VILLAS BRAZIL in Fareham

First timers here, but sad to hear it's closing for good due mainly to lack of customers. What we had was tasty, but a very small and disappointing choice on the serve yourself section.

Wasn't very busy for a Friday but it should be. Staff were very nice and thr food was brilliant. 100 percent will return

Nice rodizio grill and salad bar

Easily the worst meal we’ve ever had in Hampshire! My wife and I went for the “unlimited” variety of meats. It’s not unlimited - if there’s 2 of you, you’ll get 2 sausages, and so on. We were offered only gammon, some grissly steak and some pineapple all 3-4x each; nothing like the selection advertised on their menu. Service - the man serving us who seems to be the manager has AirPods in the whole time and I could hear the TV show/movie he was watching (which he then went and watched behind the bar). We had our 2 year old daughter with us and had to watch the female member of staff also straddle and sit in this guys lap too. After being offered pineapple for the 4th time in 5 minutes as if it was something new we said we would just call it a day. The AirPod waiter disappeared to watch his phone behind the bar and audibly let out a massive sigh when I asked his colleague to bring us the bill. The waiter tried to get me to pay the bill before looking at it which I obviously refused. I explained why we were unhappy and the AirPod man said our plates were clean so it was clearly good (did not seem to appreciate we were being served portions of feed my 2 year old, despite being in the “unlimited” meat menu). The long and short of it is this place is the worst! Total rip off. Casa Brazil has a less ‘posh’ setting but the staff are so friendly and the food, service and value for money is light years ahead. Avoid this place if at all possible!

Hidden gem great food nice and fresh . Staff were excellent. Only downside there was no chips at the buffet

The best bbq in uk.. Amazing customer service The owner is the best barbecue Thank you very much Ceará ❤️🍻

Both the food and staff were lovely, service was very quick!

Just stopped in for a drink. Seems nice this was our first time her. Staff very nice. HD complimentary garlic bread which was really good. Deffo will try for food as other guests eating seem to be enjoying

Hidden gem, really lovely place. Not many Brazilian rodizio in Hampshire, especially authentic (unlike casa brasil) We had a delicious meal here lovely authentic buffet selections and the meat was seasoned to perfection, with a full selection. The staff were very kind and friendly, and we had a great time. We will definitely be back now we know it’s here! And I hope the business thrives!

Loved the food abit slow on bringing out the peppercorn sauce but would go back again

This will always be compared to Casa Brazil in Gunwharf. We went as a family of 9 on a quiet Sunday, only a couple of other tables full. No atmosphere, service was slow, despite having very few customers. Quite long gaps between meat coming out, this might be because there were so few customers. All you can eat buffet, some odd choices available, no chips, these had to be ordered separately, although included in the buffet. Wouldn't go again.

Lovely food, really tasty. Great service

Driven past multiple times, and finally went in for some food. We went at 2pm on a Saturday, and wasn't busy, but I'd expect it to be full at prime times, so phone/book ahead! We went for the BBQ at the table and each and every dish that came out was top notch, no complaints. The buffet was also tasty as well! The frequency of the meat coming out was perfect, as we were finishing one, the next arrived, just as tasty as the previous The only thing we didn't have have the chicken on the bone(personal preference), but there was multiple steak offers, gammon, cheesed pork sausages etc. Each different to the last. I'm terms of the meat quality, there was very little fat to be seen (something we pay close attention to), and where there was some, it came away easy. We will be coming back for sure! Price was reasonable for what you get, good selection of drinks.

We came here last night, food was ok, not brilliant, they are doing 30% off making it £25 per person. This is about the right price, I'd be annoyed if I'd paid full price, the buffet food was pretty disappointing, the meat they brought find was pretty good, not amazing quality, I don't like that they automatically add a 10% service charge onto your bill and then also ask if you'd like to tip when you pay by card. Seem abit sneaky. I'm happy to tip if the service is good and I do so 90% of the time, but it should be optional. Staff were very nice tho.

