough.

Beware, if you sit on the balcony and it gets cold they are reluctant to let you move inside. Brrrrr If you're a meat eater be hungry as the meats and sides keep coming! The 'tapas' are pretty basic and nothing like the Spanish versions

Can't recommend this place highly enough , the food was absolutely unbelievable, full of flavour, great variety, The service was exemplary, friendly helpful attentive staff. 100% going back

Completely recommend, the food is really good, the atmosphere is nice and the staff super kind and we really want thanks Kevin for his amazing service , super kind and friendly. We will come back for sure , and bring some friends

It was a great Birthday meal, and as I had registered my Birthday it was free!! I just wish they would bring back the full buffet 8nstead of the silly little dishes!! And waited ages for lamb, only to be offered it once! Delicious though!

The food was really good and more than enough.

just want to say this is best birthday i’ve had because of casa brazil the worker called elliot was so nice and his service was qauilty

Amazing place, amazing food and amazing atmosphere! Can’t recommend enough!

Great night out for Father's Day,

Amazing and clean restaurant. Super friendly staff. Food and drinks were amazing. The cinnamon pineapple was amazing we all didn't think pineapple and cinammon would have worked together but it did. We all loved the concept of having the meat brought to our table and cut there and then. The manager was awesome and super friendly. Will definitely dine here again.

Booked for a Friday lunchtime. We wanted a table outside. Waiter said it was closed due to wind but there were no strong winds and also all the other restaurants at Port Solent that had outside seating were serving customers outside. It just sounded like an excuse to me as not bothering to open up the outside when there were only four couples at the restaurant at that time. We ordered the side dishes and the waiter was relying on his memory and forgot two of the dishes and brought one we dis not order being a fried crispy fish. This happened again later when we ordered five more dishes... They missed the two more of the dishes. The meats were not what i would call having a BBQ taste and lacked any marinades or outer rubs associated with Goucho style food that i have had in the USA. It was quite bland and tasted like it was cooked in the oven. The small dull red sausages were nice but that was due to their composition ingredients having nice herbs and spices. I won't be visiting Casa Brasil again.

Great for romantic night our or a birthday or just a chilled meal. Also was busy evening and plenty of staff and well managed did nt have to wait for a table and straight away took our drink and tapas order and explained card system of red one side and green the other for staff to ask you if you want more food to your table. Plenty of staff and friendly and also remembered us from last time which was over a month ago and I believe its a two way experience by asking the staff how they are etc rather than expecting them to ask us with times without a response.

Alex our server was amazing and his manager was great fun. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

One of a kind experience. Literally as they say, "Arrive hungry , leave happy " no words could expand on this experience

Great place if you are very hungry and want to eat meat. The meat is well cooked and they have great cocktails. We went as a fairly big group and were not disappointed

This place is ALWAYS a 10/10. Staff are polite and accommodating. The food is beyond lush and the cocktails are amazing.

The workers are very friendly and kind, and the food is very good especially the cinnamon pineapple.

Awesome service, awesome food, awesome atmosphere...😊😊

A fantastic evening with great food, the servers were always coming around with different meats and very attentive regarding side dishes/drinks etc. Would highly recommends this experience

Excellent service today, me and my love enjoyed a lovely meal and the staff were so attentive, Elliot was exceptional, he took care of our requests and kept our bellies full. Would definitely come back again. Thank you Elliot and Team

Good if you fancy something different. Expensive for a family though. I'd rather go to a nice restaurant for similar costs.

Haven't been here in a long time, quite frankly don't know why we left it so long! Has changed since we last went, but for the better! The choice of food was lovely, meats melted in your mouth. Was hoping for some more exotic meats like I previously remembered but it didn't ruin the experience nor did it make it any less lovely.

Absolute fantastic night out, even sang happy birthday to my mate Dan, very embarrassing 😳 food was non stop carvery at the table, well stuffed! Cocktails were out of this world so would recommend 👌 the perfect evening, not going to mention the bill though! Lol but worth every penny.

Excellent. The food is to die for.

I went here for a friend’s birthday, what an incredible experience. Make sure you are wearing elasticated trousers! The food is never ending and caters for everyone, especially meat lovers. The meat is succulent and tender, real quality and the pineapple slices are the perfect pallet cleanser.