Food was absolutely amazing and would definitely go again!! We even got asked if we would like any other meats cooked that we hadn’t had during our meal. The only criticism I would give is that we had to keep asking for drinks as no one came over to collect empty’s or ask if we wanted another drink. And, the waitress made us feel uncomfortable as she was sat on the floor next to the bar with her chin in her hands waiting for us to finish as we were the last ones there. We only had an hour rather than 1.45 Hours as our booking was at 7pm and they closed at 8pm. The waitress kept looking at us so we felt like we had to quickly finish so she could lock up. Otherwise the staff bringing out the meat were really lovely and welcoming.

Very Relaxed. Great food and excellent selection of meat and sides. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back.

Good experience, very beautiful and tidy place, great service with very friendly staff, excellent food just the way we like it, the carvery meat I thought was coming very slowly, with the best options only coming at the end, but other than that the meat was very good. tasty and quality, delicious dessert, we loved the churros, we intend to return soon.

The meat was so raw u couldn't eat it or chew it , I told them and they couldn't understand what I was saying so didn't even care , worse place ever ...

Very nice place. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is very nice, I loved the pork but the beef was a little underdone for my liking. The extras/sides were a good selection and very tasty. Well worth a visit and going out of your way for.

Had our first visit last night, and it was superb! Food was out of this world, and service was excellent. I'm not sure why, but I was slightly cautious due to the location, but this turned out to be totally unfounded. Really excellent evening and our new favourite restaurant. Recommended.

Foods amazing, the meats all perfect. Love it here

This is a great discovery to us. Its much better that the Rodizio Grill in Port Solent. If you love freshly grilled , well seasoned meat, a variety (hot & cold) buffet, and really pleasant experience, visit Villas Brazil. The first time we went they were doing the £20 per head special (which was New Year's Day), now they are back to the £35 per head menu, but I still think it is great value for money.

Family enjoyed our meal this evening, great food and service. Thanks to Hannah and the team.

Loved it, friendly staff, great food and cocktails, we will be returning.

Of course as the name suggests not a big vegetarian option. Great grilled meats. Loved it.

Great place with delicious grilled meats and garlic bread and even grilled pineapple! brought to the table by friendly, attentive staff. they all spoke Portuguese which is a plus as I went with some Brazilian friends who said it was like being at home. The buffet table was a hit too with authentic Brazilian side dishes. If it's not busy the cook will take requests of what food you'd like them to grill and bring over to the table. Can't wait to go back

Friendly staff, the buffet had lots of choice which was all lovely and the kitchen continuously sent a variety of meat out which was all cooked perfectly and really tasty!

Lovely staff, amazing food, thank you

The service was fantastic and the food was like I’ve never had before absolutely perfect and the staff are very welcoming and treatment is spectacular

I have been here, quite a few times, they have a wide variety of drinks, including great cocktails. Very nice food, tasty, good quality and fresh. Great service, friendly and helpful.

Great atmosphere, brilliant service and food is amazing. Really fresh and portion sizes are great. Highly recommended

I was literally treated like a king...love the experience...Will definitely visit again

A comida estava boa. O atendimento foi agradável. E o valor é justo.

amazing food, great service and value for money. very authentic feel.

It was a beautiful experience. My expectations were met all right... .

The best Brazilian food where I eat. 100% recommend and I know that I will back there

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Excellent service and very welcoming. I'd strongly recommend.

Foods good but when I tip I expect the servers to get the tips.

Amazing food, non stop all kind of meat dishes coming to our table. One of the best Brazilian Rodizio I ever went outside of Brazil. The staff is very friendly they went far beyond their way to make sure we were having an amazing meal. comfortable and the cosy atmosphere, restaurant is a must, amazing Brazilian cousine. Highly recommended!!!

Went there with my son who'd been hyping the place up as a must visit. He was right, amazing experience. Staff were super friendly, made us feel welcome from the minute we walked in. Then onto the food....delicious, delicious, delicious. Tendy, tasty and seemingly never ending. Wonder flavours and all so tender. ( i know I've already mentioned the tenderness) I will definitely be going back and recommend you give the place a visit. Just don't eat anything beforehand.

Great place with delicious food .

Very expensive!!! Meat was fresh and tasty, salad bar doesn’t exist. Small variety of beer available. Been before in Brazilian steak house with very good experience this one big disappointment.

My first time dining in, I quite liked it. It had a nice atmosphere, the staff is friendly, the food was brilliant and the service was fabulous. I think if there was a candle at the table, it would make it more cozy as it was night time. I had a great time today and will come back.

This is the best Brazilian style barbecue place around Southampton. The meats are just delicious, nectar, super tender. The service is great. Everybody there is very attentive and gentle. Highly recommended.

Good ambience and good service from the staff.

Muito bomm..atendimento perfeito

Really enjoyed this place, the food was amazing and the service was excellent. Will definitely come back and would definitely recommend

Excellent food. Great atmosphere, and the service was really, really exceptional. Will definitely be returning.

The staff were really friendly and the food was fantastic. And plenty of it

Comida boa e o melhor atendimento da casa . fantástico

So much meat. But a little expensive overall.

Amazing evening, especially the pineapple.

First time visitors and will come again great buffet super variety of salads and meat selection.Staff was friendly and attentive.

Steak on a stick, fresh salads and sides and the most amazing Cinnamon pineapples, what's not to like !

Enjoyed our visit to the Brazilian grill. The food was excellent and the service very good . Good selection of carved meats and also a well stocked salad bar . As it is an all you can eat set up the pricing is very reasonable for the amount you can eat. The staff were very helpful and friendly and it made our visit very enjoyable 👍👍

The food was good and staff cheerful, but some silly family booked a table for 14 on Mother's Day. Not sure if that was a smart move.

Authentic Brazilian grilled rodízio, good variety of selection and service was excellent.

I did really like to have a meal here. The food is very good the service is nice and the atmosphere is cosy. I will definitely will be back.

My wife and I came here for dinner on a Tuesday night. The buffet was well stocked and very nicely laid out and the various cooked meats brought to our table were delicious. All the staff were friendly, polite and attentive. It was a real treat and we'll definitely be back

We had a table of 11 and the service was great. Good quality meat and tasty lovely

Meal out with family and friends. The food was lovely and plentiful. The choices on the buffet were enough for a meal in itself, then the Rodizio meats just kept coming! Everything was cooked to perfection. If I was to make one small criticism, it's maybe that some of the dishes on the buffet were a bit overly salted. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, and made sure that we all enjoyed our visit.

What a fantastic dining experience. I am absolutely baffled as to why the place wasn't busier as the staff were amazing, the food was first class and kept it on coming out.The venue itself is in a nice rural location with parking. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough and more people really need to visit this restaurant as it offers such good dining for all ages and is totally different to most restaurants that you'd visit. Come on people, please give this place a try because I thoroughly enjoyed it and am pretty sure that you will have a silmilar experience.

Very expensive for what you get and the steak we had was very chewy considering we had the prime meat not what I was ex at all

I’ve lived locally all my life and went for the first time here tonight. I’ve driven past so many times and for some reason feel it looks drab, tired and uninviting. My goodness though this place is underrated. We decided to go and it was absolutely outstanding. Delicious food. Amazing buffet and meats. You’ve got to go! It’s awesome.

Truly enjoyed our dinner at this typical Brazilian restaurant. Such a good variety of meats, salads, starters etc. staff always keen to serve. Just Devine. Very full at the end. Highly recommended. Enjoy the Latin American tunes :)

Food was unbelievable, very friendly staff and overall good experience.

Came in today looking for a nice evening meal whilst away with work. Food was unbelievable, staff were very friendly and created a great atmosphere. Cleanliness was not an issue. It’s a great place to meat with friends

Lovely restaurant, amazing food, great service and good prices. Very pleased with our meal and will definitely be back.

The food was excellent when they come around and carve meat on to the plate

Grim! Saturday evening, low on atmosphere, cold certainly and way overpriced! New girl waitress on this evening tried very hard and was very pleasant - who co waitress was different and we felt like we were being rushed! Not sure why as the place was pretty empty. Two menus - standard and premium - both pricey with poor meat quality. Salad bar etc ok although the rice did look scary! Wine choice poor and glass sizes iffy. Went for 4 x Standard at £26.95 each plus some ropey Halloumi and drinks then 4 sweets at nigh on £4 each. 10% service slapped on also - no optional. Waitress 2 looked indignant when we wanted to split the bill and when we mentioned (not complained) that we’d all not had some items offered including the pineapple dish - she shrugged her shoulders and asked “you gonna pay then?” - sadly in summary never again as came away feeling ripped off to be honest!

The food is great so are the stuff.

Very friendly staff and excellent meat.

Cosy environment, clean toilets, good quality food, excellent customer service, fair price, lots of space for parking. We had a great experience and will come back soon! Just be in mind the 10% discount for NHS works in selected days! Overall, really happy experience!

The salad and buffet is excellent. The meat service is slow and I feel they could be more forthcoming so we have learned to take our time and enjoy the evening. Definitely not cheap but a very good experience and definitely do not leave hungry.

Wonderful service and value for money, as a South African we love our meat and we got plenty of that. Buffet well worth every penny.

They say honesty is the best policy. Went last week a party of 9 off us. Had a great evening food was awesome too. Would off taken pictures but ate it that quick. 😆 Paid the bill and left after a great evening, next morning restaurant phones me up apologising they had charged me for a party 🥳 of 12. Wow love the honesty they could of easily kept quite 👍 So have re booked back in tonight Boom 💥

Fantastic. Food was amazing, staff were lovely. The meat just keeps on coming!! Scewer after delicious Scewer. Highly recommended.

Absolutely lovely brazilian food, feels traditional and homely, would highly recommend.

Excellent meal at a reasonable price. Good service by the friendly professional team. Make sure you're hungry!

WOW! Seriously good food. Really interesting restaurant, a really unique dining experience, and most importantly - bloody good food. The meat is stunning, the sides and salads are all excellent quality.

We have driven past plenty of times and finally tried this place out. We have been to another local Rodizio restaurant and i have to say we liked this one better. A smaller restaurant means you get served everything on offer, whereas at the other we found we were usually one of the last tables to be served meaning there wasn't always a great variety of meat. They have 2 grill options, the 2nd Premium giving more meat options, however on the night we didn't seem to get all of them, whether this was simply because our bellies were full we can't say. However i think overall it should be one option and then it wouldn't matter. The buffet is simple and tasty with a good variety of sides. I also liked that the meats were 'known' to us so no kangaroo or crocodile 😂. Service was very good and the cocktails amazing if a little pricey. We had a good evening and will return again.

Comida excelente . Atendimento ótimo , pessoas simpáticas e atenciosas !! Diversidade em drinks deliciosos 😋😋

Superb food. Lovely clean well laid out restaurant. Very attentive staff

MUST EAT HERE!! Oh my goodness, the food here was sooo good. All super fresh food and the meat!my goodness the meat just melted in your mouth. Amazing side dishes and salads that made you want to go back for more. We kept meaning to visit and (typical human scepticism- never having seen the restaurant busy/car park full we thought that maybe it wasn’t popular) HOW WRONG WE WERE! We took a chance (after reading reviews) for my partners birthday. It was a Tuesday night so we expected it to be quiet for lots of other customers but it meant we had the choice of everything. All you can eat and the meats just keep coming and generous helpings from the sides/salad bar. Yum yum nom nom, I wish I had had a bigger stomach as I didn’t want to stop eating it was so good. The staff were sooo wonderful and friendly. WISH WE HAD TRIED THIS SOONER! All the amazing food I’ve been missing out on all this time. Don’t think - just go, we had the most wonderful night full of fun, smiles, brilliant melt in the mouth food and we spoiled by the staff. (You’d think being the only couple there they would have used leftovers or something to save on costs- NO WAY this was all fresh and super succulent) Really good value for money, so delighted. Love love love it My new fav restaurant, and the view of the sunset through the windows totally made the evening. I will be telling all of my friends 😍🤩🥳 Thank you for such a wonderful evening to the staff at Rodizio Grill! 💌

First visit and really happy with the service and food , we will return.

Restaurante vazio um sábado pelas 13.30 quando cheguei e ficou vazio quando sai a carne de boa qualidade mas sem sabor .

Wow some of the finest meats I've had. What a lovely place for a birthday treat. Buffet had some interesting and very tasty things too. Feeling very full!

The meat took too long to come out. We had to ask the waiters for the good meat to come out because they try and scam you when you buy the premium version.😠

One of the best places around in the south to try real authentic Brazilian food and BBQ rodizio. Anyone who has the chance to go past try it out as you will find great flavours and choices of food, we have been twice and loved it both times. This restaurant has beaten similar restaurants we have tried even in central London so if your Brazilian and wanting some rodizio head down or if your engliah and want to try something head down.

Absolutely fantastic!! Loved the atmosphere and the food is great, buffet food is a meal on its own which is very fresh, the meat which is served at your table on skewers is cooked to perfection, lamb, steak, chicken and pork, if you're a meat lover this is for you, the vegetarian options looked good also but honestly I didn't pay to much attention to those options. Also I'd like to point out the cocktails were out of this world! Staff were also very nice 5*.

Meat and salad was nice. Only had 5 pieces of meat for 29.95 each. Very slow bringing meat out so you fill up in salad. Very very expensive. Draft beer was Flat. Staff friendly though.

Firstly, it's worth pointing out that for a meat eater the food here is fantastic, the sides and salads also fantastic but it's way too expensive for what it is at £28 per head. On top of that if you're a vegetarian then it's just plain daylight robbery. Firstly, they had hardly any hot vegetarian sides, though the salads we're fresh and lovely they're not wortg £19 a head. Secondly, we were told children of 12 years old are half price, what they failed to mention is that's only if they have the meat buffet. I asked if they could knock some money off for my daughter who had one plate of food but they said they can't for vegetarians. What they failed to consider is that had I just ordered my daughter a meat buffet and then she only had the vegetarian food that would have been cheaper as half of £28 is still cheaper than £19. It's such a shame as the meat was so succulent and tasty... Just not worth the money and if you're a vegetarian just don't bother. In a nutshell great food, good service but just too expensive and a complete waste of money if you're a vegetarian.

Went on Sunday afternoon, and it was very quiet. The service and food was great. Left very full and would recommend to anyone that likes bbq/grilled meats. Will be going back

My husband and I went for lunch there today, although from the outside it doesn't look that appealing it was very friendly inside. For a steak lover like myself the steak was beautiful, melt in your mouth and cooked to just how I like it. I have eaten a lot of steak over the years but this steak was to die for! I know it is a bit out of the way as seems in the middle of nowhere but it is well worth a try, very friendly staff. 10/10 from me.

Great place, fun staff and great food variety! I don't eat a lot of meat so I was worried at first I wouldn't find anything I'd be able to eat, but they offer a very wide variety of delicious vegetarian options and desserts if you're not a big meat eater. Definitely will go again!

Nett eingerichtet und besonders hat gefallen das das Buffet schön angerichtet, ausreichend und nicht überladen war. Die Bedienung ist aufmerksam. Es war aber auf einem Dienstag auch nicht so viel los. Die Fleischspieße vom Grill kamen sehr zügig und alles war sehr sehr lecker. Ich würde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen ✌️

Friendly staff, many cuts of different meats, beautiful surroundings.

The experience was ruined by a male staff member that not just once but twice served my husband and did not offer me the meat that was brought to the table he then walked away to the other end of the table to serve the rest of our table we were out for a Father's day meal. The service was slow and irregular to the table. Rather disorganised. And my night was spoilt by his actions. Would not go again

Great service and wide ranging choice of meat and inclusive salads and sides. Staff were very friendly and made everyone welcome. The premium choice is £4 more expensive than the basic, but the cuts of meat are worth it. It is not the place to go regularly, because of the cost, but for a treat, it is well worth it. It was not busy when we went (1815 on a Friday), so I cannot comment on how the service would be when it is crowded. It would have got 5 stars if it were not for the expense and the feeling that you are there to eat, rather than relax with friends. As I said, great for a treat.

A surprising find in a rural setting, lots of parking. If you're looking for an unusual dining experience Rodizio offers a traditional Brazilian at table carvery ...2 menu options about £23-£25 per head all you can stuff in your mouth 😁. Veggie is about £18 Endless salad bar had really interesting salads, like black rice and soy beans, all fresh and very tasty! Although I'm veggie, the meat looked very good too, not fatty, well cooked, fresh .. cooked 🍍 pineapple for dessert ... Cocktails, beers, kids choice just really pleasant and really nice friendly staff definitely recommend particularly for party.. they made extra effort with finding candles for my friends cake
